What sequences do

  • Group related products to show together (like matching sets).

​
Steps

  1. Go to Merchandise → Product Sequences and click Create Sequence.
  2. Enter a name for the sequence (for example, “Summer outfit set” or “Matching bedding”).
  3. Select a sort order that has sequences enabled. By default, new sequences apply across every collection. To target specific collections, use the Collections field (see Scoping a sequence to a collection).
  4. Add at least 2 products to the sequence and drag them into the desired display order.
  5. Optionally, add conditions to control when the sequence is active.
  6. Click Save Draft to keep the sequence unpublished, or Publish to make it available once its products and conditions are eligible. Saving a draft does not make it live automatically when products sync.

​
Scoping a sequence to a collection

Leave Collections on All collections to group the products store-wide, or select one or more collections. Selecting specific collections replaces All collections; choosing All collections clears the specific selections. The same product order applies in every selected collection. When you start a sequence from a merchandising rule, the collection you’re merchandising is preselected for you. A scoped sequence takes precedence over an all-collections sequence containing the same products inside each selected collection. It does not add products to a collection. The editor lists missing members separately for each selected collection so you can decide whether to keep them. A product can belong to one sequence per collection. You can reuse it in sequences targeting different collections and in an all-collections sequence, but not in two sequences targeting the same collection.

​
Adding conditions

The Conditions section appears below the product list when your store has product attributes available. Use Conditions to define rules that every product in the sequence must meet for the sequence to appear on your storefront.
  1. In the sequence form, scroll to the Conditions section.
  2. Add one or more rules using the condition builder. Each rule targets a product attribute (such as availability, vendor, a metafield value, or collection membership).
  3. The sequence is active only when all products satisfy every rule. If any product fails, the sequence moves to Draft and is hidden from results.
Layers re-evaluates conditions automatically when products update during catalog sync.
If you need the same condition on every sequence, configure it as a global condition under Settings > Product Sequences instead of repeating it on each sequence.

​
Filtering the sequences list

If you manage many sequences, use the sort order filter at the top of the sequences list to show only sequences associated with a specific sort order.

​
Tips

  • Make sure your sort order has sequence mode enabled. Only sort orders with a Sequence Grouping expression appear in the sort order dropdown when creating a sequence.
  • Use conditions to automatically hide sequences when products sell out or change attributes.
  • You can add draft (unpublished) products to a sequence to prepare it before those products go live. Draft products display a Draft badge in the product list.
  • If a product later gets filtered out of your searchable catalog, it stays in the sequence with a Not Viewable badge. The badge covers cases like a product being hidden in Shopify or excluded by a tag filter, and preserves the grouping in case the product becomes viewable again.
  • A published sequence needs at least 2 active (published) products to appear on your storefront. A sequence saved with Save Draft remains unpublished even after its products become eligible.
  • Choose a descriptive name that identifies the product grouping at a glance. You will see this name in the sequences list.
