Collection-Level Insights to Drive More Conversions in Shopify

Are you thinking that your Shopify collection sales could be higher? Well they almost certainly could be. Not all Shopify collections are created equal. Some drive thousands in revenue. Others just take up space. The problem? You often can’t see the difference, unless you know where to look.

Most stores track overall sales, not where those sales come from. But collections play a major role in how people shop. If your “Best Sellers” collection converts like crazy and your “New Arrivals” haven’t moved a unit in weeks – you need to know that.

What collection-level insights actually mean

Collection-level insights are specific performance signals tied to each collection. In Portfolytics, you don’t just see traffic—you see how many products are in each collection, how much in sales that collection accounts for, and how efficient that collection is.

Let’s say:

• “Outerwear” has 30 products, and contributes 25% of sales
• “Accessories” has 60 products, but makes up only 3%
• “New Arrivals” gets traffic as per Google Analytics but sells only once a month

These are red flags (or opportunities). With this kind of info, you can stop guessing and start adjusting your store layout, promotions, and product focus.

What you can learn from Shopify collection sales

When you start tracking collection performance with tools like Portfolytics, here’s what you’ll actually discover:

1. Which collections are overloaded

Example: Your “Sale” collection has 90 products, but 80% of sales come from just 6. That tells you:

• You might be overwhelming customers
• It’s time to tighten up the collection or re-sort it based on bestsellers

2. Which collections are underperforming relative to size

Portfolytics highlights mismatches like:

• 50 products, only 2% of revenue
• 5 products, 15% of revenue

This shows where you’re wasting visibility or where you should double down. All in a clear visual, not a data dump.

3. How your product mix affects conversion

If your “Shoes” collection sells well with only 10 items, but your “Tops” collection with 40 barely moves, the data speaks. Portfolytics helps you measure sales per product ratio by collection. That’s insight you can act on.

From dashboard to decision: why this helps conversions

Shopify’s built-in analytics don’t go this deep. You see overall sales, maybe product performance, but not collection-level efficiency. That’s where Portfolytics fills the gap.

And it’s not just about data for data’s sake. When you have these insights, you can:

• Cut low-value collections from the homepage
• Promote high-converting ones more visibly
• Consolidate overlapping categories
• Reassign products to collections that fit how they actually sell

Portfolytics doesn’t organize collections—it shows how they perform

See which product categories generate the most revenue per SKU – insights impossible to get anywhere else. Unlike other analytics apps, Portfolytics maps your entire product hierarchy to reveal which collections are efficient profit drivers vs. resource drains

It connects directly to your Shopify store and analyzes:

• Sales per collection, category and even tag
• Product count vs sales
• Best and worst performing products in those groups

Then it shows it all visually so you can spot underperformers, bloated collections, and conversion winners at a glance. So you can sell more.

Collection structure is conversion strategy

Want to increase conversions without running more ads? Fix your collections.

• Reduce friction by cleaning up poor performers
• Elevate strong ones to key positions (home page, menu, campaigns)
• Use real data to shape future product decisions

A clean, high-converting structure isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about making it easy for your customers to buy. Connect your store – get your efficiency dashboard in a couple of clicks (no credit card)” to spike conversions.
