- Short answer
- Yes: open a collection in admin and click Duplicate; the copy carries over description, image, product list and conditions, but no sales channels.
- Conditions
- Copied, says Shopify's November 4, 2025 changelog; the Help Center's new-model page names title, description, image, product list
- Copy's title
- The original title with (Copy) added at the end
- Not documented
- Handle, search engine listing, theme template: no page we read says whether the copy keeps them
- Admin API
- copyPublications: false excludes publications; unique-value metafield values aren't duplicated
Where is the Duplicate button?
In your Shopify admin, go to Products > Collections, open the collection and click Duplicate. The copy's title is the original's with (Copy) added at the end. In the new copy, make any changes you need, then click Save, as the Help Center steps describe. In the Shopify app, Duplicate sits behind the ⋯ or ⋮ menu.

- Collections

What does the copy keep?
Shopify's Help Center page for the new collections model lists the title, description, image and product list. The changelog post that announced the feature on November 4, 2025 also names conditions, the rules an automated collection uses to pick its products:
You can now duplicate any collection to create an exact copy—including its title, description, image, conditions, and manual product list so you no longer have to rebuild them from scratch.
What do you set on the copy yourself?
Shopify keeps the copy unpublished so you can review it first, and the Help Center says the new collection isn't automatically included in any sales channels. Choose its sales channels yourself before launch.
None of the pages we read on October 21, 2026 — that changelog post, the Help Center's collection pages and the collectionDuplicate API reference — says whether the copy keeps the original's URL handle, search engine listing or theme template, so check all three on the copy before you publish it. Once it's live, see what a handle change does to a collection's SEO.
If a developer duplicates collections for you through the Admin API's collectionDuplicate mutation, publications can be excluded by passing copyPublications: false, metafield values aren't duplicated when the unique values capability is enabled, and when Shopify processes the copy asynchronously, products are added in the background.
