The Problem

CreatorCommerce auto-generates a Shopify collection for each creator’s drop. When you have 50+ creators, this creates dozens of collections that clutter your Shopify Admin collections list.

​
The CC // Prefix Convention

CreatorCommerce prefixes auto-generated collection titles with CC //: 
CC // Sarah's Summer Picks
CC // Mike's Fitness Favorites
CC // Elena's Beauty Essentials
This prefix serves two purposes:
  1. Identification — Instantly tells your team which collections are CC-managed
  2. Filtering — Enables Shopify Admin filtered views

​
Setting Up Filtered Views

​
Create a “Hide CC” View

  1. Go to Products → Collections in Shopify Admin
  2. Click the filter icon
  3. Add filter: Title → does not contain → CC //
  4. Save as a view: “Store Collections” (your daily working view)

​
Create a “CC Only” View

  1. Same location, add filter: Title → contains → CC //
  2. Save as a view: “CC Collections” (for when you need to manage CC-specific collections)

​
Customer-Facing Display

When displaying CC collection titles on the storefront, strip the prefix: 
{{ collection.title | remove: "CC // " }}
This ensures shoppers see clean titles like “Sarah’s Summer Picks” instead of “CC // Sarah’s Summer Picks”.

​
Excluding CC Collections from Navigation

If your theme lists all collections in navigation or sitemaps, exclude CC collections: 
{% for collection in collections %}
  {% unless collection.title contains 'CC //' %}
    <a href="{{ collection.url }}">{{ collection.title }}</a>
  {% endunless %}
{% endfor %}

Important Notes

  • Don’t rename CC collections — CreatorCommerce manages these titles. Manual changes will be overwritten on the next sync.
  • Don’t delete CC collections — They will be re-created when the creator’s data syncs. If you need to remove a collection, deactivate the creator’s drop in CreatorCommerce.
  • Collections are required — Each drop needs a Shopify collection for product display on landing pages. The collections are functional, not decorative.
