🛍️ getCollection() Overview

getCollection() lets you fetch a list of Shopify products with filters, pagination, sorting, and full metafield control — all in one go.

Perfect for building product grids, collection pages, or any searchable storefront. It supports deep customization with custom metafields, variant-level data, and smart utilities like camelCase keys, rich text HTML, and more.

Also returns top-level collection info like title, handle, descriptionHtml, updatedAt, image, and seo.

✅ When to use this​

• Rendering a collection page or product listing
• Showing filtered search results
• Powering infinite scroll or SSR product pages
• Fetching metafield-rich data (e.g. tech specs, weight, warranty)
• Working with variant-specific content
