# Creating an Ending Soon Collection

Auction Plus can create an **Auction collection** for you so customers can browse auction products in one place.

## What the Collection Does

Once active, products automatically appear in this collection based on their auction status. By default, only running auctions are included, but you can also include scheduled and ended listings.

You can use the collection to:

* Feature auctions on your storefront collection pages
* Add auctions to your store navigation
* Build an auction landing page

## Create or Select a Collection

1. In Auction Plus, open **Features > Auctions**.
2. Open the **Create collection** step.
3. Choose one of the following options:
   * **Create a new collection** — Enter a title and a URL handle, then click **Create collection**.
   * **Select an existing collection** — Click **Select existing collection** to choose a collection that already exists in your Shopify store.

> **Note:** Only smart (automated) collections support automatic auction rules. If you select a manual collection, a warning will appear and auction products will not be added automatically. You can create a new smart collection instead.

## Configure included listings

For smart collections, you can control which auction products appear:

* **Active listings** — Running auctions are always included in the collection.
* **Scheduled listings** — Optionally include auction products that haven't started yet.
* **Ended listings** — Optionally keep auction products in the collection after they have ended.

Toggle these options using the checkboxes under **Included listings**, then save your changes.

## Manage the Collection

After the collection is set up, you can:

* **Edit in Shopify** — Open the collection in your Shopify admin to customize its appearance.
* **View in your store** — Preview the collection on your storefront.
* **Change collection** — Switch to a different existing collection.
* **Unlink** — Remove the collection link from Auction Plus.

## Next Steps

After the collection is active, consider:

* Adding the collection to your store navigation
* Using it as the destination for auction marketing emails or social posts
