# Create nested collections

Source: https://www.goodbarber.com/help/shop/create-and-manage-collections-r125/create-nested-collections-a462/

To create your catalog efficiently, you might need to split it in coherent product set and subset.
In eCommerce, we often name them: categories and subcategories.

In your app you'll order your [navigation menu](https://www.goodbarber.com/help/shop/design-navigation-home-and-header-r88/configure-and-design-the-navigation-menu-a251/) into a "list of Collections" (main category) and the [collections](https://www.goodbarber.com/help/shop/create-and-manage-collections-r125/organize-products-with-collections-a388/) themselves (subcategories).

## 1. Add a List of collection section

Go to the menu **My app > Structure**, click**+Add a section**on the right panel and select "**List of collections**"

1. Give a**title** to your List of collection section
2. Add a **menu image**(either from your computer or from our Library)
3. Set the **publication status**
4. Click "**Add**" at the bottom of the page

Your section is now added in your sections list.

## 3. Design your List of collection section

You can select from different templates for your List of collection menu if you use a Swipe navigation menu.
All other navigation menus will use a classic-type design for the List of collection section.

1. Go to the menu **My app> Structure > "..." next to your list of collection section > Edit design**
2. Select the template you'd like to use
