Shopify list sub-collections

Question

Is there anyway, I can display sub-collection (sub categories) of current collection or any collection?

For example

category 1
    Sub cat 1.1
    Sub cat 1.2
    Sub cat 1.3
category 2
    Sub cat 2.1
    Sub cat 2.2
    Sub cat 2.3
category 3
    Sub cat 3.1
    Sub cat 3.2
    Sub cat 3.3

1. If I am on "category 1" can I display all sub categories of "category 1"
2. If I am on home page and I want to display sub-categories of "category 1" how can I do it?

Answer 1

In Shopify, 'sub categories' are handled with tags. So if you have a product category: phones and you tag each phone with colour, then you'll be able to have something like: ../collections/phones/black which will show the collection with phones (you will treat this as {{product.type}}) which have the tag: black. You can also play with vendor here too. So you have plenty of flexibility around this. Here you have the Shopify docs for creating sub categories.

Answer 2

Alexandre is right, in Shopify you use tags to create subcategories.
