OK I spent hours figuring this out, it is very tedious because you can’t get it from Datasets in the editor. Yes, I am talking about getting the product collection for a product in Wix Stores. 🙂 Just sharing it here so you don’t have to solve the same puzzle

This code gets one collection name for each product, filtering out an unnecessary collection name (‘retail’ in this example).

Create a backend module called shop.jsw

import wixData **from** ‘wix-data’;  
**let** options = {  
“suppressAuth”: **true** ,  
“suppressHooks”: **true**  
};

export function getcollection(id) {  
**return** wixData.queryReferenced(“Stores/Products”, id, “collections”)  
.then((results) =\> {  
**if** (results.items.length \> 0) {  
**let** collections = results.items.map(x =\> x.name)  
**let** filteredcollections = collections.filter(item =\> item !== “Retail”)  
**return** filteredcollections[0]  
} **else** {  
console.log(“no collection found”)  
}  
})  
}

Frontend code: In this example, I get the product ID from the product page in Wix Stores. I get the collection name by calling the backend function above and I pass it on to an element on the page

import { getcollection } **from** ‘backend/shop’

$w.onReady( **function** () {  
$w(‘#productPage1’).getProduct().then((results)=\>{  
**let** id = results.\_id  
console.log(id)  
**return** getcollection(id)  
})  
.then((result)=\>{  
console.log(result)  
$w(‘#element’).text = result  
})  
})

Thanks!! I was just struggling to get a collection, since the box with sizes had to be different for women’s and men’s clothing. I really spent a week looking for different options. And thanks to you, everything worked for me!
