### 3. Example and how to use it

Let us give you an example:

**IT Scope to Shopify**

IT Scope has Images as fields that are separate, so we want to add them to a small collection field so we can map them with Shopify in one Collection field.

We can do this by going to the mapping section, and on the bottom left corner click on the **"+"** sign then click on **"Simple Collection Field".**

Here are the settings for the Simple Collection Field:

Find the field you are looking for and click on the **"+"** sign do that until you add all the image Fields.

When you are finished, It should look something like this:

That is it for mapping the Simple collection field.

With that done, map it with the collection for Shopify Field,

With this, we will end our Simple collection field article.
