I want to know is there a way to render Shadows only in Blender's new EEVEE Render Engine. I want my objects in a separate collection and a ground plane on a separate collection(to receive shadows from the objects collection).I want to render the shadows only and not the objects.

As far as I know Collection won't behave like Render Layers in Cycles but you can use material as below to hide your mesh and show only shadows in EEVEE.

  • $\begingroup$ Yeah that is close but when I said only shadow it mean only shadow. I don't even want to render the plane, $\endgroup$

Shadow only

Create some render layers. Subtract shadow from alpha. Play with it.
