Manual & Smart Collections for Products

What’s New?

We’re excited to introduce

Manual & Smart Collections

for Stores, giving merchants powerful new ways to group and organize products. Store owners can now choose between

Manual Collections

(hand-picked products) or

Smart Collections

(rule-based logic).

Key Highlights:

Permanent Collection Type:
Once created, a collection’s type (Manual or Smart) cannot be switched.
Smart Collections (Logic-Based):
Products are auto-included or excluded based on rules defined by the merchant (e.g., price, stock, title, or variant). Manual overrides are not allowed.
Inclusive Product Matching:
A product qualifies if any variant or price row matches the saved logic conditions.
Validation for Rules:
Invalid or contradictory rules (e.g., “Price > 100 AND Price < 50”) are blocked with an error message at save.

How to Use It?

Navigate to the Collections at:
Payments > Products dropdown > Collections
.
Click
Create Collection
and add details. Choose between Manual or Smart collection type.

Manual:
Search, browse, and select products to add.
Smart:
Define rules using fields like Title, Variant Title, Price, or Inventory.

Save your collection. Smart collections will auto-update whenever product data changes.

Key Points to Note:

Manual collections can be edited anytime by adding or removing products.
Smart collections are fully automated and
cannot
be manually overridden.
Collections may overlap; products can appear in multiple collections if they qualify.
Empty smart collections (no matching products) are valid and can still be created.
Smart collections are processed in background, so the products are not updated immediately.
A product cannot be removed from a smart collection manually, it only gets removed if it doesn't match the condition anymore, or is deleted.
A new product on creation will automatically be added to the relevant smart conditions.
