What Collections Are


Collections are groups of products that help customers search for and find items more easily. They serve as categories on your store's website.


Examples of possible collections on your sites:

  • Board Games
  • MTG Singles
  • MTG Boosters
  • Events


There are two types of collections: Manual and Automated. 

  • Manual collections take longer to create, but only include the items your store has added.
  • Automated collections are more quickly created, once the specific criteria for products are met. Once an item has been tagged with specific conditions, it will be automatically added to the collection your store has assigned those conditions.
