Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to questions we hear often. If you don't find what you're looking for, feel free to reach out, we're always happy to help.
Collections & Products
Can I add only specific variants to a collection, without pulling in the entire product?
Usually this comes from stores that sell products with very different variants (different colors, materials, flavors, etc...) and want to merchandise them separately, as if each variant were its own standalone product.
Historically, Shopify collections were product-based: when a product was added to a collection, all of its variants were included, with no way to attach a single variant on its own.
Since July 2026, Shopify's new collection system has added support for variant-based collections. We haven't added support for this in the app yet, but it's something we're planning to build.
If this matters to you, let us know, the more merchants who tell us they need it, the sooner we'll make it a priority.
In the meantime, the most straightforward workaround is to split variants out into separate products.
I have a lot of collections and want to group them together for better organization, without creating another collection. Is that possible?
Yes, this is exactly what folders are for. A folder groups collections together in your hierarchy without creating a Shopify collection: it doesn't hold products directly, doesn't appear in breadcrumbs, and doesn't count toward your collection limit.
Folders can be placed anywhere in your hierarchy, whether at the root or nested under another collection or folder, so you can use them purely to keep your collection list organized.
Can I import my existing smart collections into the app?
As of September 2026, we adapted to a new Shopify collection API update that gives us more flexibility. The app can now import any existing Shopify collection, including smart collections, not just manually-curated ones.
When you attach an existing collection, the app also offers to reuse that collection's existing conditions as a starting point for the app's own conditions, instead of starting from scratch.
There are two limits to keep in mind:
- Conditions that belong to another app installed on your store can't be imported, only conditions you set up yourself.
- Conditions that reference other Shopify collections can't be imported either. That's because the app's own "is in / is not in" collection condition only works with collections that are themselves managed by the app, it can't point at an arbitrary Shopify collection.
Activity
Does Activity track changes I make directly in Shopify?
No. Activity only records what happens inside the app, whether that's you, the API, or the app itself making a change. If you edit a collection directly in the Shopify admin, outside the app, it won't show up in the log.
How far back does Activity history go?
Activity started recording on October 7, 2026, so nothing before that date is available. We currently keep 3 months of history. This may evolve as the feature matures.
