Introduction
Custom collections allow you to group products together under a shared theme or purpose (for example “Summer Tops”, “Best of 2025”, or “Gifts under ₹999”). By creating custom collections, you can help customers discover related products more easily, improve browse engagement, and increase conversions on your SmartBiz storefront.

FAQs
What is a custom collection?
A custom collection is a curated group of products that you choose to display together under a shared theme or purpose.
How many products can be added to a collection?
There is no fixed limit, but adding too many products may make the collection less focused. Choose products that fit the theme for better customer engagement.
Can I reorder products within a collection?
Yes. After adding products to a collection, you can drag and drop them to set the display order.
Will deleting a collection remove the products from my catalog?
No. Deleting a collection only removes the grouping. Your products remain in your general catalog.
Can customers see collection descriptions?
Currently, only the collection name and image appear to customers. Descriptions are used internally to help you manage collections.
Can I promote a collection in ads?
Yes. You can use custom collections as a source for dynamic product ads on platforms like Meta (Facebook & Instagram) if catalog sync is enabled.
Do I need to refresh my store after saving a collection?
No. Once saved, the collection is automatically live on your store. You may need to adjust your homepage layout to display it prominently.
