How it sells itself

A large catalog needs collections for the way customers browse it: by vendor, by product type, by tag, and by the pairs in between. Building those by hand is slow, and the work returns every time you add a brand or a category. Tessel builds them from one rule. You pick the fields to combine and a naming pattern, and it creates a native Shopify collection for each combination that has products in it.

Manage and automate your collection workflow from a single screen. Schedule publish/unpublish by date and time (with paired start/end schedules), auto-create collections from variant conditions or by combining existing ones, organize hundreds of collections into nested folders with drag & drop, and build navigation menus with breadcrumbs.

Key points
  • Smart rules auto-build collections by tags, inventory, vendor, and dates.
  • Real-time sync keeps navigation, filters, and landing pages accurate.
  • Scale collections with background jobs, bulk edits, and cloning.
  • Schedule collections to publish or unpublish at a set date and time
  • Build collections automatically from attributes such as color
  • Combine existing collections into a single new collection

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
