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.

Most collections never change. The same twelve products sit on page one for months while the rest of your catalogue is never seen. Shuffly re-orders the products inside the collections you choose, on a schedule you set. Every product gets a turn near the top before any product repeats. Sold-out products drop to the end. Pinned products never move.

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.
  • Every product gets a turn on page one before any product repeats.
  • Scheduled rotation: daily, twice daily, or weekly, set per collection
  • Sold-out products move to the end automatically.
  • Pin best sellers in place. Exclude products by tag, type or vendor.

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.
