Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureSmart Collection Pro goes beyond Shopify's built-in collection rules. Create automated collections with unlimited conditions and nest them into a sub-collections hierarchy, filtering down from a parent or rolling products up from children. Use grouped rules like (A and B) or (C and D). Filter by discount percentage, rolling dates, SKU patterns, stock, and any metafield.
SmartNest helps merchants create and manage SEO-friendly subcategories in Shopify using tag-based logic. It works with smart collections and allows each subcollection to be edited like a normal Shopify collection. Merchants can control subcollection names and custom descriptions, making it easier to organise products, improve navigation, and structure collections in ways Shopify does not support natively.
- Create subcollections and subcategories using product tags
- Edit subcollection names and descriptions like regular collections
- Organise smart collections with a clear subcategory hierarchy
