Collections are manual groupings of products. Use them to organise your catalogue and to power the product listings on your storefront.
Collections are always manual: you choose exactly which products they contain. There are no automatic or rule-based collections.
To view your collections:
  1. Log in to your Marzipan account
  2. Click on Collections in the main navigation menu

Collections list

Collections list
The list shows each collection’s name, slug, status, number of products, and when it was last updated. Click Add collection to create a new one.

Creating and editing a collection

  • Name - the collection name
  • Description - a description of the collection
  • Published - when on, the collection is live on your storefront
  • Products - add the products in the collection, and drag to reorder them. The order controls how products display on your storefront. You can also add subscription packages and events.
  • Attributes - set collection-level attribute values

Market visibility

For multi-market stores, the Market visibility section controls where a collection appears.
  • Leave no markets assigned and the collection is visible everywhere
  • Assign markets and it’s visible only in those

Explaining a restricted collection

A collection that isn’t available in a shopper’s market would otherwise just look empty. Set an optional message and a CMS page to link to, and your storefront can say why there’s nothing to show instead of rendering a blank grid.
The message is only sent to the storefront when the collection genuinely isn’t available in that market, so it never reaches shoppers who can see the collection perfectly well.

Per-market ordering

Once a collection is in more than one market, ordering tabs appear, one per market it belongs to, alongside Default.
  • Default is where you add and remove products
  • Market tabs are reorder-only, letting each region lead with what sells there
Products you’ve given an explicit position in a market come first, with the rest behind them in the default order.
