All three plans offer identical features:
The type of plan you have access to is determined by your Shopify subscription.
In Visual Merchandiser › Collections you will be able to arrange your collections.
The automatic organization is a powerful feature that allows you to automatically sort and arrange your collections based on predefined criteria at a specific time of the day.
You can perform an automatic reorganization from the Collections List or the Collection Page.
Adjusting an automatically sorted collection through manual actions (e.g drag & drop) will change its sorting setting from automatic to manual.
You can still lock products in a position when using the automated collection sorting.
To automatically reorganize your collection from the collection list:
Click Reorganize Collections
In the first drop-down list, select Automatically
Use the next drop-down lists to set the sorting criteria
A validating window summarizing your choices opens.
You can choose to keep your products locked in their position or remove the lock function for this reorganization (to learn more about the lock function, click here).
Click on Validate to confirm your reorganization choices.
To automatically reorganize your collection from the collection page:
From the Reorder Products section:
In the first drop-down list choose the automatic reorganization

In each collection, you can perform a search for a product.
When entering data in the search bar the results will be displayed one by one with a green filter on each product. There is no need to press “Enter” to perform the search.
To navigate to the next or previous product in the search results, you can either click the arrows next to the search bar or use the up and down arrow keys on your keyboard.
With this functionality, you can move one or multiple products in a determined direction.
Tick the checkboxes to select one or more products that you want to move
Click the arrow on the black toolbar at the bottom of the page
To move a product to a custom position, choose between absolute and relative position.
Dragging and dropping your products will allow you to efficiently and visually rearrange your collection by putting them into precise positions. The group drag-and-drop feature allows you to move multiple products at the same time.
To use the drag & drop feature on one product:
Click on the drag handle icon surrounded by a green circle that appears while hovering over the product card you want to move
It is not possible to move a product to the position of another product that is in lock position. If you attempt to place a product to the same spot as a locked product, the product you are moving will be placed either immediately to the left or immediately to the right of the locked product's position, but cannot take over the locked spot itself.
To use the drag & drop feature on multiple products:
Tick the check box on each product card you want to move
Click on the drag handle icon surrounded by a green circle that appears while hovering over the product card you want to move
Release the mouse button

To apply changes on multiple products, tick the checkbox on the bottom left corner of each product card.
To deselect one product, tick again the checkbox of the product you don’t want to apply changes to.
To deselect all the selections, click on the white cross in the black toolbar.

Click on the pen appearing on hover of the product card
Click Confirm
Setting an absolute or relative position does not lock the position of the item.
The relative position allows you to manually adjust the position of a product within a collection relative to other products. This tool allows you to move a product to either the top or bottom position of the selected page.
Click on the pen that appears while hovering
To learn more about the lock function, click here

Super app qui répond parfaitement à notre besoin de mercher un catalogue conséquent autrement que de manière automatique. L'affichage des ventes des x derniers jours et des stocks est ultra pratique. Support super réactif !

L’app Visual Merchandiser est vraiment top ! Elle nous fait gagner un temps fou pour organiser nos grandes catégories avec des filtres efficaces et plusieurs critères (notamment le tri par stock décroissant). C’est exactement ce qu’on attendait depuis notre refonte sur Shopify, et elle répond parfaitement à nos besoins. Super pratique, je recommande !
