Automatically create product collections

The Genstore platform allows you to automatically add products that meet specific conditions to a designated collection. You can set conditions based on product type, price, tags, inventory status, and more, simplifying product management—especially for large product volumes and dynamic inventory changes.

When creating an automatic product collection, you’ll define the products that meet your conditions. You can create up to 5000 automatic product collections:

• Configurable conditions: Conditions include product type, price range, tags, inventory status, title keywords, etc.
• Condition type: Choose whether products must meet all conditions or any condition to be included in the collection.
• Maximum conditions: Each collection can have up to 60 filter conditions.
