The collection merchandiser app uses advanced data analytics and past order data to create, manage and sort collections with advanced merchandising strategies. It supports visual and rule-based sorting to streamline collection management and reduce manual work. Rules can be based on Revenue, Profit, Tags, Sizes, Metafields, Vendor, Product Age, or GA4 data like Views, Add to Carts, and Cart-to-View ratio. Features like product demotion, shuffle, and stack sorting further optimize collections.
Is there a free plan, or do I have to pay from day one?
ST: Product & Collection Sort offers a free plan that includes 250 sorts per month and core features like automated sorting, pinning products, pushing sold-outs down, and GA4 sort by Views. It is limited to stores on Shopify Basic/Professional plans processing fewer than 250 orders. Paid plans start at $19/month (1,000 sorts) and go up to $179/month for unlimited sorts, each with a 7-day free trial.
What sorting rules and strategies can I actually build with this app?
The app supports both visual drag-and-drop and rule-based sorting strategies. Rules can be built on Revenue, Profit, Tags, Size Variants, Vendor, Product Age, Metafields, and Google Analytics (GA4) data such as Views, Add to Carts, and Cart-to-View ratio. Advanced features include multi-segment (bucket) sorting, product demotion, shuffle sorting, and stack sorting to further fine-tune collection merchandising.
Will it automatically push sold-out products to the bottom of my collections?
Yes — automatically pushing sold-out items to the bottom (or removing them from collections entirely) is a core feature available on all plans, including the free tier. Merchants with large catalogs specifically highlight this as a key time-saver that keeps collections clean and conversion-focused without any manual intervention.
How much manual work is involved — can I set it up without a developer?
The app is designed to eliminate manual sorting work through automation. Multiple merchants with catalogs of 4,000+ products report the setup is 'fairly intuitive' and easy to get started without technical help. It also provides a visual drag-and-drop interface for pinning specific products, meaning no coding is required for day-to-day use.
What search and filter apps does it integrate with?
ST: Product & Collection Sort officially integrates with Google Analytics (GA4), Smart Product Filter & Search, AI Search & Product Filter (SearchPie), Boost AI Search & Filter, Searchanise Search & Filter, and Shopify's native Search & Discovery app. This makes it compatible with most popular filter and search setups already running in a Shopify store.
What do other merchants say about the support team?
Merchant sentiment on support is overwhelmingly positive — the app holds a 5.0 rating across 246 reviews, with 99% being 5 stars. Shopify Magic summarizes that 'the support team is noted for their responsiveness and excellent assistance with setup and troubleshooting,' and individual reviews frequently call out specific team members (e.g., Aman) for personalized, knowledgeable help.
Does the app work for large catalogs with many collections?
Yes — merchants managing thousands of products and dozens of collections are among the most enthusiastic reviewers. Stores like iTokri (managing specialty pages and thousands of handcrafted SKUs) and Killington Sports (4,000+ products) report using the app daily for over 2–3 years. The multi-segment bucket sorting and automated rules are specifically designed to scale with complex, large-catalog operations.
