The Innovanet Collection Manager app, developed by Innovanet Solutions Inc. is a productivity tool designed to enhance the way Shopify store owners sort and manage their collections. Launched in March 2017, this app introduces several time-saving features that streamline the process of organizing products within collections.

One of the standout features of the app is its intuitive drag and drop sorting. This functionality allows store owners to quickly merchandise their collections, making it easier to arrange products in a desired order. Additionally, the app’s ability to export and import sort orders using Excel or CSV is particularly beneficial for those who prefer to work offline or need to reposition products more efficiently.

Another useful feature is the capability to duplicate collections while maintaining the original sort order. This functionality saves time and ensures consistency across collections that are similar or related. Furthermore, the app accommodates custom feature requests, offering store owners the flexibility to tailor the app’s capabilities to their specific needs.

The app also includes a randomization feature, adding a dynamic element to how products are sorted and presented within collections. This can enhance the customer browsing experience by providing a varied and engaging product display.

The Advanced Collections app, developed by Voidwork, enhances Shopify store owners’ ability to create and manage collections. Launched in May 2019, this app extends beyond Shopify’s default collection settings, offering more sophisticated and flexible ways to organize products.

A key feature of Advanced Collections is the ability to create collections with advanced conditions. This functionality allows store owners to group products more precisely, tailoring collections to specific themes, promotions, or customer preferences. The app provides sophisticated sorting options, enabling users to sort collections by various criteria such as publish date, updated date, or discount percentages. This level of control ensures that products are displayed in a way that aligns with the store’s marketing and sales strategies.

Another significant advantage of Advanced Collections is the inclusion and exclusion of products based on tags, keywords, or specific criteria like price comparisons and discount percentages. This feature helps store owners to dynamically adapt their collections to changing inventory levels or sales trends. Additionally, the app can push products with certain tags or zero inventory to the front or back of a collection, aiding in effective inventory management.

Integration with the Shopify admin is stress free, ensuring that the app functions smoothly without impacting the online store’s speed. The app is available in various pricing plans, starting at $5.99 per month for the Essential Plan, making it accessible for different sizes and types of Shopify stores.
