Use collections to target marketing campaigns for specific products and display products on your menu in different ways. Each collection displays a curated set of products based on conditions you set.

Things to know

• Creating and managing collections requires the Menu Management permission.
• You can save up to 100 Collections per location, but you can create an unlimited number of collections for your Ecommerce website.
• In order to link Collections, you'll need to ensure your Embed URL is entered correctly in Settings > Store Info. The field should be entered as [yourdomain.com/menu]. See Collection Management.
• You can only use one condition of each type per collection (8 total conditions per collection); see Set Conditions.

Create a collection

1. In Dutchie Ecommerce Admin, go to Collections on the left sidebar.
   
2. Click Create a Collection.
3. Enter a Collection Name. This name will be visible to consumers.
4. Add an optional Description. This will also be visible to consumers and describes the collection of products and its branding and marketing content. You’ll also have the option to upload a photo for the collection banner. 
    
5. Click Continue. 

Add products and set conditions

A collection can have up to 8 conditions; each condition matches some set of products for display in your collection page, based on what you configure that condition to target.

Supported Conditions

1. Click the Add Condition button to select a condition.
2. Select how you want to sort the products in your collection and click Save.
3. If you have more than one condition, choose whether the collection items need to match ANY conditions or ALL conditions.
4. Click Continue.
   Note: When you save your conditions, you will see a final product count. Collections with many products may take longer to save.

• Items from a category - For the condition “Items From A Category”, you can select either category or subcategory from the options. If these conditions are set, then all items listed in these categories are pulled into the collection. However, if more conditions are chosen, this might filter the product count further.
• Items from a brand - The condition “Items By Brand” matches products for 1 or more brands in your inventory.
• Items by Strain Type - The condition “Items By Strain Type” uses a pre-populated modal for selection so you can include items with an exact match for this specific type, for example, Indica or Sativa.
• Items by effects - The condition “Items By Effects” matches products with 1 or more specific effects, for example, sleepy or calming.
• Items by potency (THC and CBD) - The condition “Items By Potency” matches products for a specific percentage, and either greater than or less than that percentage. Percentages must be whole numbers.
• Items By Weight - The condition “Items by Weight” matches products for 1 or more specific weights.
• Individual Items - The condition “Individual Items” matches 1 or more specific items.
• Items by Dutchie POS tags - Create a condition based on product tags from Dutchie POS.

Applications

Collection applications allow you to select how the collection will show on your menu. You can choose Homepage Section, Navigation Menu Item, Product Card Badge. 

1. Click Continue to finalize the collection in the Confirm section.
2. You can review the collection choice and click Publish Collection.

• Homepage Section adds collections to the home screen in a carousel format.
• When enabled, a Navigation Menu Item shows a collection in the Navigation bar on your website. You can show up to 6 collections in the dropdown. This can be turned on and off using the Enabled/Disabled toggle.
• When enabled, Product Card Badges are used to add more information and character to the products in the collection. This displays a label on the product card to show it is part of a collection.   

Collection badge rank

When looking at the list of created collections, you’ll notice some collections have a Badge Rank. This means the product is part of multiple collections, and this ranking represents the priority in which the Product Card Badge will show. You can prioritize the rank by reordering the collection list using the drag and drop functionality.

Collection links

Collection links allow you to add an embedded URL link to a collection. When added to a collection, the URL goes to where the collection is hosted. This allows you to add the collection link to emails or your website and bring customers directly to the menu collection.

1. Go to Settings > Store Info tab.
2. Enter your menu domain in the Embed URL field. 
   Example: domain.com/menu
