Collection customization

Customize individual collection pages in Shopify with the Algolia AI Search & Discovery app

Algolia AI Search & Discovery lets you customize the sort order and facets of individual collection pages. If you’re using the Collection Search Page feature of Algolia AI Search & Discovery, you can customize collections.

Enable customization for a collection

Go to Collection Pages and scroll down to the list of collections.

Select a collection, click Customise and click Enable.

Configure sort orders and facets

Once the customization is enabled, each active sort order and facet from the Collection Pages feature is copied over for the selected collection. You can then customize them for the collection.

Sort orders

You can choose which sort orders you want to activate for this particular collection, how you want to call them, and which ones you want to display first.

Each sort order requires its own index. Make sure that the increased number of records won’t exceed your plan’s quota. If you activated the same sort order in Search options and Collection Pages, no new index is created. The duplicate index previously created is used instead.

For more information, see Sorting.

Facets

You can choose which facets to activate for this particular collection, how you want to call them, and which ones you want to display first.

Facets are primarily used to refine searches. For more information, see Faceting.

Merchandising

Only on Build or Premium plans.

You can either create a new merchandising rule for the collection, or edit a previously created rule.

To learn more, see Visual merchandising tool.

Turn off collection customization

To turn off customization for a specific collection, go to the bottom of the page and click Disable. The collection reverts to using the sort orders and facets defined in Collection pages.
