Overview
Collections and Sets are the Store Manager terms for Shoppable Lookbooks.
Collections
This term refers to the complete lookbook. For example, Resort Wear, 2008.
You may have more than one collection displayed, or live, on your site at one time.
Sets
This term refers to the images that make-up a collection.
You can have an unlimited amount of images within each collection.
Images
Just as with Product Images, collection and set images need to be cropped, or re-sized before uploading and processing.
Before uploading, check with either the Project Manager or Support for the correct size to crop your images to.
How do I add a new Collection?
After logging into Store Manager, go to Products>Collections>Add.
Name the collection – i.e., Resort Wear, Spring 2008. This is the name that will appear on the site – so be careful with spelling and typos!
The default in Store Manager is to make the collection available. If you’re not ready for it to be live, simply uncheck the available box.
Upload the image that you would like to represent your collection. This is the image that will be displayed on the collections landing page on your site.
Be sure to check the “available” box!
How do I add Sets to a Collection?
Go to Products>Sets.
From the drop down menu, select the Collection you’d like to update.
If you have any images in the collection already, the page will refresh and display the images already in the Collection.
Click “add”.
Enter a name/description for the image. You may choose to itemize the products in the image here. This name will appear on the site, under the large set image – so be careful with spelling and typos!
Check which collection the image belongs to. You can choose more than one collection.
Upload the image.
Be sure to check the “available” box!
In the Products area, select the correct department or category from the dropdown. (The default is set to display the department, to change to categories, simply click the radio button.)
Below the dropdown you’ll see all the products for the department/category displayed. Simply check the products you’d like associated with the image.
When you’re done selecting products, click “add”.
The associated products will now display on the screen.
How do I upload an image for both Collections and Sets?
You upload an image for Collections & Sets just like you upload product images. Select “upload image”; search for it on your computer by selecting browse; then select “upload” when you’ve found the image.
Just as with product images, Store Manager will automatically create the Thumbnail image from the main image. You only need to upload the default, however, you can upload a thumbnail image as well.
Do I need to process my Collections/Sets images?
Yes! Just as with product images, you must process all collections/sets images. This is done from the same place that you process product images – Products>Process Images>Process.
Can I control the order the Collections appear on my site?
Yes! To change the order the Collections will appear, simply click anywhere on the collection you’d like to move and drag and drop it to the correct order.
Be sure to hit “save order” when you’re done!
Can I delete a Collection?
No. However, you can make it “unavailable” by unchecking the available box.
Can I control the order the Sets appear within a Collection?
Yes! To change the order the sets appear, simply click anywhere on the set you’d like to move and drag and drop it to the correct order.
Be sure to hit “save order” when you’re done!
Can I delete a Set?
Yes! Simply click on the “delete” button beside the set information.
Rather than delete an image, you can also make it “unavailable” by unchecking the available box.
Can I control the order the products I associate with a set appear?
Yes! Just as with controlling the order of Collections and Sets, you simply drag and drop the products in the order you’d like them displayed.
Be sure to hit “save” when you’re done.
Can I remove a product from a set?
Yes! Simply click on delete next to the product.
