How to use LimeSpot’s Collection Merchandising Sorting Options

Sorting options available to tailor your collections to align with different audiences' expectations.

Updated over a month ago

LimeSpot’s Smart Collections feature allows merchants to feature unique curated product collections using minimal manual effort.

In this article, we discuss sorting options available to tailor your collections to align with different audiences' expectations.

For general information on Smart Collections, please see this article.

When editing your Collection Variation, in the right-side pop-out, simply use the drop-down menu to identify and choose the criteria by which you’d like to sort the products in your collection.

Choose from the following options:

Inventory - High to Low or Low to High

Inventory references the number of products you have listed in your Shopify merchandise stock. Because this is entirely based on the inventory data per product LimeSpot receives from your Shopify store, any out-of-stock products that have “Continue selling when out of stock” selected will still register 0 inventory and be sorted accordingly.

Discount & Discount % - High to Low or Low to High

Discounts refer to the amount the product’s pricing has changed since being put “on sale.” It is calculated by taking the sales price and subtracting it from the original price.

Markup & Markup % - High to Low or Low to High

Markup refers to the selling price of the product minus the cost to your brand. For this sorting function to work, you must populate the “Product Cost” field in your Shopify store. Some might refer to this sorting element as “Profit,” but since so many other factors are involved in your brand’s actual profits, we chose to use the term “Markup.”

Price - High to Low or Low to High

Price is based on the listed price for your products.

Date Added - New to Old or New to Old

The Date sorting criteria is based on the date the product was added to your store.

Most Popular & Trending

Most Popular is based on several different KPIs within your store. To determine this, LimeSpot looks at the “Number of Purchases,” “Add-to-Carts,” “Views,” and “Clicks” (among other things). “Number of Purchases” is weighted more heavily than the other indicators.

Trending is similar to the Most Popular items, but it is dependent on the store's most recent traffic.
