How do you create a smart collection for a sub-collection in Shopify?
Asked 4 years ago
Hello, I have been manually creating the sub-collections for my e-commerce store. I only recently learned that I could set it to automatically add a product to the collection if it falls within the criteria/conditional settings. But I don't know where to find these settings?
