−	A collection is where you bring together all similar products and present them together so that your customers can easily browse and find exactly the right products for them to buy. Collections are not hierarchical, but they can easily be presented that way using menus. Most of our themes include drop down menus, and also most allow you to have a main collection page for each "Category" that then displays your "Sub Categories". [[Check your theme guide~~\|Spiffy Stores Themes~~]] for information on "Featured Collections".	+	A collection is where you bring together all similar products and present them together so that your customers can easily browse and find exactly the right products for them to buy.

	In December 2013, we introduced collection images, where you can upload an image for your collection. This functionality is theme dependent, and themes show your collection images in different ways. Some use the collection images as a slideshow, and others only use them when displaying a list of your collections.

	If you want to group together a number of products and to have complete control over which products are included, then a '''Standard collection''' is probably what you are looking for. You can pick any number of products to be included in the collection when you create it, and any time you need to make a change you just need to come back to the '''Collections tab''' and add or remove whichever products you want.

 * On Sale: this is a great way of easily putting products on sale and making sure your customers know about it. First, create a super collection with a single criteria, "Original price is greater than 0". Then, for any product you want to put on sale, just change the product price to whatever you want and set a value in the Original price field.
 * Build brand and category collections: Some products may belong to brands and categories that are more complex than can be easily dealt with using just Vendor and Type values. Arbitrary tags can be added to products and these can be used to construct super collections.

 Here are some other ideas for standard collections that you could put together:
-* Staff Favourites: each of your staff members can select a few products that they think are ''particularly'' cool to showcase for your customers.
