How to Use the Visual Merchandiser Shopify App

Visual Merchandiser is a powerful tool designed to improve your Shopify store's product organization, allowing you to easily arrange products in your collections in the way that you desire. This guide will provide step-by-step instructions on how to use the app.

Selecting a Collection

After landing on the app page, start by choosing the collection you want to organize. To do this, select "Choose a collection" and then click on your desired collection.

Drag and Drop Functionality

Visual Merchandiser utilizes a drag-and-drop interface for easy product merchandising. Click on any product item and drag it to the position you prefer.

To select multiple products, hold the shift key to select all products between the first and the last selected. Alternatively, use the option key to select multiple products at random. Once your desired products are selected, you can drag and drop them into your desired position.

Quick Actions

When one or more products have been selected, a Quick Actions button will appear in the header toolbar. Click this button to see options for moving your product(s) to the top, bottom, a specific position, or a page within the collection.

Display Settings

By default, your Product Grid Settings will display 8 products per page and 6 products per row. To adjust these settings, click on the Display Settings button from the toolbar. This will open the Product Grid tab.

We currently use pagination for collections to ensure quick loading times. To see more products per page, adjust the products per page setting up to a maximum of 250 products per page.

By default, each product item will only display its featured image and title. However, you can customize this in the Display Settings. Options include toggling on the Price, Vendor, Type, and Inventory.

Users with an Advanced Plan also have access to Location inventory.

Search Functionality (Legacy & Advanced Plans Only)

Legacy and Advanced Plan users can make use of our product search feature. Once you've selected a collection, click on the search button in the header toolbar. You can then search for products within your chosen collection by title, tag, or SKU. After entering your search term, press the enter/return key or click the search button. Select the product(s) you want and choose to move them to the top, bottom, specific position, or page of the collection.

Plan Upgrades

To upgrade to the Basic or Advanced Plan, click on the settings icon and choose "Plan." Legacy plan users will need to uninstall the app and reinstall it to upgrade. Please note that once you upgrade from the legacy plan, you will not be able to revert back to it. While you may stay on the legacy plan as long as you like, we strongly recommend upgrading to enjoy new and exciting updates coming to the advanced plan in the near future.

By following these steps, you will be able to fully utilize Visual Merchandiser's features to optimize your Shopify store's product display and organization.
