Getting started with Awsm Collections
Awsm Collections turns the tedious parts of merchandising into something that runs itself. You build collections from rules ("anything that's a Dress, under $50, and in stock"), and the app keeps them up to date as your catalog and sales change. On top of that sits a layer of AI tools — an autonomous merchandiser, semantic search, suggested collections and more (on the Pro and Enterprise plans) — that suggest new collections, flag what needs fixing and re-rank collections by revenue, and with autopilot on can build and re-sync some collections for you. This guide is a quick tour of the dashboard so you know where everything lives.

1 The dashboard at a glance
When you open the app you land on the dashboard. At the top is the AI Merchandiser, then the table of your managed collections with their state, product count and last-updated time, and below that Suggested collections and Semantic search.
2 Your managed collections
Each row is a collection the app manages for you. The State shows where it is in its sync cycle, Products is how many products currently match, and the Actions column lets you Edit the rules; the ⋯ menu next to it has Update now, View on Shopify and Delete. New here? Use Create with AI or Add manually to make your first one.
3 The AI tools
The AI cards (Pro and Enterprise plans) each do one job: the AI Merchandiser audits every collection about once a week (or on demand with Run now) and reports what needs fixing, can run on autopilot to re-sync stale collections and accept high-confidence suggestions, can send you an optional weekly digest email, and tracks the sales of every collection the AI built (each one can be undone); Suggested collections proposes brand-new collections worth creating — including a "Trending Now" collection from your fastest-moving products; and Semantic search finds products by meaning.
4 Plans
The app has three plans — Starter ($299/month), Pro ($499/month) and Enterprise ($699/month), each with a 7-day free trial. Rule-based collections are on every plan; the AI toolkit unlocks on Pro and above.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to set anything up before building a collection?
No. Install, open the dashboard, and either build a collection from rules or let the AI suggest one. Your products and sales sync automatically in the background.
What's the difference between a "managed" collection and a normal Shopify collection?
A managed collection is defined by rules the app re-evaluates on a regular schedule and right after you save, and syncs to a real Shopify collection — so it stays correct as products come, go, sell out, or change.
Which features need the Pro or Enterprise plan?
The AI toolkit (AI Merchandiser and autopilot, suggested collections, AI facets, semantic search, "similar to product" rules and sorting, self-optimizing collections and Suggest products to add) is on the Pro and Enterprise plans. Rule-based collections work on every plan.
Will this change my existing Shopify collections?
The app only manages the collections it creates. Your other collections are untouched.
