Create a collection of cars for a page

Last updated

A collection is a saved filter, such as "Work trucks" or "SUVs under $35k". Add it to a landing page and the page shows a grid of the matching cars that always reflects your current lot.

See your collections

  1. Open Collections in the sidebar, under Website.
  2. Each collection shows how many cars match it right now, and whether a page uses it. Not used on any page means no page shows it yet.
The Collections page listing four collections with their matching counts, Not used on any page or Used on 1 page tags, and Edit and Delete buttons

Create a collection

  1. Click New Collection +.
  2. Enter a Name (shown only to you), for example "Budget Friendly Under $15k". Shoppers never see it.
  3. Add a Description (optional) for your team.
  4. Choose a Condition and a Sort order: Newest year first, Price: low to high, Price: high to low, Lowest mileage first or Featured.
  5. Tick Manager's Specials only if you want only the cars you marked as specials.
  6. Tick any Makes, Models and Body styles. The number next to each is how many cars you have.
  7. Set a Min price ($), Max price ($), Max mileage, Year from and Year to, or a Keyword (optional) such as hybrid.
  8. Check the Preview on the right. It lists the matching cars in the order your website will show them.
  9. Click Create collection.
Creating a new collection: the name, description, condition and sort order fields, make and model checkboxes, and the Preview listing the matching cars

Sold and hidden cars never appear in a collection. As cars arrive and sell, the collection updates on its own.

Edit a collection

  1. Click Edit → next to the collection.
  2. Change the filters. The Preview updates as you go.
  3. Click Save collection.
Editing the Manager's Specials collection, with Manager's Specials only ticked and the Preview showing 6 vehicles

Show a collection on a page

Open the page in the Pages editor and add an Inventory collection block. Choose your collection in Collection, add a Heading (optional), and set Max vehicles to show (6 unless you change it). See Landing pages.

Delete a collection

  1. Click Delete next to the collection.
  2. Click Yes, delete to confirm, or Cancel.
Careful. Deleting can't be undone. A page that still uses the collection shows "No vehicles match this collection right now" until you change its block.

Who can do this

Owners and editors can create, edit and delete collections. Viewers can see them.

Common questions

Why does my collection show fewer cars on the page than in the preview?

The block on the page shows at most its Max vehicles to show. Raise that number in the block's settings.

Do I need to update a collection when cars sell?

No. A collection is a filter, not a fixed list, so it always shows the cars that match it today.

Can shoppers see the collection name?

No. The name is only for you. Use the block's Heading (optional) for the title shoppers see.
