Enable Smart Collections
The Smart Collections feature in Rebuy allows you to customize how customers view and interact with products within collections on your store.
By using the toggle switch, you can easily enable or disable the Smart Collections feature. While you also have the option to enable Smart Collections via the reporting dashboard, this toggle switch is the primary method for turning the feature on or off.
Note: Disabling Smart Collections using the toggle switch will immediately impact how collections are displayed on your site.

Enabling Smart Collections Product Ratings will display the average star rating and the total number of reviews for products on the collection page, provided those ratings exist for the products.
