Dashboard sections
The Smart Collections Dashboard is made up of three sections: Top KPIs, Getting Started Checklist, and Recommended Features.
Top KPIs
The Top KPIs section displays two performance metrics from the last 7 days. You'll find these tiles at the top of the dashboard.
# of Sessions — The total number of Smart Collections sessions in the past 7 days
Sessions in Collections — The percentage of total sessions that occurred within collections in the past 7 days
Note: If Smart Collections isn't enabled yet, or if there hasn't been any recent activity, both metrics will show 0 or 0%. Data will appear once the feature is active and shoppers are browsing your collections.
Getting Started checklist
The Getting Started checklist helps you track your configuration progress across Smart Collections' major settings pages. The checklist includes:
Global Settings — Configure site-wide Smart Collections behavior
Collections — Set up and manage your Smart Collections
Template Editor — Customize how your collection pages look and feel
Campaigns — Create and manage collection-based campaigns
When you configure at least one setting on any of these pages, it's automatically marked complete with a green checkbox. There's no manual tracking needed — the checklist updates on its own.
Tip: Even after all items are marked complete, you can always return to any settings page to make adjustments.
Recommended Features
The Recommended Features section highlights Smart Collections capabilities you haven't fully set up yet, based on your current configuration. Each feature card includes:
"Configured" badge — A green badge appears on cards where you've already set up the feature
"New" badge — A blue badge highlights features released in the last 30 days so you never miss what's new
Smart positioning — New features always appear first (far left) in the list
Note: Recommended Feature cards remain visible even after a feature is configured. You can use them as quick links to revisit and adjust any feature at any time.
FAQs
Where can I find detailed Smart Collections reporting?
Click See Collections Reporting in the top right of the Smart Collections Dashboard to jump straight to your analytics. You can also find it anytime under Reports → Smart Collections in the left navigation.
Why is my Smart Collections KPI data showing 0 or 0%?
If your Smart Collections KPI data is showing 0 or 0%, it's likely because Smart Collections isn't enabled yet, or there hasn't been any session activity in the past 7 days. The # of Sessions and Sessions in Collections tiles only reflect data from the last 7 days, so both metrics will show zero for new merchants or stores where Smart Collections is inactive. Data will start populating as soon as the feature is live and shoppers are browsing your collections.
What is the Getting Started checklist tracking?
The Getting Started checklist tracks your configuration progress across four Smart Collections settings pages: Collections, Template Editor, Campaigns, and Global Settings. Each item is automatically marked complete with a green checkbox once you've configured at least one setting on that page — there's no manual action required.
Do Recommended Feature cards disappear after I configure a feature?
No — Recommended Feature cards stay visible even after you've configured a feature. Once a feature is set up, a "Configured" green badge appears on the card so you can easily tell what's active. The cards serve as permanent quick-access links so you can revisit and adjust any feature whenever you need to.
What does the "New" badge on a Recommended Feature card mean?
The blue "New" badge highlights features that were released in the last 30 days. Features with this badge are always positioned first (far left) in the Recommended Features section so they're easy to spot. After 30 days, the badge is removed automatically.
