What is Shopify Collective?

Shopify Collective is a feature that enables Shopify merchants to connect and sell each other's products. As a retailer, you can import complementary products from suppliers and begin selling them immediately—without the need to manage inventory or make upfront commitments. Conversely, as a supplier, you gain the opportunity to be discovered by retailers, set up customized price lists, and share your products for others to sell.​


Benefits of Integrating Rebuy with Shopify Collective

  • Personalized Upselling: Use Rebuy's widgets to showcase imported products, offering personalized recommendations to your customers.

  • Increased AOV: By promoting complementary products from partner stores, you can encourage customers to add more items to their carts.

  • Seamless Integration: Rebuy works in tandem with Shopify Collective, ensuring a smooth experience for both retailers and suppliers.


Integration Installation

Set Up Shopify Collective

Before integrating with Rebuy, ensure that Shopify Collective is properly configured:​

  • For Suppliers: Set up your product listings and share them through Shopify Collective price lists.

  • For Retailers: Import products from suppliers and add them to your store.

Detailed instructions can be found in Shopify's documentation:

It’s possible for your business to operate both as a supplier and a retailer, maximizing your flexibility and reach within the Shopify ecosystem.

Configure Rebuy

After setting up Shopify Collective:

  1. Choose Your Widget

    1. Decide which Rebuy widget to implement in your store – select the widget that best fits your marketing strategy and customer engagement goals.​

  2. Create Data Source Rules

    1. Establish rules that determine which products are showcased:​

      • Collection-Based Rules: Display products from specific vendors you've partnered with through Shopify Collective. Ensure your collections in Shopify are uniquely named for this method.

      • Product-Specific Rules: Manually select individual products to feature, offering granular control over recommendations.

  3. Install

    1. Once your Data Source rules and widget are set up, install them to start displaying your partner's products.​

You must set up your collections in Shopify to something unique if you want to use the collections based rules.


Troubleshooting

Why aren't my Shopify Collective products or collections appearing in Rebuy's data source rules?

This issue may be due to synchronization problems between Shopify and Rebuy. To resolve:​

  1. Initiate a Resync with Rebuy: In Rebuy, navigate to the settings and status section to perform a resync.

  2. Verify Product Visibility: Ensure that the imported products are active and visible in your Shopify store.

  3. Check Collection Naming: Confirm that your Shopify collections have unique names, which is essential for collection-based rules.​

If issues persist, contact Rebuy Support for assistance.
