  • Regularly audit or create smart/automated collections using tags and product logic (meaning: when you’ve added new products from the Faire integration, you need to be sure that proper tags and item types are added via the bulk product editor and THEN put those logic filters into the automated collections so everything is getting sorted properly in the Navigation for customers
