Option 1: pinned products
In a sort, add products under Pinned products. They are placed at the top of every collection covered by the sort, in the order you choose, before the products sorted by criteria.
Use it for a campaign, a launch or a hero product. Remove the pin when the campaign ends; the product goes back to its place in the automatic order at the next run.
Option 2: locked positions
Locked positions keeps the first N products of each collection exactly where they are. Set it to 3, arrange the first three products by hand in Shopify, and MDPositions will only sort from the fourth position on.
Use it when the top of a collection is curated by hand and you only want to automate the rest.
How they fit together
For each collection, MDPositions builds the order in this sequence:
- Locked positions, untouched.
- Pinned products, in your order.
- Products of boosted vendors (Pro), sorted by your criteria.
- All other products, sorted by your criteria.
