Understand collection sources

Updated Nov 8, 2026

A Shopify collection can receive products from several sources, such as Shopify rules, a manual selection in Shopify, or an app. Ultimate Collection Manager supplies products through its own source.

What Ouiteo updates

In Membership, choose which products Ultimate Collection Manager supplies. When the collection runs, it updates its own source and leaves other sources unchanged.

If a product stops matching Ouiteo's selection, it is removed from Ouiteo's source. It can remain in the collection if another source still includes it.

See Choose products for a collection to select products using a filter, a manual selection or available segments.

Read the Source badges

Open an existing collection and look under Membership. The Source badges show where its products come from.

Badge What it describes
Ultimate Collection Manager Products supplied by this app.
Shopify rules A Shopify source with conditions.
Manual selection A Shopify source with explicit selections.
Shopify rules + selections A Shopify source with both conditions and explicit selections.
Another app's name A source belonging to that app.
Unknown source A source the app cannot identify.

The Manual selection badge describes a source in Shopify. Ouiteo's Manual option is how you choose the products its own source supplies.

Product limits and sorting

Product limit caps the number of products Ultimate Collection Manager supplies. Products from other sources can make the whole collection larger than that limit.

Sorting applies to the whole collection, including products supplied by other sources.
