Purchase Orders vs Smart Categories

Easily create purchase orders to send to your suppliers and manage them all from one place with the Purchase Orders app. Simply select from your list of suppliers and choose which items you want to order. You can also add any other relevant information or instructions. The purchase order will be generated as a PDF, so you can conveniently send it. Once you receive your order, easily keep track of the items as they arrive and update the purchase order status to partially received. As you record incoming items, it’ll automatically sync with your store's inventory.

Stop sorting products by hand. Categories builds your store categories and collections for you: set a few rules once, in minutes, and every product that matches is added automatically. New products, price updates and stock changes are picked up for you, so your categories stay current without you touching them, and each one shows on your store's Category Page like any other, with no design work. Build a category from product name, price, brand, SKU, product options such as color or size, description, ribbon or the category a product is already in. Decide whether products must match all of your rules or any of them, and add or remove single items by SKU when one product needs an exception. Dynamic categories keep updating as your inventory, prices or options change; Fixed categories hold a snapshot for a time-boxed campaign. Use it to organize products into price-point pages, shop by brand categories, seasonal promos, a collection of everything carrying a Sale ribbon, or a page per color or size. An overview lists every product with the smart categories it belongs to, so checking your work takes a glance. Let your catalog categorize itself.
