How to Create a New Collection for Disposable Vapes in Buddi

This guide explains how to create a Collection in Buddi using the 'Individually Select' function.

On the other hand, Collections built with 'Select Using Logic' do not require individual product selection since the process is automated based on pre-defined parameters. For more info, see this article: Select Using Logic vs. Individually Select.

In the Inventory Type dropdown, select either 'Store' or 'Chain' to filter products by a specific location or across all locations.

Example: In this demo, we are selecting Store > "Buddi Demo Store" (a specific store).

Suppose the chain has two stores, both ordering the same inventory. While you could select 'Chain' to view inventory across all locations, choosing a single store simplifies the product selection process.

Why select Store instead of Chain?

  • Selecting 'Chain' means you would need to checkmark every disposable vape twice (once for each store), which is unnecessary. By selecting a single store, you streamline the product selection process.

  • Note: Since the main Collection page already indicates that the Collection will 'Apply to All Locations', selecting Store here does not limit the Collection's availability. The selected products will still show on all locations as long as it's in stock.
