A smart collection is a grouping of products defined by simple rules set by shop owners. A shop owner creates a smart collection and then sets the rules that determine which products go in them. haravan automatically changes the contents of smart collections based on their rules.

Smart Collections also use collects to connect a product to that smart collection. These collects, however, are managed by the rules of the smart collection and therefore cannot be added or removed through the API.

Haravan's collections — both smart collections and custom collections — are typically displayed to customers so that customers can select them and then view only the products in the collection they selected. They're typically used to break down the catalog of products into categories and make the shop easier to browse.

In addition to smart collections, there are also custom collections, which are groupings of products defined by the shop owner.
