What This App Does Not Do
Read this before you buy. Everything below is something the app deliberately leaves to another app or to you.
One collection per product.
A product in two campaigns needs a different tool - tags, for instance.
It does not price or discount.
A collection is a label; pricelists do the pricing.
No website display.
Collections are back-office data unless another module publishes them.
No sales analysis on its own.
The Sales bridge adds the group-by to the sales report.
