Plugin Overview

GdCollections is a premium product aggregation and management plugin tailored specifically for BeikeShop, delivering functionality that rivals Shopify Collections. Breaking free from the constraints of traditional product categorization, it supports dual modes: Manual Collections and Automated Collections. With native support for multi-language SEO and automatic route mounting, this plugin empowers you to effortlessly build high-converting marketing landing pages, campaign promotional pages, and personalized product aggregation grids.

Key Features

1. Smart Categorization with Dual-Mode Flexibility

• Manual Collections: Search and add products precisely via keywords. Built with Vue.js, it supports smooth drag-and-drop sorting, giving you 100% control over the product display order on the storefront.

• Automated Collections: Dynamically filters products based on predefined rules. Whenever products or rules are updated, the backend automatically triggers a re-match, achieving hands-free, automated product categorization.

2. Powerful Rule-Based Matching Engine

• 7 Condition Dimensions: Supports precise or fuzzy filtering based on Product Title, Price, Tags, Brand, Category, Inventory Status, and Availability Status.

• Complex Logic Control: Perfectly supports AND (all conditions must be met) and OR (any condition can be met) logic combinations, making even the most complex promotional grouping a breeze.

3. Ultimate Storefront User Experience (UX)

• Native Route Mounting: Automatically mounts the main listing page (/collections) and the details page (/collections/{slug}).

• Advanced Filtering & Dynamic Sorting: Native storefront integration for price range filtering. Supports multi-dimensional sorting, including price (asc/desc), creation date (asc/desc), and alphabetical order (A-Z / Z-A).

• Standard Pagination: Gracefully handles high-volume product loads, ensuring optimal performance and fast first-contentful-paint (FCP) on the storefront.

4. Cross-Border SEO & Marketing Empowerment

• Multi-Language SEO Core: Allows independent configuration of SEO Titles, Descriptions, and Keywords for different languages and regions.

• Custom SEO Slugs: Enables full customization of URL Slugs to create semantic, human-readable URLs that are exceptionally friendly to Google and other search engines.

5. Zero-Layer Navigation Menu Integration

• Seamless Backend Hook: Deeply hooks into the native "Design → Menu" module. Within the link picker, operators can search for and select created collections with a single click, completely eliminating the need to manually copy and paste URLs.

Quick Start Guide
