I have uploaded 151 images, created products with them all and put these into My Albums.
‘My Products’ (all products) show just 77 products – what happened to the other 74 products?
How do I access the products in ‘My Albums’ so that I can create more products?
Collections:
Your ‘Help’ pages state:
“Browse the site for something interesting.
“Once you’ve found a design that you love, click through to the product page and look for the ‘Add to collection’ icon (it’s a small icon, made out of three horizontal lines and a plus sign).”
This icon only appears on ‘Latest Products Created’ and not on anything else…
2. As a new store, it takes time for the site to index it and to populate it it with your products. Even seasoned pros have to wait for products to appear in their stores. It just takes time.
To create more products with your images, you need to first select a product from either the big blue button ‘create new product’ in your store or by visiting https://www.zazzle.com/custom/gifts
Once you have selected which product you want to make, click on it and press - customize this design.
You will able to access your images through the ‘my files’ tab in the design tool where if you open full image browser will take you to all of your images and albums. You can also get to your images via your member profile (not the forum member profile) and selecting My Images. You can’t create products from there - you need to go to https://www.zazzle.com/custom/gifts first.
4. To create collections, you can either go to your store backend and select the collections tab and there’s a huge + button or you can via the individual products by pressing the actions drop down and ’ add to a collection’
Suggestion: Once you’ve found the key pages you know you’ll go to consistently such as Images and Products, bookmark them. I have those links in my Bookmarks Toolbar at the top of my browser so I can get to them with a single, very quick, click.
“Once you’ve found a design that you love, click through to the product page and look for the ‘Add to collection’ icon (it’s a small icon, made out of three horizontal lines and a plus sign).”

following your link for ‘all products’ I now have the ‘actions’ tab to add my products to a collection. This adds an image to my collection but it is not consolidated there and disappears when I close the collection?
Do you mean it disappears from the product’s display and you can no longer go there, or do you mean it disappears from the collection listed on the display page? If it’s the latter, this is normal because the product is already displayed and there’s no reason to repeat it in the collection shown below it. If, however, it disappears from the actual collection, that’s a whole other ball of wax and shouldn’t be doing this.
@Turnu2 your collections are in a different area than your products in your store. Once you have added to a collection that you have created, make sure that it’s assigned to your store
