Link Building Question: Is it possible to build a curated Collections link?

According to this post: https://help.zazzle.com/hc/en-us/articles/227832947-Tips-for-Selling-What-s-in-Your-Collections it is possible to build curated links for products.  It works.  I’ve done it on several different occasions.

What I REALLY want to be able to do now is to build a curated link that would display multiple collections on the landing page.  I don’t know that it is possible, and my attempts to do so have failed so far.  So I turn to all of you for help.  Does anyone know if this idea can work and if so how do I make it work?

Many thanks for your help!

Yes. For example: On your collections page, search “wedding”. This should show all of your collections that have wedding in their title, tags and/or description. If you have more than 20, change the “show” number so you include them all. The url, for some reason, includes “&view=private” so you need to remove it. Then copy the url link.

@Laura I wish to be able to create a link that leads a potential customer to collections that I have in multiple stores and perhaps someone else’s too.  Although what you shared is useful to me.  I’ll have to play around a bit with collection search in store, but I think what you shared is a good start.  But it’s not the end result I want.  It is better than where I was though. :slightly_smiling_face:  Thank you.

I see. Maybe you could use your member profile collection page, I have only one store so I don’t know for sure but I thought collections from multiple stores show up there.

You’re welcome, happy to help :slightly_smiling_face: 

Hi all,

I’ve circled back around to this topic…  So the link I posted above shows you how to build a curated link for individual products.  The products can be yours or someone else’s.  When the page loads they are all displayed on a single page.  I like this option because I don’t have to build a collection that contains other artist works and house there goods in my store (so to say)  But I love promoting other peoples products, and have reached a point in my website development where I want to be able to build a curated link for collections, not individual products.  I would like to be able to promote my collections but others as well and have all the different collections show on the landing page.  I have tinkered with the url to try and make it happen, but so far have failed.  No Z mod has popped in to say that it can’t be done, or that it can and here’s how…  I don’t know if anyone out there can figure out how to make this work, but if possible, it would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

I thought that maybe I could utilize a collections search link to accomplish what I desire…

But the url doesn’t change when you do a search from this page.  zazzle.com/collections

Does anyone know of another way to search collections that results in a url that one can link back to?

Thanks,

Is there a way to do a “Stepped” search?

When I searceh zazzle.com/collections/peacock (or any search term) I get 672,000 + hits (Same ones). So this is going to the Collections sort. Then you can search in the search bar for a term and the results are narrowed down. Can you program a search as 1. collections/2. term ? Maybe repeat the zazzle.com/collections/search/TERM; zazzle.com/collections/search/TERM?

I played around with all and part of the url you created and did not have any luck figuring something out.  Thanks for taking the time to try and help.
