Just like everyone else on the forums, my categories are having issues, not just in the dashboard, but on the customer viewing side as well. So, I went to my Pinterest and clicked on one of my posts to see if the product that wasn't showing on my dash or in my shop would still show up via Pinterest or give a 404 error message.
What I found was not good. Yes, my product showed up. But, rather than show the other products that are part of my collection, below showed "other designs you might like" by other designers and then a big block of "editor's pick". So any chance of someone liking my design and wanting to see more of the collection is gone. The only option is directing customers to other shop designs. Below that block is the "transfer design to a product" section, but what customer is going to keep scrolling beyond a big block of other designs?
I mean, why are we creating collections if Zazzle is going to discount our hard work of designing and driving traffic to our designs only to have customers driven to other shops? It seems counterintuitive and diminishes individual shops. Then again, so was having Google ads on the site driving traffic off the site to "similar products".
