Question for Zazzle Mods About Direct Products

Deb

SO if I want to have custom products for customers and keep them private for them I would use direct only links - (correct?) I mean these  do not show up in the MP?  That being said -  if I want to give a customer a link to a Category of products filled with thier custom design and Still keep it private,  how do I do this?  Without needing to give the customer 15-20 direct links to each product..  just one link to their private category or section.  Is this possible?  TIA

That's an interesting idea, put them in a category rather than a collection. Did you see this thread? https://community.zazzle.com/t5/tips-and-tricks/how-to-make-a-collection-direct-only/m-p/4490

It's not a perfect solution, but it's an interesting discussion with a lot of interesting tidbits of info, like if you put a direct only product into a public collection anyone who can see the collection can see the direct only product! 

And I agree, we need a better way to deal with this situation.

Thanks so much Cat! I appreciate the quick reply and the good info and yes we do need a better solution! 🙂 have a great day .. looks like we just might thaw out here in the midwest -  been solid ice on the ground for a week - first time its been above freezing  (granted only by 3 degrees  but I'll take it)

Ha! Mid-40s here in Denver and it feels like a heatwave! The forecast says we'll be in the low 70s by mid-week though! I'm not complaining about that, but the huge temperature swings are CRAZY!
