Why manual collection sort matters
Shoppers judge your store by what they see first. When a sold-out product sits at the top of a manual collection, you lose clicks before the customer finds something they can buy. curatify fixes this automatically.
Step 1: Install from the Shopify App Store
Search for curatify in the Shopify App Store and click Install. Grant permissions for products and inventory — curatify needs read_products, read_inventory, and write_products to reorder manual collections.
Under 2 minutes. No code, no theme edits, no developer required.
Step 2: Enable the app in Settings
Open Settings in the curatify admin and turn the app on. Choose your restore behavior:
- Original position — product returns where it was before selling out
- Top of collection — product moves to position 1 on restock
Run Sync sold-out products once if you already have sold-out items that need a backfill.
Step 3: Enable collections
Go to Collections and enable push-down sorting on the manual collections you want curatify to manage. Free plan: up to 5 collections and 50 tracked products. Growth and Pro raise those limits.
Important: curatify works with manual collections. If Shopify is sorting a collection by best sellers, price, or date, curatify shows it as blocked until the collection uses Manual sort in Shopify Admin.
Step 4: Verify it is working
Reduce inventory on a test variant (or use an existing sold-out product). Within seconds, curatify moves it to the bottom of enabled collections.
Check Activity in the curatify dashboard to see reorder, restore, and sync events with timestamps.
Optional: Pin hero products (Growth & Pro)
On Growth or Pro, open Pinning to lock featured SKUs at the top of a collection. Growth allows up to 5 pins per collection; Pro is unlimited. Sold-out pinned products still move to the bottom.
Works with every theme
curatify sorts collections server-side via the Shopify API. This includes Online Store 2.0 themes, legacy themes, and headless storefronts. Zero impact on page load speed.
