Collections Creation Guide
Collections are sold to customers as individual purchases or are included in subscriptions. They are comprised of media assets, such as videos, audio and documents. Collections require metadata, images, description and pricing. While optional, trailers and sizzle reels are also a great selling tool for collections.
Creating Collections
From your Dashboard, select “Collections” from the left-hand menu.
Collections Type and Accessibility
Type: Select if you are building a Standard or Bundled Collection.
A Standard Collection is comprised of either single digital assets or multiple digital assets. Most collections are Standard Bundles. Create a standard collection by selecting " +New Collection".
A Bundled Collection is comprised of multiple Standard Collections. You will use this feature to bundle similar collections together to sell as a single collection. Create a bundled collection by selecting " +New Bundle".
* Subscriptions are created in the Subscription Center and not on a collections page. Learn more about creating and managing subscriptions in the Subscription Center.
