About this plugin
Create curated product collections in WooCommerce without affecting your existing product categories.
Ainbae Product Collections for WooCommerce adds a dedicated Collections taxonomy that works alongside Product Categories. Build seasonal collections, fashion collections, featured collections, brand collections, gift guides, and more.
Collection archive pages automatically inherit your theme’s WooCommerce category layout, ensuring a seamless shopping experience without additional configuration.
