Link Collections / Link Categories¶
To link collections of products to choices, go to Questions, select a multiple-choice question, then a choice and open the Choice settings.
Choose the weight of this choice:
Upvotes weighting - Sets a default weight of this choice. For example, if the weight is set to 2, all the upvoted products from a collection receive x2 (double) upvotes from this choice.

Upvotes - Lists everything linked to this choice: products, product variants, collections, tags, variants and vendors.
+ Add upvote type - Click to choose what to upvote. The menu offers Products, Product variants, Collections, Tags, Variants and Vendors. A new section then opens, where you pick the items from your Shopify catalog. For individual products and variants, see Link Products.

Upvoted collections will be listed in the upvoted section.
Note
You can upvote entire collections, and also recommend a whole collection to the customer.

Exclude - Lists everything excluded from this choice: products, product variants, collections, tags, variants and vendors.
