Collection Health Score

One score from 0 to 100 for every active collection, built from seven signals, so you know which category pages need attention first, and why.

What the Score Tells You

A store can have hundreds of collections, and nobody can inspect them all by hand. The Collection Health Score answers one question for each of them: how well is this page set up to sell right now?

Every active collection gets a score from 0 to 100 and one of three grades: healthy, needs attention or at risk. The list starts with the lowest scores, so the collections that need work come first.

  • Top-of-Page Availability

  • Pin Discipline

  • Stock Health

  • Sort Freshness

A collection's score with the signals behind it. The two weak signals are what the page recommends fixing first.

The Seven Signals

Top-of-Page Availability
How many of the first products on the page are fully available: in stock and not short of sizes.
Stock Health
The share of the collection's products that are in stock. An empty collection scores zero here.
Traffic Trend
This week's visits to the collection compared with last week's.
Sort Freshness
The time since the collection was last sorted, measured against its own sort frequency.
Product Diversity
Whether a single brand takes up too much of the assortment.
Pin Discipline
The share of the collection's products that are pinned.
Feed Freshness
The time since the last successful product feed of your account.

How the Score Is Put Together

Each signal is scored from 0 to 100, and the signals are then combined into the collection's score. They do not count equally: availability at the top of the page and stock health weigh the most.

A signal that cannot be judged fairly is left out, and the score is calculated from the others. A collection without enough traffic history has no traffic trend. Brand pages and small collections are not judged on brand variety.

Evidence and a Recommended Action

A number alone does not tell you what to do. Every signal comes with its evidence, such as how many of the first products are fully available or how long ago the collection was last sorted. A weak signal also comes with a recommendation:

  • Replenish or demote out-of-stock and size-broken products near the top.
  • Review pins so manual positions do not block better-performing products.
  • Cap repetition from a single brand to keep the shelf varied.
  • Check the sort schedule; the collection may be overdue for re-sorting.

Where You See It

The Collection Health page lists every active collection with its score, its signals and the issue to focus on, together with the average score of your account. You can search the list and filter it by grade.

The score also appears on each collection's sort page with its number of open issues, right where you pin products and change the sorting rule.

What It Does Not Measure

The score describes the condition of the shelf, not its sales. Conversion rate and revenue are not part of it. It also changes nothing by itself: it reports and recommends, and your team decides what to do.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which collections get a health score?

Every active collection of your account. The list starts with the lowest scores, so the collections that need attention come first.

Does the health score change how my products are sorted?

No. The score is a report. It shows what is wrong and recommends an action, and you decide what to change.

Does the health score measure sales?

No. It measures the condition of the shelf: availability, stock, variety, pins, how recently the collection was sorted, how fresh the product data is and how its traffic is developing.

Why do some collections show fewer than seven signals?

A signal that cannot be judged fairly is left out. A collection without enough traffic history has no traffic trend, and brand pages and small collections are not judged on brand variety.
