# Collection Priority

When a product belongs to multiple collections with active discount rules, **Pareto automatically applies the rule with the highest priority**.
This prevents conflicting discounts and ensures your store displays the most relevant offer to each customer.

### How Collection Priority Works
* Each **collection-based rule** is assigned a **priority number**.
* **Higher numbers = higher priority.**
For example, **priority 2** is applied before **priority 1**.
* When a product appears in more than one discounted collection:
    * Pareto checks all active rules for that product.
    * The system automatically applies the **highest-priority discount** (within the same offer type).
    * However, if a product only qualifies for a lower-priority rule (e.g., priority 1), that discount will still apply.
* If two rules have the **same priority number**, Pareto will apply the **most recently created** rule.

### Default Priority Logic in Pareto
If multiple discount rules are applicable at the same time, Pareto follows this default hierarchy:
**Variant → Product → Group → Collection → All**
Within each level, rules are prioritized by **Target Customer** first.
For example:
* A **variant rule for logged-in customers with tag** takes precedence over one for **all visitors**.
* **Collection Priority** is only applied when rules have the **same Target Customer** type.
(e.g., Between two “All visitors” rules, the collection priority number determines which one wins.)
* If a rule targets **logged-in customers with tag**, it will still override an **all visitors** rule — even if the “all visitors” rule has a higher collection priority number.

### Set Collection Priority
1. Go to **Pareto – Quantity Breaks & Bundles** in your Shopify admin.
2. From the left sidebar, click **Offers**.

1. At the top-right of the page, click **Collection Priority**.The number shown here indicates how many collection-based campaigns can have priorities assigned.
2. In the **Priority** column:
    * Enter a number (e.g., **1, 2, 3…**) or **drag collections** to reorder them.
    * **1 = Lowest priority**
    * **Higher number = Higher priority**
3. Click **Save** to apply changes.

### Example
| Collection | Discount | Priority | Result |
| ---- |
| Holiday Deals | 20% off | 1 | ✅ Applied if “VIP Members” is not applicable |
| VIP Members | 10% off | 2 | ✅ Applied (higher priority) |
If a product belongs to both **“Holiday Deals”** and **“VIP Members”**, the **10% VIP Members** discount applies because it has the higher priority (**2**).
If the VIP Members rule doesn’t apply, the **Holiday Deals** discount (priority 1) will still activate.
⚠️ **Note:** Collection Priority is only available for **collection-based product discounts**.
It is **not applicable** to:
* **Order discounts** (which always apply to the entire order)
* **Bundle** or **Add-on** discounts (which do not have target collections option)
### Best Practices
* Use **priority 1** for broad or fallback campaigns (e.g., store-wide or seasonal offers).
* Assign **higher numbers** (2, 3, 4…) for more specific or overlapping collections.
* **Avoid assigning the same priority to multiple collections** — it helps keep your campaign logic clear and predictable.
* Review your priorities before major sale events to ensure rules apply as expected.

### Troubleshooting
**Q: My discount didn’t apply as expected.**
Check if the product belongs to multiple collections. Adjust the **priority number** of your preferred campaign so it takes effect first.
**Q: What happens if two collections share the same priority?**
Pareto will apply the **most recently created rule**. To keep results consistent, assign **unique priority values** whenever possible.
