# Introduction

> Depict Lite merchandises your existing Shopify collections — no theme rebuild, no code.

Depict Lite is Depict's native Shopify app. It works directly on the
collections you already have: you sort, pin, boost and bury products, preview
the result, and Depict writes the final order back into your Shopify
collections so it applies everywhere your theme shows them.

## What Lite gives you

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Collection merchandising" icon="rectangle-list" href="/shopify-lite/collections">
    Automatic sort orders (best selling, trending, price, stock, clicks and
    more) with pinned products on top, saved as versions you can publish and
    schedule.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Boost & Bury" icon="arrow-up-wide-short" href="/shopify-lite/boost-and-bury">
    Global and per-collection rules that push products up or down — by badge
    (bestseller, on sale, out of stock, new in, ...), by Shopify tag, or by
    collection membership.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Dashboard & A/B testing" icon="chart-line" href="/shopify-lite/dashboard">
    Orders and revenue over time, plus statistically tested collection A/B
    tests with an AI-written conclusion.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Multi-store" icon="store" href="/shopify-lite/multi-store">
    Connect several Shopify stores and replicate collection merchandising
    between them automatically.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## How it works

1. **Install the app** from the Shopify App Store. Depict ingests your
   catalog and 30 days of purchase history, and sets up its collection
   template in your theme — see [Onboarding](/shopify-lite/onboarding).
2. **Activate collections** you want Depict to manage. How many you can
   activate depends on your plan.
3. **Merchandise**: choose a sort order, pin your heroes, add boost/bury
   rules and content blocks.
4. **Publish**: the computed order is synced back into the Shopify collection
   itself, so it works with any theme and every sales channel.

## Lite, or Foundation?

Lite is built for Shopify merchants who want powerful collection
merchandising without changing their storefront. Depict **Foundation** is the
full platform — search, listings, recommendations and deeper analytics —
integrated into your storefront via SDKs or API. If you're unsure which fits,
