A single product usually belongs in more than one collection. A popular summer shirt might fit Bestsellers, Summer Essentials, and Gifts Under $50 all at once — and every collection it sits in is another way for a customer to stumble onto it. But adding one product to several manual collections in Shopify means visiting each collection separately.
Why it's more work than it sounds
Shopify organizes membership from the collection's side, so adding one product to three manual collections means opening all three and adding it to each. Multiply that across a few products you want well-merchandised and it adds up quickly.

Why more entry points sell more
The more relevant places a product appears, the more chances a customer has to find it. Cross-listing your strong products into every collection they genuinely fit is good merchandising — and when it's a single instruction instead of a collection-by-collection chore, you'll actually keep your catalog cross-merchandised.
