Pinning a product allows you to place a specific product at a fixed position in the search results, ensuring it stays in that spot regardless of other rules. The order of pinned products is flexible and can be customized as needed.

Limitations of Pin:

  • You can pin up to 20 products within the top 50 positions of the search results.
  • Using Pin disables Sort.
  • Products cannot be pinned and slotted simultaneously at the same position.

​
