How do you set up the Collection App Block in Fynq?

After installing Fynq, one of the key steps is enabling the Collection App Block. This step can feel technical for many store owners, but once it is done correctly, Fynq starts working beyond search pages.
This article explains the setup in a clear and simple way so you can complete it without confusion.
Why do you need the Collection App Block?
The Collection App Block allows Fynq to work on collection pages in addition to search result pages. Without this block, Fynq features remain limited to search only.
Once enabled, you can also place Fynq powered collection sections on other pages such as the homepage using the theme editor.
Before you begin
Before setting up the Collection App Block, make sure the App Embed is enabled.
The App Embed, Product Recommendation App Block, and Collection App Block together activate Fynq on your store.
If the App Embed is not enabled, the Collection App Block will not work properly.
