There is a large video link at the top and four images below, showing products from the advertiser. These four products are chosen by the advertiser however when the consumer clicks the gallery up to fifty products can be seen. When the user clicks on any of the products then he is directed to the official webpage or the app of the advertiser.
According to official Facebook News Page
“Collection increases the likelihood of discovery and a purchase by featuring a primary video or image above relevant product images. Clicking on the ad leads a person to an immersive, fast-loading shopping experience on Facebook that can showcase up to 50 products at a time. Tapping on a product will take the most interested people to a product detail page on a business’ website or app to purchase.”
