This card can be used only when you have created a catalog in Facebook, created the product sets and connected the catalog to Gallabox.

The Ask Collection Option Card has the field for Header Text, Question Text, Catalog, Collection, Validation Error Message, Action on Invalid Response, and Store response in the variable. Let's see what goes into creating the **Collection option.**

### Header Type

You can add a text something like "Welcome to our Catalog" or "Our Bestsellers" depending on the collection you want to share with people.
