Enabling Filters
To switch on product filtering for your store:
- From Store management, go to Settings → Product filters.
- Click Enable Filters:
That’s it! The store enables a list of filters that are most relevant to your catalog based on the information about your products like price, stock level, category, options and attributes:
Adding New Filters
As you enable product filtering, filters that are most useful for searching through your catalog are created automatically. The more products match the filtering criterion, the higher it is placed in the list. Still, you may want to add some extra filtering options.
To add a new filter to your store:
- From Store management, go to Settings → Product filters.
- Click Add Filter Criteria. Here you may find some filters that match fewer products but can also be useful to your buyers.
- Click Add, then enable the newly added filter:
In case no filters are suggested on this page, it means that your store could not find more filtering criteria for your items. So, you will need to create them by adding new product attributes or options.
Let’s say, you sell books on different covers, but haven’t specified their types yet. To create a Cover type filter, you need to:
- From Store management, go to Settings → Product Types.
- Create a product attribute that your products will share:
3. Navigate to your Catalog and click Edit on the product, which should be filtered by this attribute.
4. Open the Attributes tab and fill in values to the attribute field for each product.
5. Save the changes:
6. Proceed to Settings → Product Filters and click Add Filter Criteria.
7. Add the created attribute as a new filter:
A list of checkboxes with the attribute values is now available to your customers in the filters panel.
