Adding filters
Shopify now provides native product filtering on collection pages through Shopify's Search & Discovery app, making it possible to filter products by availability, price, type, vendor, or options.
For more details on setting up the filters, you can view Shopify's documentation here.
Enable collection filters in the theme
- Inside the theme editor, navigate to a collection page.
- Select the Product grid section in the left sidebar.
- Activate Enable filters.
- Save your changes.
Can I enable or disable the filter options by collection?
You can. Because sections are now available on all pages, including collection pages, the product filter options can be enabled or disabled for each collection template you use. Select the Product grid section on any collection template to view the settings and to enable or disable filtering.
Additional tips
- Use metafields: Create custom metafields to filter by attributes like material or style.
- Keep it simple: Avoid overwhelming customers with too many filter options.
- Regularly review: Periodically check filter functionality after theme updates or changes.
Can I create my own custom filter options?
