Filter settings
Filters are display in storefront and each filter can have different looks (layout) depending on how you and your visitors would like the search to be presented.
P.S. We describe the Premium plan unless otherwise stated.
Each “main filter” are displayed in a lighter green color, and it’s name is enclosed in “-” chars. Such as “- Category -”, “- Brand -” and “-Stock status -”.
The darker green colored filters are filters for variants:
On the right hand side on the filter page there’s an setting-icon that affects all settings:
Here you may show and even hide all filters completely.
By selecting “Hide filters > Only show search results” all filters are completely inactive.
By selecting “Show filters > In a filter menu”
If filters are shown:
Enable all filters = If ON: All filters (both the main filters and variant filters) are enabled as default, unless a specific filter is set to OFF (then it’s dark red)
Collapse all filters = If ON: All filters are collapsed / closed as default, unless a specific filter is set to OFF, then that filter is opened
Search fields in all sections = If ON: All filers supporting an individual search field displays it as default, unless a specific filter is set to OFF, then that filter doesn’t display a search field
Sort all filters by results count = If ON: All filters are sorted by the number of product hits matching that filter (ie. 8,5,2 hits), unless a specific filter is set to OFF, then that filter uses it’s specified sort order
Each filter has it’s own unique filter settings. Each filter can be set to ON, OFF or AUTO. If AUTO then the default setting in All filter settings decides how the filter is displayed.
Enabled = Show or hide a filter
Collapse filter = Open or close a filter
Search field = Display a search field for the filter
Sort filter by results count = Sort by number of hits matching the filter, or by sort order. Ie. if Colors are manually sorted in Green, Red, Blue and I always want to display colors in that order, set this setting to OFF on filter “Color”
Layout defines how a filter looks like. Most filters can be displayed as:
Checkboxes in the storefront filters
External images are thumbnail images of the product, or could be any external image that’s not the product. Ie. for products made out of wood you might want an image that displays the wood type, even though the product doesn’t look like that.
Displayed both on the product + the filters.
Color becomes a color dot on the product + the filters.
Button becomes a button with text on the product + the filters.
We suggest the following layout types for an optimal look:
Brand, Size should be displayed as Button or External image.
All type of Patterns should be displayed as External image.
Color should be displayed as Color.
Stock status should be displayed as Color or Checkboxes (then the stock status color-icon disappears).
Category settings are a bit unique and misses a few settings. They can not be searched and the layout are always checkboxes.
P.S. We describe the Premium plan unless otherwise stated.
