Filter settings
Product filters are displayed in the storefront, and each filter can have different looks (layouts) depending on how you and your visitors would like the search to be presented.
P.S. We describe the Premium plan unless otherwise specified.
Each “main filter” is displayed in a lighter green color, and its name is enclosed in “-” characters, such as “- Category -”, “- Brand -”, and “- Stock status -”.
The darker green-colored filters are filters for variants:
On the right-hand side of the filter page, there’s a settings 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 by default. Unless a specific filter is set to OFF (then it’s dark red).
Collapse all filters = If ON, all filters are collapsed / closed by default. Unless a specific filter is set to OFF, then that filter is opened.
Search fields in all sections = If ON, all filters supporting an individual search field display it by 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 (e.g., 8, 5, 2 hits). Unless a specific filter is set to OFF, then that filter uses its specified sort order.
Each filter has its own unique filter settings. Each filter can be set to ON, OFF, or AUTO. If set to 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 the number of hits matching the filter, or by sort order. For example, if colors are manually sorted as Green, Red, Blue and you always want to display colors in that order, set this setting to OFF on the filter “Color”
Layout defines what a filter looks like. Most filters can be displayed as:
Checkboxes. Only displayed in the filters.
External images. Thumbnail images of the product or any external image that’s not the product. For example, 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. They are displayed both on the product + the filters.
Color. Displayed as a color dot on the product + the filters.
Button. Displayed as a button with text on the product + the filters.
We suggest the following layout types for an optimal look:
Brand and Size should be displayed as a Button or External image.
All types of Patterns should be displayed as an 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 visually fixed and therefore lack a few options. They cannot be searched, and the layout always displays checkboxes.
