As part of the new Online Store 2.0 theme architecture, the Collection Page template can natively host a number of Filters, to allow your customers to easily browse through any given Collection Page template with the filter applied to sort the Shopify Products as preferred.
Step 1: Enabling Filters in Shopify Admin
To enable Filters, if preferred:
- Go to Shopify admin.
- Go to Online Store > Navigation.
- Scroll down to Collection and search filters.
- Click Add filters.
Within this Add filters menu, please select one or more filter options from the list of available filters to enable these for use within your theme. The native options available are:
- Availability
- Price
- Product type
- Vendor
Once happy with your final selection, select Done to save your product options. Then use the Save option to finalize the changes and update the filters on the Collection Page template.
Step 2: Customize Your Filters (optional)
You can also add a number of Custom filters, within the same Add filters menu from Step 1, using your Product options or with metafields.
For more detailed guidance on Custom filters, please consult the Shopify guide on Add storefront filtering.
Step 3: Enabling Filters in Your Theme
Once the above has been completed, the filters can be enabled by navigating to:
- Shopify admin.
- Online store > Themes > Customize.
- Select Collection pages from the page selector drop-down, and select the default template when prompted.
- Select Collection filtering from the left-hand settings panel, and select the Enable filtering option from the updated menu:
