Choose Filter Criteria Based on Products

Decide what filters make sense for your product range:

• Size, color or material

• Brand

• Customer rating

• Availability (in stock, out of stock)

Tailor filters based on what helps your customers make decisions.

 Use Built-in Tools or Extensions

• Sticky or always visible for better access

• Multi-select filters for options like colors or sizes

• Auto-update results without reloading the page

• Show product counts for each filter value

• Preserve selected filters when navigating between pages

This creates a seamless browsing experience.

Test and Optimize

Check if your filters:
