but i am using porto shopify theme
Topic summary
- Main issue: adding AJAX sidebar filters (e.g., category, price) to a Shopify shop page. AJAX filters update results without a full page reload.
- Suggested approach: use Shopify’s free Search & Discovery app to manage filters and search suggestions, or enable built‑in theme filters if the theme supports them.
- Theme context: the requester is using the Porto theme (Porto 2.0) and wants filters specifically in the shop page sidebar.
- Resource provided: Porto theme documentation was shared, noting it includes a “collection filters” feature.
- Status/outcome: no step‑by‑step implementation for Porto 2.0 was provided in-thread. Guidance currently points to using the Search & Discovery app or following Porto’s documentation to enable collection/side filters.
- Resolution: unresolved/ongoing; key next step is checking and applying the Porto documentation for sidebar filter setup in Porto 2.0.
