I need to add/hide different filters to different collections based on metafields but currently stuck with all filters on every collection.

I thought they were releasing a change to this with winter edition but i am still not seeing how i can tweak the filters per collection ?

Help!

Hey @bingleyfencing this is Qasim a Sr.Shopify Developer.

In order to sort the products based on metafields required a custom coding. This feature will enable to add or hide product in filter/sorting.

If you need help to implement this please feel free to reach me out.

Thanks
