Using the Masonry theme. I am trying to add “sub-categories” to the drop down menus on each collection page. So, in a situation where I have multiple categories, IE Holidays, Sports..so on. It will be easier for the customer to sort by event or occasion and see those offerings.
I have attached a screenshot of the primary collection page that shows all offerings without sorting. In the “Category” dropdown box is where I would like the sorting options to display.
TIA
Hey @admin_722,
In order to do the requested changes requires to do the custom code in your theme file.
Could you please share the 4 digits collab code along with the store url in the p/m so that I can take a look and make the requested changes.
Thanks
Hii @admin_722
1) Go to Admin → Products → Collections → Search & Discovery app.
- In your Shopify Admin, go to Apps → click Customize your store.
- Search for “Shopify Search & Discovery” in the App Store.
- Vendor or custom metafields (if needed).
- Once installed, open the Search & Discovery app..
- Under Filters, enable Product type / Tags / Vendor / Custom filters.
- Tag your products with event/occasion tags (e.g.
Holiday, Sports, Birthday).
- In your Collection page, the Category dropdown will show those tags as filter options. Customers can then pick “Holiday” or “Sports” from the dropdown.
2) Create sub-category collections & link them
- Create a new collection for each sub-category (Holidays, Sports, etc.).
- Add products to them (manual or automated rules).
- Go to Navigation → Add a new menu called “Categories”.
- Add each sub-collection as a menu item.
- In Customize theme, replace or edit the “Category” dropdown to point to this menu.
