Help with Filter set up

Shopify Discussion

Hi All

I need some help with the filters set up, i have managed to work out how to add custom filters but now i have an issue where there are filters appearing on collections that i don’t want showing.

Can anyone help and tell me how to remove certain filters from appearing on some of the collections as some of the filters are not relevant to the collection

Thanks

Collection templates and metafields. Easiest way to show things on some but not others.

Hi,

Hope this will help

Here are the practical ways to handle it.

  • Option 1: Use collection conditions

Make sure products in that collection don’t have values for filters you don’t want shown.

Example- Filter: Material and Collection: “Digital Products”

If even one product in that collection has a Material value the filter will appear.

  • Option 2: Use different templates for specific collections
  • Option 3: Use product metafields carefully
  • Option 4: Hide filters with theme logic

Hi,

Shopify filters are global, so they are available on all collections.

To reduce this:

Only add tags and metafields to products where the filter applies

Remove unused filters from Products. Filters

Per-collection filter control requires custom theme code.

Hope my answer helps.
