How can I add more filters to the Dawn theme page?

Topic summary

Goal: Add more on-page filters to the Dawn theme for a “Perfume family” attribute (e.g., floral, fresh, gourmand, spicy), beyond what the current Shopify Search & Filter app supports.

Context: These categories are currently set up within collections, but the store owner wants them available as filter options to improve product discovery.

Suggestion: Use Shopify metafields to store a structured “Perfume family” value per product and surface it as a filter. Metafields are custom data fields attached to products/collections that themes or apps can use for filtering. One responder notes this may require a developer’s assistance.

Status: The store owner will explore the metafields approach. No implementation details or confirmed solution yet; discussion remains open, with next steps being to test metafields and determine feasibility within Dawn or with app support.

I think you can solve this by using metafileds, I’m not 100% sure but I think you will also need assistance of developer for this
