How can I customize metafield filters for different collections?

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

A user wants to display different metafield filters for different collections on their Shopify store.

Example scenario:

  • Product A (blue shirt) appears in both Collection A and Collection B
  • Since it has a Size metafield, the Size filter automatically shows on both collections
  • Goal: Collection A should show the Size filter, but Collection B should not

Current limitation:
While the theme allows hiding filters for specific collections, the user needs different filter sets across collections rather than just hiding existing ones.

Suggested solution:
Another participant recommends trying the “AI Search & Product Filter” app, which can add filters based on product metafields and allows setting specific filters for each individual collection page.

I use metafields for filters on my site. Is there anyway to have one metafield filter set on collection A but not collection B? I know I can hide filters for a particular collection on my theme, the issue is I want some other filters on collection B.

For example Collection A should have filter ‘Size’ but collection B should not. A product called blue shirt is cross listed in collections A and B. Since it has the metafield Size, the size filter automatically shows in collection B.

Hi @Shawn17

Do you want to add specific filters for different collection pages on your site? You could try AI Search & Product Filter as they can add filters by product metafields and allow you to set specific filters for each collection.
