Goal: Add a native range slider filter based on a product metafield (decimal 0.00–9.99) in Dawn V8 without third‑party apps. The metafield exists and a filter can be added, but implementing a slider UI that actually filters by min/max is the challenge.
Current state and constraints:
Multiple users report the same need and ask if it’s possible natively.
A participant cites Shopify’s filtering documentation indicating collections cannot be natively queried by min/max on metafields (only price supports range queries).
Implications:
A true metafield range slider that filters results server-side is not currently supported by Shopify out of the box.
Workarounds are to build a custom app or install an existing filter app from the Shopify App Store.
Outcome/status: No native solution or code provided. The discussion remains open, pending Shopify support for metafield range filtering.

I’m seeking guidance on implementing a slider filter utilising metafields or any suitable approach. Each of my products is associated with a distinct identifier within the range of 0.00 to 9.99. I’ve successfully configured metafields using decimal values and can add the filter but I’m currently encountering a challenge in implementing a slider filter. My goal is to achieve this functionality within the platform itself, without relying on third-party applications. Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
I am also here with the exact same question. I would rather not have to do this with an app. The main sticking point is being able to natively query the collection by min and/or max value for a metafield, in the same way the price is queried. From looking at the documentation it is not yet supported by shopify, so it looks like currently the only way of achieving this is by creating a custom app, or installing a pre-existing app from the app store.
