How can I use tags as filter options in my website?

Topic summary

Goal: replicate a collection-page filter system that uses product tags as selectable options on a Shopify site.

Details provided:

  • The user found a site whose filters appear to be driven by product tags and exported its data. Example tags include: Character_Ganyu, Character_Hu Tao, Character_Jean, Character_Kazuha, Character_Tartaglia, Multiple 5-Star, Partner Account, phamtan, Server_Asia, Type_Normal Account, Weapon_Amos’ Bow, Weapon_Primordial Jade Winged-Spear.
  • When attempting to copy/use these tags, the user’s interface behaves unexpectedly, showing only a generic “more filter” option instead of distinct tag-based filters.

Key question:

  • Whether the observed filtering is achieved via a third-party app or Shopify’s built-in functionality, and how to implement it similarly.

Status:

  • No confirmed answers or implementation steps provided yet; the thread remains open with unresolved questions.
  • Screenshots are central to understanding the filter UI behavior and the discrepancy the user is facing.
