How can you create a page that will take a variable to determine what to display?

I run an online comic book and collectibles store. I would like to create a page that would allow me to pass in a variable and use that to determine what to display. For example, if i had a page that listed out all the Comic series that i have in my shop. i could click on the series i want and send the name to the new page. This new page would take in the name of the series and find all products that have that value in a metafield that i have.

Hi there!

What you’re describing could be achieved with the following steps:

  1. Creating a metafield for the comic series
    2. Creating a custom filter with metafields.
  2. Creating a page with link outs to the collections with those filters applied.

Here’s a video tutorial for creating custom filters. http://youtube.com/watch?v=pf3z6rPYbcs

Hope this helps!
