Hi @threed
You can use the Merchandising rule in [AI Search & Product Filter ](http://AI%20Search & Product Filter |SB)to hide products based on customer tags. It can hide products tagged as “Wholesale” from customers with no tags or other tags.
Topic summary
Goal: Filter Shopify search results by customer vs product tags to segregate “Wholesale” items.
-
Requirements:
- Customers tagged “Wholesale” should only see products tagged “Wholesale”.
- Customers without that tag should not see “Wholesale” products.
-
Current issues:
- Implementations from online guides (including an Envision tutorial) did not work; both customer groups still see the wrong items in search.
- Temporary workaround sets a seo.hidden metafield on wholesale items and removes the search bar, hurting UX.
- Store uses the Supply theme; site not shared for review.
-
Suggested approach (latest update):
- Use Merchandising rules in the “AI Search & Product Filter” app to hide products based on customer tags, e.g., hide “Wholesale” products from customers without the “Wholesale” tag.
-
Status:
- No confirmation yet that the app-based rule solves the issue.
- Discussion remains open; unclear if a native (theme/Liquid) solution can fully enforce per-customer search filtering without third-party apps.
