Hi @Sterinc

Would you mind to share your store URL? Thanks!

Hello , i cannot share the store URl sorry , but you can test with a store URL that you know , here’s the URl :

store.com/collections/all?sort_by=best-selling

replace store with store domain, it shows the best selling product and i want to hide/redirect to another filter than the best-selling

thank you !!!

Instructions

  1. Go to ‘Online Store’ → ‘Themes’ → ‘Customize’.
  2. At the top of the page, click on the button that says ‘Home Page’.
  3. From ‘Home Page’, click on ‘Collections’ → ‘Default collection’.
  4. On the left side under ‘Template’, click ‘Product Grid’.
  5. On the left, scroll down to find the ‘Filtering and Sorting’ section.
  6. Disable ‘Enable Sorting’.

Hope this helps!

hello there, thank you for this reply but i have done that already , but how to disable it in URL? i mean even if it’s disabled and you type the URL i sent before it shows the collection with he FIlter of best selling and that’s what i want to remove/redirect

I tried it in my store and the Sort By: Best Selling doesn’t appear even in the url you gave me.

I’m not talking about hidding it , this is a method that competitors use to see your best selling products , what i want to do is when they type that URL i want to redirect them to a new filter for example : Last added , or A-Z alphabetically … you understand now?

I know the filter it’s not showing in the collection page that’s not an issue but the product are already sorted with just that URL ( store.com/collections/all?sort_by=best-selling )

Have you tried creating a redirect from the Navigation?

That’s not hwo it shoudl work , i’ve found that some code needs to be added/changed in theme code but nothing worked for theme sense i use , here’s how it should be done :

https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-design/remove-quot-best-selling-option-quot-from-my-sort-by-on/td-p/2401692

https://www.convertout.com/blog/disable-sort-by-best-selling-in-shopify-stop-competitors-from-stealing

But these don’t work for me.

Hope you udnerstand now what’s the idea i want to have, it should be something in the code to delete that filter of best selling or change it to last added for example so when the competitor types store.com/collections/all?sort_by=best-selling

it get’s redirected to last added products filter instead of best selling.

THIS IS TO STOP COMPETITORS FROM SPYING ON MY STORE THAT’S THE GOAL .

I tried it, and it didn’t work for me either. I guess the best we can do is remove the “Enable Sorting” feature so it is not directly accessible in the shop.

Yeah , that has been done but you can access it by URL even if it’s disabled !

i want to redirect or show a text or soemthing instead of showing the sorted collection by best selling
