Product filters

To set up product filters on your ShopWired account:

1. Navigate to Apps
2. Locate the Product filters app
3. Select install this app
4. Create filter groups (described below)
5. Configure filters for your products (described below)
   • Filters can be configured either when creating or editing the product or through the product import/export system

As described above, filters are grouped together into categories such as Colour or Style.

To create a filter group:

1. Navigate to Settings > Filters
2. Select create filter group
3. Enter the Filter group name of the filter group, which is the name that will appear on your website and in your ShopWired account
4. Enter the Sort order of the filter group, which determines the order it displays on your website
   • A filter group with a low sort order, e.g. 1, will appear before a filter group with a higher sort order, e.g. 10
   • Where a filter group doesn't have a sort order, or two or more filter groups share the same sort order, filter groups are ordered alphabetically
5. Select Page types for the filter group, which determines the pages on which it will be displayed
   • All pages means it will be displayed on all category, brand, and search results pages
   • All categories means it will only be displayed on (all) category pages
   • All brands means it will only be displayed on (all) brand pages
   • Search page means it will only be displayed on the search results page
   • Category means it will only be displayed on category pages you select
   • You can only select leaf categories
   • Brand means it will only be displayed on brand pages you select

When a visitor uses the filters on your website:

• Selecting two or more filters from the same filter group is treated as an or request (products matching any selected filters are displayed)
• Selecting two or more filters from different filter groups is treated as an and request (only products matching all filters across groups are displayed)

If you want visitors to filter products by price, create a Price filter group

1. Create a filter group in the standard way described above
2. Select the Is this filter group for product prices? setting
3. Use the Price ranges setting to configure the price ranges available
   • For example, ranges like 0 to 5 or 5 to 10 for small value products, and 0 to 50 or 50 to 100 for higher value products
   • The first price range should have a from value of 0, and the last range should have a to value of 0 (which ShopWired uses to mean unlimited)

Many of ShopWired's Version 4 and Version 5 themes display price filters as a slider, so adding price ranges may not be necessary. Contact support if you need assistance.

When creating a price filter group, ShopWired looks at the product price when determining whether to display the product.

When creating or editing a product, you can configure the applicable filters for the product:

1. Navigate to the Product categorisation section
2. Select the Filters tab
3. Each filter group will be displayed within the tab
4. Select the filter group you want to configure the filters for and enter the filters for the specific product
   • Separate multiple filters with a comma, e.g. blue, black
5. Configure filters for all applicable filter groups
   • If there are no applicable filters for a filter group, leave it blank

You can configure the filters for products using the product import/export system using the Option columns.

Before beginning, ensure you have created your filter groups. Filter groups cannot be created through the import system.

The column headings in your import template depend on the name of your filter groups and the order in which you created them in your ShopWired account. You should download your product import template to get the required column headings.

• Leave the cell blank not to configure filters for a filter group
• If more than one filter is applicable to the product in the same filter group, enter multiple filters separated with a comma

If you want to adjust the order in which filters display on your website within a filter group:

1. Navigate to Settings > Filter sort order
2. Locate the filter group you want to rearrange the filters for
3. Use the compass icon to drag and drop the filter into a new position within the filter group

ShopWired's filter/variation syncing app can be used to automatically create filter groups from variation options and filters from variation values for your products.

How filters and filter groups are displayed is determined by your website's theme. Different themes will display filter groups, filters, and price filters differently.

You can change how filters and filter groups are displayed on your website by editing your theme's code or contact theme support for assistance.

By default, the filters configured for a product will not be displayed on product pages of your website (for example, as part of a specification table), but they can be added to display by adding some code to your website's theme files.

Returns an array of filter groups and filters configured for a product.

{% for option, values in product.filter_values %}

option returns the name of the filter group and value returns the name of the filter.
