Filtering

There are 2 options for filtering, tag based and storefront filtering.

  1. Storefront Filtering:
    • Storefront filtering is set up the Search & Discovery app and is based on variants, availability, pricing, type, vendor, and other content
    • To use Storefront Filtering, uncheck (disable)  'Enable tag based filters'

  2. Tag Based:
    • Tags can be used for a number of reasons, but to use them to filter products you must follow a simple structure: Group_Title
    • To use tag filters, check (enable) 'Enable tag based filters'
Group Title Product Tag
Color Red Color_Red
Size L Size_L
Gender Male Gender_Male

 

Sub collection navigation

Unlike other e-commerce content management systems, Shopify does not have a method of creating sub-collections.  Avenue achieves this by using Navigation menus to relate collections.

The majority of time, the main menu will provide the structure you need to display sub-collections, but you have the option of creating a different menu and setting it with the 'Sub collections navigation' menu picker.  The only restriction is that you can only use a collection link once and you must have more than 1 sub collection.
