Filtering

Avenue has 2 options for filtering products:

  1. Tags: Product tags are added in the admin, Learn More.  The tags option also uses the Online Store 2.0 price filter, Learn More.  To use tags, check 'Enable tag based filters'
  2. Admin:  The new Online Store 2.0 relies on product information and is set up in the navigation admin, Learn More. To use the new filters, uncheck 'Enable tag based filters'

To use tag filters, check 'Enable tag based filters'

 

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.
