STEPS

In your theme editor (Customize):

  1. Click on the Product grid section to open the settings.

  3. Choose whether to Enable filters to callow customers to filter by product options, product type, price, availability, and more.

    To select which filter options to enable, go to your Online Store > Navigation settings in your Shopify admin. In the Collection and search filters section, you can add, remove, and reorder your filter options.

    See Shopify's manual for their guide on collection filters ↗.

  4. Select a Desktop filter location to change where to display the filter options.

    Select Top bar to display filters above the product grid.

    Select Sidebar to display filters to the left of the product grid.

  5. If Top bar is selected, choose whether to Enable sticky top bar to keep the filters visible at the top of the screen when visitors scroll down.

  6. If Sidebar is selected, choose whether to Enable sticky filter sidebar to keep the filters visible when visitors scroll down.

  7. Choose to Collapse filter bar on desktop to hide filter and sorting options until visitors click to open the "Filter" bar.

  8. Choose to Collapse filter groups to hide filter options until visitors click to open the available filter groups.

    You can select this option for both desktop and mobile.

  9. If you have product swatches enabled, check the Show swatch filters box to display those variant options as swatches.

  10. If you have product chips, check the Show chip filters box to display those variant options as chips.

    Select a Chip layout. Either 2 Column, 3 Column, or Natural.

    Natural matches the width of the chip to the length of the variant name.

  11. Click Save.

Customize filter options

You can use Shopify's Search & Discovery app to add custom filters based on product categories, variants, tags, metafields, and more. See Shopify's App guide ↗ to learn more.

Stiletto can show your Variant swatches as filter options. This feature is separate from Shopify's Visual filters ↗, which allows you to add visual swatches to filter options, separately from product variants.
