How do I add a product filter to BigCommerce?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 1:30 am

Adding a product filter to BigCommerce is a fairly easy process. First, open up the BigCommerce admin panel and navigate to System > Product Filters.

From here, you can add a new filter or edit an existing filter.

Once you’ve created or edited your filter, you’ll need to configure it. The most important setting is the “Fields to Filter” list.

This list contains the fields that the filter will search for in your products. You can also add additional fields if needed.

Next, you’ll need to decide what type of filter you’re creating. There are three types of filters: product category, product type, and product SKU.

product category filters are used to filter products by category. For example, you might want to filter all the products in your store by “Clothing” category.

product type filters are used to filter products by type. For example, you might want to filter all the products in your store by “T-Shirts” type.

product SKU filters are used to filter products by SKU. For example, you might want to filter all the products in your store by “1234-5678” SKU.

PRO TIP: BigCommerce does not currently offer a product filter feature. If you are looking to add this functionality to your store, you may want to consider using a third-party app or custom code. Please be aware that neither of these options is supported by BigCommerce, and our Technical Support team will not be able to assist with troubleshooting.

Once you’ve configured your fields and type of filter, you’ll need to add it to your pages. To do this, head over to your Pages section of the BigCommerce admin panel, and select the page that you want to add the filter to.

Next, click the “Add a Product Filter” button.

On the “Add a Product Filter” dialog box, you’ll need to provide the name of the filter, the fields that it will search for, and the page on which it will appear. You can also specify the type of filter (product category, product type, or product SKU).

Finally, you’ll need to configure the filter’s settings. These settings define how the filter will behave.

For example, you might want to specify how many products to return per page.

Once you’ve added the filter, you’ll need to test it. To do this, select the page on which you want to test the filter, and click the “Test Filter” button.

You’ll then be able to see the results of the filter on the page.

If everything looks good, you’re ready to go live with your new product filter!.
