How Do I Set Product Filters in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 4:24 pm

If you’re running a WooCommerce store, you’ll want to make sure that your products are properly sorted and filtered so that your customers can easily find what they’re looking for. Luckily, WooCommerce makes it easy to set up product filters, so you can get your store organized in no time.

To set up product filters in WooCommerce, first go to the “Products” tab in your WordPress dashboard and click on “Attributes.” Here, you can add any attributes that you want to be able to filter by (such as color, size, or material). Once you’ve added your attributes, save your changes and then go to the “Filters” tab.

PRO TIP: Product filters in WooCommerce can be a great way to keep your products organized and make it easier for customers to find what they are looking for. However, if you are not careful, they can also cause your site to load slowly and make it difficult for customers to navigate.

When setting up product filters, be sure to:

1. Use as few filter options as possible. Every option you add will increase the number of queries that need to be run on your database, which can slow down your site.

2. Use caching if possible. This will reduce the number of queries that need to be run on your database, and can help speed up your site.

3. Use efficient coding. Make sure your code is well-organized and efficient so that it doesn’t cause unnecessary strain on your server resources.

4. Test your filters before making them live. Be sure to test your filters on a few different products to make sure they are working as intended. This will help you avoid any potential problems down the road.

In the “Filters” tab, you can choose which attributes you want to be filterable. You can also decide whether you want customers to be able to filter by multiple attributes at once, or just one attribute at a time. Once you’ve made your selections, save your changes and then go to the “Shop” page on your site to see the filters in action.

Now that you know how to set up product filters in WooCommerce, you can get your store organized and make it easier for customers to find what they’re looking for.
