Search products by Type, Vendor, Size, Color and custom options
When looking at a collection, customers can easily select their preferred Size, Color or other options. Their choices are remembered when browsing different collections.
Available options depend on each collection. Filters appear automatically only when products with those filter options exist in the current collection. For example, when looking at Shirts, one can choose Medium / Large sizes, but when browsing Shoes, the sizes are 6, 7, etc. When looking at Dresses, a search by Material might be available.
There is no work required from you to keep automatic filters updated -- just continue to run your shop as you did so far, and let the app keep everything current.
Optional, choose to show only products available in stock.
Multiple selections for a single filter (e.g. Size Medium or Large) are not supported.

Where do filter options come from?
Automatic filters
Automatic filters take data from your Products, if it's already specified in Shopify.
- Type from Product Type field
- Vendor from Product Vendor field
- Size, Color or any other option that you already have set in Product Variants Options
Manual filters
You can manually tag products for additional filters.
e.g. for a Material filter, use tags such as Material_Organic Cotton, Material_Wool
e.g. for a Style filter, use tags such as Style_Classic, Style_New Age
Customize behavior to meet your needs
Customize what filters are available, and how to display them (select lists, checkboxes or active links), including translating or renaming each option. Style them exactly as you wish using CSS.
Do you want customers to focus only on what's in stock now? Choose to Exclude out of stock variants, and the app will limit options only to what's available now.

FAQ
How can I remove the cf-* tags created by the app?
If you uninstalled the app, please re-install it temporarily. There's no need to start subscription.
Go to app Settings, and instead of "Size,Color" etc, leave blank the first field. Save and then click Update product and collection tags.
How does the app know when a product is out of stock?
Twice per day, the app goes through all products. If there's at least a Size Medium variant in stock (with any Color), the entire product will be tagged as cf-Size-Medium. If there's at least a Color Blue variant in stock (with any Size), the entire product will be tagged as cf-Color-Blue.
In some cases, this might result in having products shown when selecting Medium Blue, although Medium Blue isn't in stock.
Can we have different filters for different types of collection pages?
Filters are shown automatically with options available only for products in that collection.
For example, if a collection doesn't have any products with Size option, then Size won't be shown when viewing that collection.
Can the app filter by Price?
No.
From our experience with building high-profile shops (Vera Wang, DOPE, TOMS), a better customer experience would be to have the ability to sort by prices
(example), instead of restricting results to a certain price range.
Focus on finding a good fit first, and then look at the results sorted by price in case a customer is so price savy.
We can add sorting as part of the setup for another $15 (one-time fee).
If you'd really want to have a Price filter, the only solution would be to tag products manually, e.g. Price_Under 25, Price_25-50, Price_50-100, and then add "Price" in app Settings -> Manual filters.
After selecting a filter, will the app adjust the other filters to show options valid only for existing selection?
No. All filters applicable in collection will be shown.
Can customers select multiple options for a single filter, e.g. multiple Colors?
No, sorry. Only one option at a time works for one filter. Different simultanteous filters do work (e.g. Blue Medium Shirts).
Other apps claiming to have multiple options for one filter work actually only for the first 50 products in a collection.
Can I have filters on a left sidebar?
Only if your theme has a built-in sidebar. It is quite complex to implement a sidebar. Note that it has to work great on mobile too, where the sidebar moves to the top.
As an alternative, filters can be placed in the center as drop-downs, before the product listing.
Collection Filter reviews
AMAZING customer support! This app was just what we were looking for to help customers shop by specific sizes.
This app is the BEST! My customers have been begging for a way to sort just by what's in stock in THEIR size because that expedites shopping-Collection Filter did an AWESOME job. I've tested it numerous times and sure enough, it only pulls sizes for certain products that are in stock. Beyond the functionality, which will definitely help us sell more (especially sale items, which can be tedious for customers to click through only to discover we're out in their size), these developers went ABOVE and beyond to help me modify exactly how and where it displays on my collections. Thank you so much Collection Filter team! I highly recommend this app!
Thanks guys.
Just starting out & really appreciate your help.
Re: Support - Really great response time. I had simple requirements so followed the instructions on the app & then got the support I needed to help with my exact requirements. I would recommend using this app.
All going good.
Thanks again.
Great app, support is also really good if you're new to Shopify and don't really know what you're doing!
This filter is exactly what I was looking for in order to improve our online store- I would highly recommend this feature. A++
So happy that I found this filter! I sell kids clothing, and so the ability to sort by available size is critical. Not only was the app great, but they installed and formatted it for an amazingly affordable fee....so happy!!
This App is the best I have purchased!! It makes it easy for my customers to purchase without getting frustrated and leaving the site. Our sales have had a noticeable uptick since this app was installed. The customer support is crazy good. They helped with setting up and smooth sailing since.
Great Job
Super fast. They asked some good questions about our online store so that they could offer the best setup for our needs. Very helpful with our follow up questions after the app was installed on our site. Brett Hemphill www.HemphillsRugs.com
