Shopify Custom Product Filter: Make Your Catalogue Searchable by What Matters
Standard filters cover size, colour and price, but shoppers often care about material, compatibility, skill level or brand. Filters on those attributes turn a general grid into a guided search, and they depend entirely on the data behind them being set up and kept consistent.
Customers cannot filter by what they care about
The only filters are the generic ones, so shoppers open product after product to check material or compatibility. Where custom data exists it is blank on half the products, so filters return gaps.
Filters on the attributes that decide a purchase
Your own attributes appear as filters with counts and ranges. The data is defined, filled in and tidy, so each choice returns exactly the products it should.
What is included
What Your Custom Filters Include
When you add custom product filters in Shopify, you get the data model, the filter set-up and the display, tested together.
Implementation checklist
- Up to four custom attributes defined as product metafields or tags
- Each attribute made available as a storefront filter
- Filters shown beside the grid and in a drawer on phones
- Counts, active chips and a clear all button
- Range filters for numeric values such as length or capacity, where needed
- Filters that apply only to the collections where they make sense
- Data entry for up to thirty products if you send us the values
- Handover note explaining how to add a value or a new attribute
Filters only work as well as the data behind them, so every product needs a value for each attribute. Large catalogue data entry beyond the included thirty products is quoted separately, and we do not invent product details.

Follow one visit. The shopper filters by material and fit, sees a short list and adds a product to the cart.

What we need to get started
What We Need to Get Add Custom Product Filters Started
Start by choosing an access route, then supply the details below for the custom product filter, while the build itself stays in a copy of your theme.
Collaborator access
The simplest route for the custom product filter: send the store URL and accept our collaborator request, so no password changes hands and access ends when you say so.
No store yet? We build it first
A brand-new store is no obstacle, since we complete the custom product filter in a Partner development store and then transfer ownership to you.
Prefer to share a login?
You can send staff login details for the custom product filter instead, though we recommend collaborator access because it is easier to revoke.
Attributes
List the attributes you want to filter by and the values for each.
Product data
Tell us whether the values are already on your products or in a sheet.
One decision maker
One approver for the custom product filter keeps the feedback in one place and inside the two included rounds.
If the access options for the custom product filter feel unclear, ask in the short form after checkout and we will walk you through the right one.
