Expand filter options by default

PreviousDelete filter optionNextHide matching product count in filter options

Last updated 21 days ago

By default, the Smart Product Filter & Search app collapses all filter options (like “Size” or “Color”) in the sidebar. But you can easily choose which ones you want to expand or keep collapsed when your store loads.


✅ Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1 – Open Your Filter Sidebar Settings

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to the Smart Product Filter & Search app.

  2. Navigate to Filter > Manage Filter.

  3. Click on the filter tree you want to update.


Step 2 – Expand or Collapse Specific Filter Options

  1. Scroll down to the list of filter options (like Vendor, Price, Color, etc.).

  2. Click on the ✎ button next to the filter option you want to be expanded by default.

  3. You’ll see a setting called “Collapse Filter block”.

  4. Disable this setting to make that filter option expanded by default on your store.

  5. Leave it enabled if you want it collapsed.


Step 3 – Save Your Settings

After making your changes, scroll to the top or bottom of the page and click Save.


💡 Notes

  • Expanded options are great for filters you want customers to see right away.

  • Keeping some options collapsed can help your sidebar look cleaner, especially on mobile.
