Configure filter sidebar
Create unlimited custom filters, each targeting specific collections, the search page, or your whole store — and exclude specific collections from a broad filter.
What this does
A filter in the app is a named set of filter options (price, size, color, availability, tags, or any product attribute you choose). You can create as many filters as you need — there's no limit — and target each one independently:
Specific collections — give a "Shoes" collection its own Size filter without adding it anywhere else, while your "Electronics" collection keeps a completely different set of options.
All Products or All Collections — apply one filter store-wide instead of repeating the same setup everywhere.
The search page — show a filter sidebar next to search results too, not just collection pages (see Enable filter sidebar on search page).
The home page or an Automated (smart) collection — target these specifically when your storefront needs them.
If you apply a filter broadly (for example, All Collections) but want it turned off on a handful of specific collections, use Exclude collections instead of building a second, narrower filter — pick the collections that should skip it, and everything else keeps the filter as normal.
To add or edit the individual filter options inside a filter, see Configure filter options.
The Filters list
Go to the app's Filters page to see every filter you've created, with:
Name — the filter's internal name (not shown to shoppers).
Applies to — which collections it's active on (or All Products for a store-wide filter).
Status — whether it's currently active.
A new store starts with one filter applying to All Collections, already pre-populated with common filter options (Collection, Category, Vendor, Product Type, Price, Availability, Tag, and any of your variant options like Color or Size). You can adjust or remove any of these — see Configure filter options.
Create a filter for specific collections
Use this when one or more collections need different filters than the rest of your store (for example, a "Shoes" collection needing a Size filter that doesn't apply anywhere else).
On the Filters page, click Add filter.
Give it a Name (for your own reference).
Under Applies to, search for and select the collection(s) it should apply to.
In the Filter options table, remove any pre-filled options you don't want (click Remove), and reorder the rest by dragging.
Click Save in the bar at the top of the page.
If a collection is covered by more than one filter, contact us at contact@globo.io to confirm which one takes effect before relying on overlapping filters.
Exclude specific collections from a broad filter
Use this when a filter should apply almost everywhere, except for a few collections that need it turned off.
On the Filters page, click Add filter (or open an existing filter).
Under Applies to, choose All Collections.
An Exclude collections field appears — click Browse and select the collection(s) that should skip this filter.
Click Save in the bar at the top of the page.
Disable a filter
Tick the filter sidebar you want to disable
Click on the corresponding options to switch it between active and disabled. A disabled filter's options no longer appear on the collections it applies to.
