# Configure filter options

A **filter option** is one filterable attribute — Price, Size, Color, Availability, Vendor, a product tag, or a metafield. Each option shows a list of **values** shoppers can select (for a Color option, the values would be Red, Blue, Green, and so on).

## Starting set of options

When you open a filter (see [Configure filter sidebar](/filters/configure-filter-sidebar.md)), its **Filter options** table already lists every available source for your store — built-in properties (Collection, Category, Vendor, Product Type, Price, Percent Sale, Availability, Tag, Ready to ship, Location) plus one row per variant option your products use (Color, Size, Material, and so on).

## Add a filter option

Pls follow these steps below:

1. Open the filter and click **Add filter option**.
2. Choose the **Source** for this option.
3. Set a **Label** (what shoppers see) and a **Display type**.
4. Click **Save** in the bar at the top of the page.

## Edit a filter option

Click a row's **Edit** action to open **Edit filter option**, where you can change:

* **Source** and **Label** (the label also sets the URL query parameter shoppers see, e.g. `?color=Blue` — use **Edit URL handle** to change just the parameter name).
* **Display type**: Checkbox, Radio, Range slider, Swatch, Swatch - Text, Box - Rectangle, or Select. See [Color swatch for filter option](/filters/filter-options/color-swatch-for-filter-option.md) for the two swatch types.
* **Values** — which values show and their sort order; see [Manage filter option values](/filters/filter-options/configure-filter-options/manage-filter-option-values.md).
* **Display options** and **Advanced settings** — collapse behavior, AND/OR matching, text casing, and more; see [Manage filter option values](/filters/filter-options/configure-filter-options/manage-filter-option-values.md) and [Use AND filtering condition](/filters/filter-options/use-and-filtering-condition-in-same-filter-option.md).

## Which display types are available

The **Display type** dropdown only shows options that make sense for that option's data:

* **Text/category attributes** (Color, Material, Tag, Vendor, and similar) — full choice of **Checkbox**, **Radio**, **Swatch**, **Swatch - Text**, **Box - Rectangle**, or **Select**.

  ![Color option — Display type dropdown](https://2009335375-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FKmtdB4I84W3J8hc91H4S%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-eefe4e47d77aa8a66da5fd57c9723225270952a9%2Fedit-filter-option-top.png?alt=media)
* **Numeric/range attributes** (Price, Percent Sale) — locked to **Range slider**, with a **Slider step** field instead of a value list.

  ![Price option — Range slider only](https://2009335375-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FKmtdB4I84W3J8hc91H4S%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d362beb79227505dcf507624b6c743380858176e%2Fedit-filter-option-price.png?alt=media)
* **Yes/No attributes** (Ready to ship, and similar) — locked to a **Yes/No** display, with no value list or Logic setting.

Because of this, a numeric or Yes/No option's Edit page also skips sections that don't apply to it (no **Values > Type/Sort**, no **Logic** OR/AND, no **Enable search within values**) — that's expected, not a bug.

## Reorder filter options

Drag a row by its handle in the Filter options table to change the order options appear in on the storefront.

## Remove a filter option

Click **Remove** on the row, then **Save**. This removes it from the storefront immediately; it does not affect your Shopify product data.
