Configure Vehicle Finder fields

Configure which fields appear in the Vehicle Finder form — by default Year, Make, and Model, but you can add, reorder, or remove fields.

What this does

Controls which dropdown fields shoppers fill in on your Vehicle Finder form — by default Year, Make, and Model — and what each one is driven by. A field isn't limited to vehicle data: you can base one on any product attribute in your store (a variant option, tag, vendor, or metafield), so the form isn't strictly tied to the Year/Make/Model shape if your use case needs something different.

The Form fields list

On the Vehicle Finder page, the Form fields card lists every configured field with its label and the attribute it's based on, in the order they appear in the form. Drag a row by its handle to reorder the fields, then click Save in the bar at the top of the page. Each row also has Edit and a delete button. Before any fields are added, the card shows "No field yet".

Add or edit a field

1. In the Form fields card, click Add field (or Edit on an existing field). You can also click Add field in step 2 of the setup guide.

2. Choose the Source — the attribute this field is based on. For a standard vehicle setup, this is the Year, Make, or Model data imported via Import vehicle data; extra columns in your spreadsheet (for example Engine) become attributes you can choose here too. You can also base a field on any other product attribute, such as a variant option, tag, vendor, or metafield.

3. Set a Label (shown to shoppers) and a URL handle (lowercase letters, numbers, underscores, or hyphens, starting with a letter).

4. Under Values, choose which values appear and in what order — Type (Use all values, Manual selection, or By prefix) and Sort (A-Z, Z-A, product count ascending or descending, manually, or natural) — the same choices used for regular filter options. See Manage filter option values for how these work.

5. Under Advanced settings, optionally set Automatically remove value prefixes and Tooltip content (help text shown next to the field, under 150 words).

6. Click Save.
