Facets help shoppers narrow down results quickly by what matters most—like size, color, brand, or price. With Layers, you decide which attributes become filters and how those filters appear to customers. Group values into friendly buckets and control the order so the most helpful options show up first.
Facet grouping and sorting are new features. Please contact support if you encounter any issues.

​
What do you want to do?

​
Designing great filters

  • Show your most‑used filters near the top (Size, Color, Price).
  • Use groups to reduce long lists (Reds/Blues/Neutrals).
  • Keep value labels human‑friendly (e.g., “Navy” instead of codes).
  • Limit group size so menus stay easy to scan.
  • Periodically prune rarely used values based on customer behavior.

​
Best Practices for Facet Management

  • Prioritize Popular Filters: Place frequently used filter values at the top of the list
  • Use Logical Grouping: Group related values together to create a more intuitive browsing experience
  • Limit Group Size: Keep groups to a reasonable size to avoid overwhelming customers
  • Use Clear Group Names: Choose descriptive names that help customers understand what’s in each group
  • Regular Maintenance: Periodically review and update your facet organization based on changing inventory and customer behavior

​
Example Scenarios

  • Color Attribute: Group colors by shade families (Reds, Blues, Neutrals) for easier navigation
  • Brand Attribute: Create groups for “Featured Brands”, “Local Brands”, and “International Brands”
  • Size Attribute: For clothing, group by size categories (XS-S-M, L-XL-XXL, etc.)
