The collection filters widget replaces the product grid on your collection pages. Shoppers get the same filters as in search, and the same sort menu without Most relevant.
What the widget does
The Collection filters app block takes over the product grid of a collection page. Every product shown belongs to that collection. Shoppers get:
- A filters sidebar with your selected facets, for example vendor, color, size, and price.
- A sort menu with the sorts you offer in search: by default Price: low to high, Price: high to low, Newest, Best selling, Top rated, Alphabetical, A–Z, and Alphabetical, Z–A. Most relevant is not offered here, because a collection page runs no query and so has no relevance to sort by.
- A product grid. More products load the way you chose for search: a load-more button, numbered pages, or infinite scroll.
The sort list, where the filters sit, and how more products load come from Search → Search experience → Results page in the PersonalizerAI dashboard. One setting controls search and collection pages together.
The filters a shopper picks stay in the page URL. A shared link opens with the same filters active. A filter is hidden automatically when the current results give it only one option, or more than 50. A filter the shopper is using always stays.
