Clicks from customers
Enhance your online store by using our BigCommerce product filter on your category, brand and search pages. Also using our quick search will help customers find exactly what they're looking for, quickly and easily. Research shows your customer already knows what they want by the time they've landed on your site, so make it easier for them by allowing them to filter options such as colour, size, rating, price, brand or simply category. Using filters has been proven to improve conversion rates and sales.
There are no limitations on the number of custom filters you can create; therefore, you can tailor your filters to best meet the needs of your store and customers. Standard filters that many stores use include:
Custom filters that are very popular with stores from all different sectors include:
Other examples of more industry specific Custom filters include:
You have 4 options to display your filters.
Checkboxes Classic and clear boxes which can be ticked and unticked when customers are using the filter
Sliders Customers can sort the values they require by sliding the bar to include/exclude values they choose. There are 3 types of sliders to choose from.
Swatches Display your product options in swatches ideal for Color filters.
Blocks Display a small amount of text in rectangles, ideal for Size filters
These allow you to classify your products in a way that you desire and is the easiest way to add a filter. For example, a clothing retailer may use custom fields to create filters such as size, colour, or length.
Product Options allow you to add more complex variations on the products your store sells. All product options must be controlled product-level inventory and have SKU's with stock.
These are the filters used by most BigCommerce stores such as brand, category, condition, rating, price, stock, featured products, sale products and Shipping.
Build your own filters directly in our app without having to modify your product data in BigCommerce.
Our easy to use filter configuration allows you to control your filters from one central location. On the filter page, you can see what filters you have set up and if they are visible on your site. You can add and delete filters, hide filters, add search bars as well as editing the Filter titles. If you don't wish to permanently delete specific filters, you can hide them easily.
No data? No problem, we've got you. You can now build filters directly inside our app without modifying your products in BigCommerce.
All you need to do is add your filter title (e.g. Type) and then fill out the data next to each product. Once you've done that your new filter will be available on your filter page.
When our search filter is enabled, you will be able to take advantage of our quick search see list below for our search filters:
| From | To |
|---|---|
| Light blue | Blue |
| Turquoise | Blue |
| Navy | Blue |
| Royal Blue | Blue |
| Ocean Blue | Blue |
| Cobalt | Blue |
| Emerald | Green |
| Lime | Green |
| Fern | Green |
| Avocado | Green |
| Grass | Green |
| Olive | Green |
Many manufactures label their colors differently; this can cause issues when trying to filter as the colors will not be grouped. Here's where our value replacer comes in. You can replace your Custom field or Product Option values directly in our app to merge the colors together so create a seamless experience for the customer. Our value replacer only affects the filter data, not the data on your store.
Our Filter Refine Bar feature allows customers to search within each filter. For example, a customer may want a particular brand, but there are over 50 brands in the filter. By using the Filter Refine Bar, they can immediately identify the desired brand. Ultimately this makes the online shopping experience quicker and easier, therefore improving customer satisfaction.
This feature can be enabled from the Settings page on your filter Dashboard. It is particularly beneficial to stores with great numbers of products.
Using our Sort order feature, you can arrange your filter values as you desire. By Logging into your filter dashboard, you can manage the sort order which will then change the order in which the values appear on your store. You can choose an order that is suitable or logical for you and your customers.
Our filter automatically picks up image changes on product options via SKU's or Rules.
For example, if you have products with multiple colors and the green filter is clicked, it will show all of the products in green.
Here you can view your Filter statistics which makes for a very interesting read! This includes a graph showing what filters people are clicking on day by day. You can see your best-performing filters and the number of clicks they had. Using this information in conjunction with sales data can really help stores with the buying and promotion of goods.
You can also view a breakdown of all the filter clicks and the total times the filter has been used. With this data, you can see how customers are using the filter and most popular categories they are clicking on. This can help stores make informed decisions about the items they stock and their marketing strategies.
