OUR FILTER HAS HAD
CLICKS FROM CUSTOMERS
Enhance your online store by using our BigCommerce product filter to 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.
I can't say enough good things about FreshClick. Their price point is perfect for our store, without having to go to BC's enterprise solutions. The dashboard makes it extremely easy to customize and change your filter at anytime. They are constantly improving the filter with new features. Their customer service is exceptional. They installed and customized the filter for my store and had it up and running in 15 minutes. They fixed any issue I had within minutes. When you use their chat you are actually talking to a developer that will fix your problem immediately. Again great company, great product, great service!
FluxLightThere 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:
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 tooltips, add searchbars as well as editing the Filter titles. If you don't wish to permanatley delete specific filters you can hide them easily.
You can access other important information from your Dashboard including your filter statistics. Settings and installation guidance can be found here. You can also view your company profile and payment details. Any changes to this information can be made easily and instantly.
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 amount 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. this. 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.
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.
Many manufactures label their colors differently, this can cause issues when trying to filter as the colors will not be grouped. Heres 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 seemless experience for the customer. Our value replacer only effect the filter data not the data on your store.

You can now choose how your wish to display filters on your store. These can either be ‘Expanded’ therefore all filters and results will be displayed on a store. Alternatively filters can be ‘Collapsed’ meaning only the filter title will be displayed. Customer can then click to expand the filter and view the results. This is ideal for stores with large numbers of filters.
With each filter you can now add a ‘Tool tip’ to help explain individual filters in more detail. The Tool tip is an image which will appear when customers hover over the question mark next to the filter title. It acts as a visual aid to support customers with their filter searches.
Our Filter Refine Bar feature allows customers to search with in 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 identity 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.
Clients using custom fields on their BigCommerce store can now choose how they wish their filters to display when the filter values are numeric. We offer two options:
1. Check boxes: classic and clear boxes which can be ticked and unticked when customers are using the filter
2. Slider: Customers can sort the values they require by sliding the bar to include/exclude values they choose
