PortfolioAbout This Project
When browsing an EC site, customers want to quickly find products that suit their needs. For sites with many products, filter functionality greatly affects usability.
In this project, we designed a system that uses Shopify's custom fields (Metafields) to filter products by gender, season, category, price range, and various other conditions.
Challenges
- Standard Shopify filters can't handle certain items (season, sport type, etc.)
- Complex filter combinations don't always display results correctly
- Page loading tends to slow down
Solution
We used Shopify's Metafield feature to assign custom attributes to each product. This allows us to freely add filter items that aren't supported by default.
We also divided filter processing between server and client to maintain performance while handling complex filtering.
