Shopify App Block Filters & Facets
Introduction
Facets and filters help shoppers refine search results and pinpoint products on Nimstrata search results and collection pages. You can create filters for most product catalog attributes that you import to the Google Cloud Retail API.
App Block Filter Settings
The default attributes when you create an App Block are brands, colors, sizes, availability, and categories. You can add or remove additional attributes as desired.
Price Filtering
Dynamic Facets, such as product price ranges, require up to 72 hours of AI model training time. To return price as a filterable attribute, ensure Dynamic Facets are enabled on your Google Cloud Search and Browse serving configuration, then wait for training to complete.
Missing an Attribute?
Ensure the Retrievable Attribute Control is set to True. This change may take up to 12 hours for Google Cloud to return results.
Layout and Behavior Settings
The App Block filter list is only part of the storefront filtering experience. Use Layout Settings to control filter position, expansion, counts, search-within-filters behavior, and View All limits on search and collection pages.
Data Cleanup for Better Filters
If your filters contain inconsistent raw values, use the Shopify app to normalize them before they reach the storefront:
- Color Families for raw color names
- Merged Filter Values for values such as Medium, M, and Med
