# Shopify Merged Filter Values

Merged Filter Values let you combine multiple raw attribute values into one shopper-facing filter value.

For example, Medium, M, and Med can all be shown as Medium on the storefront.

# When to Use This

Use merged filter values when you need to:

• Normalize abbreviations
• Combine inconsistent vendor data
• Reduce duplicate filter choices
• Clean up large filters without editing source data in Shopify

# How It Works

1. Enable Import Filters as Grouped Values.
2. Choose the attribute you want to merge.
3. Create a Common Filter Option.
4. Select the raw values that should roll up into that label.
5. Run or wait for the next catalog import.

# AI-Assisted Grouping

If an attribute does not have any merged values yet, the app can suggest groups with Predict Filter Groups.

This is useful for attributes that already contain obvious duplicates or alternate spellings.

# Good Fit and Bad Fit

Merged Filter Values are a good fit for:

• Sizes
• Materials
• Finish names
• Style abbreviations

Use Color Families instead of merged filter values for colors.
