Display types

The seven ways a filter can be drawn, and when to use each.

Findora is in development. These docs describe the app as it is being built; details can change before it is listed on the Shopify App Store.

Each filter has a display type, chosen on the Filters screen.

Display type Best for
Checkbox list Most filters: several values can be combined.
Radio list One value at a time.
Dropdown Long lists in little space, such as a horizontal bar.
Colour swatches Colours, drawn as dots.
Image swatches Patterns and materials, drawn from an image.
Button grid Short values such as sizes.
Range slider Price and other numbers. Price shows a histogram of your catalog.

Swatches

Swatch shape (circle, square or rounded square) and size are set under Appearance and apply to every swatch filter.
