Attributes and storefront filters
Define attributes like size and color, choose their options and swatches, and decide what customers can filter by.
Attributes are the structured facts about a product — size, color, material. Done well, they power your storefront filters and make products findable. Manage them under Manage your Store → Attributes.
Create an attribute
Add the attribute
Go to Manage your Store → Attributes → Add New Attribute. Pick a Type — select, multiselect, swatch, text, number, or boolean. The Slug is generated for you.
Make it filterable
Turn on the Filterable flag so the attribute appears as a storefront filter, and set Visibility to control whether it shows at all.
Add options
For select, multiselect, and swatch types, add options. Each option has a Label, an optional hex color or swatch image, a Visibility, and a sort order.
