Here you’ll see a list of all the Options currently added to your store.
Add a New Option
To add a new Option, click New Option Type in the top right corner. This will redirect you to the Option creation form:
Here you must fill in two sections to define your new Option:
General Information
In this section you can set the display name and the internal name for the Option Type. If you don’t set an internal name, the presentation name will be used.
You can also select whether or not you want this Option to be filterable on product listing pages by checking the Filterable box
When an option type is set to Filterable, your storefront visitors are presented with option-based filters on PLPs. A typical example of this would be to filter clothing by size and color as shown here:
Option Values
Option Types define the attributes that can be customized (e.g., size, color, or material) while Option Values specify the available choices for each attribute, like Small, Red, or Cotton.
Simply enter the values, and click Add One if you need to add more values.
After entering all the necessary Option Values, click the Create button at the bottom of the page to save the Option.
When creating or importing products, any new Option Values that haven’t already been added to this Option will be added automatically.
Option Management
Navigating back to the Options page, you’ll see that your newly created option is now listed among your other Options.
Here there are a few ways in which you can manage existing Options:
Option Ordering
If you’d like to change the order in which Options are displayed on the storefront, e.g., in filters or on product detail pages, you rearrange them by clicking on the 6 dots on the left-hand side and dragging and dropping them into place.
For example, this will change the PLP filter from this:
