Key takeaways

  • URL-encoded filters work with browser back/forward.
  • Sort by Featured, Price, Best selling, or Newest.
  • Live result count updates as filters apply.

What you're trying to do

Default Shopify collection filters are weak — usually just availability and price range. Real filtering needs the categories shoppers think in (Concern, Format, Skin type). Tag-based filters give them that without paying for a third-party app.

Things to watch out for

  • Tag hygiene — Fudge audits your tags and flags duplicates / typos.
  • Filter combinations that return zero — Fudge shows a 'no results' state with a 'clear filters' CTA.
  • Mobile UX — Fudge handles this: filters open in an off-canvas drawer (configurable).
  • URL stability — Fudge handles this: filter URLs are stable and shareable.

How Fudge does it

Fudge duplicates your live theme into a draft, builds the section as an editable Shopify section with the placement and behavior your prompt requires, and wires it to your real product data and brand styling. Everything starts in draft — preview on your store, tweak via the Theme Editor, and publish only when you're ready. Your live store stays untouched.

Why filter chips beat dropdown filters

Filter chips (visible, toggleable) outperform hidden-dropdown filters because shoppers can see the options at a glance. For categories with multiple meaningful filter dimensions (concern, format, price), chips drive significantly higher engagement.

When this is worth building

Build chip-based filters for collection pages with meaningful filter dimensions. Skip for collections where filtering doesn’t help (single-SKU lines, small catalogs).

What makes one great

  • Concern + Format + Price filters — three dimensions matters; more becomes overwhelming.
  • Sort options surfaced — Featured, Price, Best selling, Newest.
  • Applied filters visible — toggleable to remove.
  • Mobile becomes off-canvas drawer — different UX, same options.
