HQ Plugin: Optimization and Removal of Unavailable Filter Properties

Shopware’s filter function is a fundamental tool for filtering products, for example by manufacturer or price. By assigning properties such as color, size and material to your products, customers can filter by them. This makes it easier for your customers to find their way around your shop and quickly and specifically find the right products. This increases customer satisfaction through a simple but effective filter.

As a Shopware agency with almost 20 years of experience in the development and support of e-commerce projects, we have developed a fantastic feature for this purpose.

Our plugin optimizes your filters and improves the clarity of filter properties. For greater clarity, grayed-out filter properties are removed. Unlike many other plugins, this is not done by simply hiding the filters, but by removing them from the HTML code. This significantly improves loading time and reduces server load. This makes your filters more effective and easier to use. Your potential customer can then choose only from filter properties that are actually available.
In addition, products and further filter properties are loaded live if a manufacturer is available. Additional sub-filters also appear automatically if no manufacturer is found for a product.

Our filter extension gives you the option of optimally adapting the filters in your shop. This improves your customers’ shopping experience because the filter properties are improved and therefore appear more user-friendly. The plugin developed is compatible with Shopware 5.
