Shopify

Display Custom Images in Color Swatches

New opportunities with color swatches: now you can add patterns (dotted, striped, snakeskin) or complex shades of color (gold, silver, chrome) etc. This will help customers to get a better idea of available color variants and instantly pick the one they like more.

To add custom images to swatches you just need to set up Color Families in the Smart Search & Filter control panel following these simple setup steps.

Add Metafields for Product Variants

Now Searchanise supports metafields not just for products, but for product variants too. For example, you can add the product code, or manufacturer part number to ensure that customers get relevant results when searching by these attributes. To enable search by product variant metafiled, follow these instructions.

Also, you can add filters based on product variant metafields, so that the customers could filter down the product list and quickly find what they need. Check out this help article to set up the new filter.

Last but not least, you can display product variant metafiled values in search results. Here's how to do it.

Integration with Reviews.io

We are happy to announce that Searchanise is now fully integrated with Reviews.io! Now you can display product ratings and the number of reviews in the instant search drop-down menu and on the search results page. What is more, you can allow customers to filter products by rating.

To turn on the integration just go to the Searchanise control panel, Integrations tab and set the toggle for Reviews.io to On.

Set up Individual Sorting for Categories

Now you have more flexibility with categories, as Searchanise supports BigCommerce category sorting. If you use Smart navigation powered by Searchanise to provide filters and would like to have different sorting on your categories pages, now you can do so. For example, for one category you can choose sorting by newest items, for another category – by featured items and so on. Here's how to set up BigCommerce category sorting and how to enable category sorting in Searchanise.
