Bypassing the maximum filtering options limit on Wix Store

I’m trying to set up my online Wix store to sell digital products.
My store has a lot of different products and therefore a lot of different collections.
I want my clients to be able to find the exact product they need, via the filtering options.
The problem is that each filtering category only let me choose 4 collections, which is very limiting.
I asked Wix support if there’s a way to bypass this limit via Wix Code, and they replied “The sky is the limit with Wix Code”, so here I am.
Do any of you guys know how can this filtering limit be bypassed?
Thank you very much!

Hi there,
When ‘Developer mode’ is on - your Store catalogs is available as database collections. Anything you add, change or remove in your Business Manager will update automatically. Therefore, you have the ability to use all the abilities WixCode has to offer - filter included.
For example, you can manage your own database collection with all the tags/flags/collections you want and to reference it to a product. Now you can use any filtering abilities exist and to connect it to any UI you think is right.
Here’s documentation of set filter function: wix-data - Velo API Reference - Wix.com
Here’s a landing page explains a bit more about the new Stores<>Code abilities.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:

Thank you for the reply, Netalee.
Does this mean I’ll have to build the store UI by myself?
Or is there a way to simply modify the current stock Wix Store UI?

You would need to create only your own Gallery…
Everything else can remain the same: product page, cart, checkout…

This is an old thread but I have managed to get more than 4 filters using the standard Wix Editor. It may be that it has been updated since this thread started?

  1. Open your shop page
  2. Right click on the area of the filter list
  3. Click “setting”
  4. Click “filters” from the list
  5. Hover over the “collections” tab and then click on the three dots
  6. Click “Edit”
  7. Click all the filters you want to and watch them appear in real time on the page, you can also re-order them.

I found it allowed me to select more than 4 with this method
