Create filters for wix stores data

Hi all,

I’m quite new to coding so if this is a basic question then please excuse my ignorance!

Here is my current dilemma…I have a wix store with over 2000 products, this works perfect and I like the shopping cart, checkout pages etc…however the filters that are available on the grid gallery do not allow for multiple selection…(I sell a range of light fittings, I have the light fittings in multiple categories (type - Pendant, Chandelier etc. Style - Contemporary, Traditional etc).

I have the grid gallery pointing to a specific type…so when the customer clicks on Pendants they are shown all the Pendant lights…This works well.

However, I have then setup a filter to display all of the different styles available within Pendants. The problem starts now as the filter does not allow multiple selection…so they cannot then select to show all Contemporary and Traditional Pendants.

I want to have this functionality, I have seen many posts and tutorials regarding having multiple filters, however they all work with databases outside of the wix stores. This would not be a problem and I will be okay to build a dynamic page with the filters, but when the customer then clicks on the product I want them then to go to the product page within the store to complete the purchase.

The products data within the stores database shows the product url, I was hoping to just export this data, import into a new database which I can then manipulate to add the required filter fields, but when this exports it does not show any data??

Any ideas, suggestions or comments on how this maybe could be achieved?
