WHY MERCHANTS INSTALL IT

Most shoppers already know roughly what they want when they land on your store. Search and filters are how they get to it. Give them colour, size, price, brand, rating or category in one click and they reach the right product in seconds instead of paging through a grid.

FreshClick adds instant search and faceted filtering to your category, brand, search, blog and home pages. One-click install, no coding, no theme changes, and a 10 day free trial with no credit card required.

SEARCH

Turn on search and shoppers get results as they type across product names, SKUs, descriptions, custom fields, categories, pages, brands and blog posts.

FIVE SEARCH LAYOUTS

Optimised Dropdown. Our newest layout, in one-column or two-column form. It opens with discovery content before a single character is typed and fills with matches as the shopper types. Every panel is switchable: product suggestions, category suggestions, top searches, top searched products, top searched categories, popular brands, recent searches, a "need inspiration" prompt card, and review stars on the cards. Choose whether category results sit above or below the products, and whether more results load as the shopper scrolls or a View More button sends them to the full search page.

Full Size Popup. A full-width, full-height overlay for an immersive view of results with filters alongside.

Big Dropdown. A large panel below the search bar that keeps the page in context.

Compact Dropdown. A tight dropdown with a filter button, for headers with little room.

All layouts support filters inside the search results themselves, so shoppers can refine before they ever reach a category page.

SEARCH ENGINES

Choose the engine that suits your catalogue: our standard engine, our advanced engine, or AI Search.

RELEVANCE AND CONTROL

Search precision. Tune the balance between precision and recall on a simple scale. Each step adjusts analysers, fuzzy queries, and term and phrase matching.

Spell check and typo tolerance. Misspellings and near-misses still find the product.

Search suggestions, trending searches and recent searches. Suggest terms as shoppers type, surface what your store is searching for right now over a date window you choose, and let returning shoppers pick up where they left off.

Synonyms. Group queries so "iOS" returns your Apple products.

Redirects. Send specific queries to any page, ideal for campaigns and brand hubs.

Ignore words. Strip filler words such as "and", "to" and "this".

Search keywords. Attach extra keywords to a product so it appears for queries your catalogue does not literally match.

Search priority. Pin chosen products to the top of results for specific terms.

Search query control. Hide individual products from the results of particular queries.

Exclude products, exclude category products and manage categories. Remove single products, everything in a category, or whole categories from search.

Direct SKU search and category redirect. An exact SKU match sends the shopper straight to the product; a category match can send them straight to the category.

Add to cart from search. Shoppers can add a product without loading the product page.

Behaviour options. Automatic search or search on Enter, minimum characters before results appear, auto-search delay in milliseconds, match-any mode, and whether results show SKU, description, ratings and blog thumbnails.

SEARCH REPORTING

Search queries. Every query made on your store, with frequency and a date range.

Zero search results. Every query that returned nothing, with an end-of-day summary email, so catalogue gaps surface the day they appear.

Search stats and analytics. Popular queries, click-through and how well your catalogue matches shopper intent.

Custom work. We can change how the engine behaves and which products it favours. Contact us if you need something specific.

FILTERS

Unlimited filters. No cap on the number of custom filters you create.

Our 22 out-the-box filters:

Availability, Bin Picking Number, Brand, Category, Category Tree, Condition, Depth, Featured Products, Height, On Sale, Price, Rating, Sale Percentage, Search, Shipping, Stock, Sub Category, Sub Category Tree, Tools, Top Level Sub Category, Weight and Width.

Popular custom filters across our install base include Size, Length, Colour, Style, Amp, Thread Count and Cable Type.

WHAT DATA CAN I FILTER ON?

Category based filters. Including a full category tree and an option to show only categories in the shopper's current branch.

Custom fields. The quickest way to add a filter. Size, colour and length without touching anything else.

Product options and variants. For more complex variations. Options and variants must be controlled by product-level inventory and have SKUs in stock.

Metafields. Turn metafield values such as colour, material or style into filters.

Filter Builder. No filter data? Build filters inside the app without changing your BigCommerce products, and load them by CSV for speed.

DISPLAY TYPES

Checkboxes, sliders in three styles, colour swatches with your own labels and colours, and blocks for short values such as sizes.

WHERE FILTERS APPEAR

Category, brand, search and blog pages, plus an optional homepage filter. Show them in a vertical sidebar, horizontally above the products, or behind a button that slides them out.

FEATURES SHOPPERS NOTICE

Additive multi-select counts. Selecting one option no longer greys out the rest of that filter, so shoppers can widen a choice as easily as narrow it.

Filter refine bars. A search box inside each filter. With 50 brands, the shopper types three letters instead of scrolling.

Image changing. Pick green and the grid shows the green images, detected automatically from SKUs or rules.

Mobile-optimised filters. A dedicated mobile layout with your own breakpoint, and a choice of collapse and expand, sidebar, a button above the products, or a floating button. An optional apply mode lets shoppers choose several options before the page reloads.

SEO-friendly filter URLs. Filtered pages are shareable, bookmarkable and safe with the back button, and you can add SEO titles and content per filtered view.

Theme-matched product cards. Results reuse your theme's own card design, including sale badges, ratings, swatches and hover images.

Out-of-stock handling. Hide out-of-stock products, show them, or push them to the end. Pre-order and low-stock states are supported, and you control the out-of-stock button text.

Login-only pricing and B2B. Hide prices from guests with your own "log in to view price" wording, apply customer group discounts by CSV, and restrict individual filters to logged-in shoppers.

Payment messaging preserved. Affirm, Afterpay and PayPal Pay Later messaging keeps rendering on filtered product cards.

Lazy loading, filter cache, facet scrolling and scroll-to-top on click keep large catalogues fast and the page in the right place.

FEATURES MERCHANTS NOTICE

Real-time updates. BigCommerce webhooks keep filters in step with catalogue changes instead of waiting for the next sync.

Value replacer. Manufacturers label the same colour five different ways. Merge those values inside our app so they group into one option. It changes filter data only, never your BigCommerce data.

Filter usage insight. The filter dashboard shows which filters shoppers actually used in the last 30 days, which are live, and which product data is still sitting unused and ready to become a filter.

Click stats and analytics. See what shoppers click, which filters earn their place, and which never get touched.

Category top filters and per-category control. Promote key filters above the products, hide individual filters on a category, or hide every filter on a category.

Sort control. Custom sort orders, category sort order, BigCommerce product sort order, and highest-count-first or alphabetical ordering of filter values.

Import and export. Custom field importer, CSV import for Filter Builder, customer group discount upload, and data export.

Presentation control. Horizontal or vertical layout, collapsible filters, custom filter titles, tooltips with images, filter icons, filter badges, count styles, checkbox sizing, your own active colour, header tag choice, a clear-all button, products per page, and the option to hide BigCommerce's own filter and category header.

Styling. Separate custom CSS for filters, search and blog filters, plus a dark-store styling mode.

Blog page filters. Filter blog posts with your own container, template and layout settings.

Reviews support. BigCommerce, Bazaarvoice, Fera, Judge.me, REVIEWS.io, Stamped, Trustpilot and Yotpo.

Translations. Every shopper-facing string can be translated for your market.

Developer hooks. A documented freshclick:init event, plus custom JS and CSS per store when you want something bespoke.

Support. Real people, and we take on custom work when the standard settings do not cover your catalogue.

OPTIONAL PAID ADD-ONS

AI Search. Meaning-based search with ranking profiles, click learning and the full control set described above.

Webhooks. Push catalogue changes into your filters and search the moment they happen in BigCommerce.
