Feature Request: Online Store Sort by Color & Size

compassrose01 — Tue, 02 Dec 2025 17:01:30 GMT

My customers would love to be able to search our website based on color & size availability!

While I do see you can add these as 'options' to products, it's not really functional for my retail site. If you search based on size, it doesn't take stock quantity into account. Which is really the purpose of filtering by size.

Adding colors also isn't really applicable for my purposes because 99% of my items are only available as one color option. It doesn't require a dropdown selection and would just add one extra unnecessary step towards the purchase funnel.

Would love to see this feature implemented in more of a tags/categories sort of way that allows my customers an easier way to sort through our products!

Add to sort online store :

SALE

currently:

Popularity

Newest

Price (high-low)

Price (low-high)

Alphabetical(a-z)

Alphabetical(z-a)

Why can't we sort by what is on sale?

Feature Request: Filter by size on my Square Online website

The title of this post has been edited from the original: Filter by size

I am wondering if there is an option for our customers to filter by their apparel size? Right now, they can just search based on apparel categories like ladies, mens, youth. Since size is always changing, I wasn't sure if there was a way to make our website customer friendly by allowing them to filter by size as well. Any help is appreciated!

I definitely see how this could be a useful feature for customers when shopping sized apparel, @NFAA. Right now, this would be considered a feature request, but we'll be sure to pop back here and update this thread if anything changes!

Are there advanced search options for my customers?

BeauCorset — Sun, 30 Aug 2020 17:00:09 GMT

I sell bras and other undergarments. My inventory includes hundreds of items, but rarely is each item available in every size. How could I add a feature for my customers to be able to browse my inventory according to an option such as size (ex: 32B size bra). Perhaps filters that could be applied to search results, or a "browse by size" option?

Hey @BeauCorset-

Thanks for posting in the Seller Community.

As of right now, these are the only filtering options we have for customers when viewing your site:

However, we do have a search functionality:

Does that help? Let me know!

Filter items by multiple categories

foothillfarm — Sat, 14 Nov 2020 01:56:00 GMT

I would love to have my customers be able to filter the items they are viewing by multiple different categories.

For example, I have the categories: bi-weekly, weekly, monthly

as well as: Spring, Summer

It would be so nice if the customer could select two or more catergories (such as biiweekly and summer), and square would then display only the items that are all of the selected categories. Much like on amazon when you select "women's shoes" and "size 10"

Is there any way to implement this on square online?

Hi @foothillfarm,

Great suggestion. Let me look into this with our online store team. Also, can you provide your online store URL? Thank you!

Please let me know by replying in this thread. I'll keep an eye out for your response.

Sure, it’s still under development, but here’s my store: www.shopfoothillfarmflowers.com

in the future I’d like to list specific flower varieties in with categories like color, form and months they are in season, so a customer could select blush focal flower blooming in June and see everything in all those categories. It would also be nice if categories could be grouped in a hierarchy. Kind of like size, color, variety, etc, with categories that belong to each group.

Hi @foothillfarm,

Thank you for your patience. I did some digging, and at this point, the ability to filter items by category is a feature request.

We definitely see how it could benefit your business model. Our teams are constantly looking through our seller's feedback to make necessary improvements, and we will be sure to let you know if anything ever changes or if new updates are released.

Thanks, that's what I ended up doing. I posted an instruction in my blog on how to use the search function to find bras in specific sizes. It's rather clunky - especially since everyone who's ever been on the internet expects a filter function on search results - but I guess I'm stuck with it for now...

This would be a very useful feature to include. All I am looking for is a simple filtering criteria that will allow my customers to select Small, Medium, Large or XL. This will be a great add-on for clothing retailers. Thanks!

This would be a great feature for me as well (shoe sales). I know several customers have asked how they could just search for the shoes available in their particular size. Please give any updates on this.

Welcome back to the Seller Community!

No update just yet, @NicoleB1, but we'll be sure to drop an announcement here if this feature is built out in the future 💫

Heya @compassrose01 and @suite1skincare!

We did recently just launch options for filtering items as of April 13th!

Here's an example here of what it looks like live:

Let me know if you have more questions!

Re: Feature Request: Online Store Sort by Color & Size

compassrose01 — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 14:13:14 GMT

Love the improved level of filtering, however my problem remains the same as described--

If you search based on size, it doesn't take stock quantity into account. Which is why customers filter by size, to see what's in stock in their size.

Also, 99% of my items are only available as one color option and don't require a dropdown selection on the product page, which adds one extra unnecessary step towards the purchase funnel. Which is currently the only way I'm seeing to add a color option so far.

Hopefully this will continue to be refined!

ashc — Thu, 22 Apr 2021 14:17:37 GMT

Ahh got it that makes sense @compassrose01!

Thank you for bringing up those painpoints. I'll let the Online Store team know it needs refining for situations like this so I appreciate the detail!
