Improved product filtering and categories

31 August 2026

In response to negative feedback about the beta “Product Filters” UI, Squarespace has improved the way product filters and product categories appear.

On the Product List Page (PLP) view, they now appear as separate, distinct elements, so shoppers can understand how each one works. Previously, categories appeared grouped inside a filter drawer that was confusing. Now, dropdown-style categories display directly on the page alongside the filter button.

On mobile, both elements use a sticky top layout that stays visible while customers scroll through results.

This update applies to 7.1 sites only. Sites built on Squarespace 7.0 do not have product filtering, and have more limited store capabilities.
