Better filter guidance, more relevant results.
Shape the shopping experience per category
Sofas need different filters than decorative items, and a sale promotion needs different filter options than the regular catalogue. The OPAL gives each category its own filter configuration and marketing an editor for quick filters – all directly in the OXID administration area, without a developer request.
What the OPAL solves for you
1.Every category gets the filters its range really needs – dimensions, price, attributes, manufacturer, individually configured.
2.Marketing creates quick filters for sale, new arrivals or bestsellers itself. The button appears immediately as a clickable element in the category.
3.No external services, no dependencies. Filter conditions are validated server-side before they generate a database query.
Before / After
The sofa category shows the same filters as home accessories, even though customers here search by width, depth and seat height.
Sofas have dimension filters and a price slider, home accessories only matching attributes. Every category fits its range.
A customer looks for red sofa cushions – but colour is not a filter, so she scrolls through the entire category.
She selects red in the colour filter and immediately sees only the matching cushions.
A sale selection for the category needs its own landing page: concept, implementation, approval.
Marketing creates a quick filter. The sale button appears in the category, no template release needed.
Part of the OPAL family
OPALs are prebuilt project accelerators from OXID eSales that serve as a solid foundation and need to be adapted to your system landscape.

Filter configuration per category
Every category gets its own tab in the administration area. There you define which filters are active, how the price range is displayed and which sort orders should be available.
Select multiple attributes at once
Customers select multiple values of a filter at once. The results list updates once with the combined result, no selection disappears while filtering.
Quick filters for promotions
Sale, new arrivals, bestsellers – marketing creates clickable buttons directly in the category. Conditions are assembled from a preconfigured list, no code needed.
Manufacturers with a logo in the filter
Brand logos appear directly in the filter area. Per category you control whether logos or only names are shown.
Prefilter by dimensions and weight
Customers enter a maximum height, width or weight and see only products that actually fit. Wrong clicks on unsuitable product pages are eliminated.
Price range via slider or number field
Customers set their budget via slider or type values directly. The price range adapts to the actual category inventory.
Who is this OPAL for?
