Properties Description

• Title - Display name of the field which will be displayed on the storefront (Filter title).

• Weight - How important this field is for our ranking algorithms and search engine. The bigger the value, the more important it will be.

• Allow to filter by this field - Activates the field to be read within Findify and a foundation to be used as a filter, in merchandising, to configure Smart Collections or made searchable. All new custom fields are not activated by default. Please make sure that you only enable this property for applicable fields. Huge amount of fields will slow down system performance.

• Return in autocomplete response - Determines whether or not the field will be returned to autocomplete response from Findify Search API (This property might be required for customizations purposes). We do not recommend to return a field to an autocomplete response if it might have a lot of data as this increases the network load and slows down Findify Search API response time.

• Return in search response - Determines whether or not the field will be returned to search response from Findify Search API (This property might be required for customizations purposes).

• Return in response per each variant - Determines whether or not the field will be attached to the search response on a variant level, i.e. variant.id, variant.price, variant.color ...etc. There are no fields attached to the search response on a variant level by default. We do not recommend to return fields on a variant level if it contains a lot of data, as this increases the network load and slows down Findify Search API response time. In addition, you should be aware of the fact that you do not need to push any fields to be returned per variant if the field is set on the product level i.e. tags in Shopify (in this case, all variants will have all the tags already set)
