A new experimental feature – Product filters – has been added to MyCashflow. You can use it to define product features (such as color or size) for your online store's products and their variations.

Product features were released on 7 April 2021

The ready feature is available starting from the MyCashflow Basic plan.

Learn more about product features in our User Guide.

Product features can be used for filtering product lists in your online store's customer area thus enabling visitors to search for products based on their features. For instance, thanks to product features, a visitor can search for all S-sized green shirts in a product category.

We further developing our experimental features based on the feedback from our customers. Tell us what you think e.g. via the chat in the admin panel.

This is what we have planned so far for the ready feature:

  • Creating custom product features in the admin panel
  • Utilizing product features in maintaining technical data
  • New default attributes: material and pattern

Changes to the online store's product lists

The {Products} tag that is used for printing product lists has been renewed in connection with the release of product features. This means that the contents of the product lists printed with the {Products} tag may change after the experimental feature has been enabled.

Here's a brief summary of the differences between the new filtered product lists as compared to the old ones:

  • The new lists include only the products that are available. Products that are out of stock (and whose sales won't continue) or products with no price are not included.
  • Filtered product categories' lists always display products included in all subcategories.
  • Potential filters defined with the filters attribute don't work anymore (e.g. only products on discount or featured products).
  • Pagination is enabled on all lists.
  • Page sizes are defined in a different way, which means that page sizes defined by using the limit attribute won't work anymore.

The changes don't apply to product lists implemented with other tags (such as {CategoryProducts} and {DiscountProducts}). So, you can replace the {Products} tag with other tags when necessary if you don't need product filters on all product lists and would like the lists to remain the same.

If you need help to make the changes, contact your theme's designer or our customer service.

When necessary, see the Designer's Guide for detailed information about changes related to product filters.

Product features and Google Shopping

Product features are used for adding required information to the Google Shopping product feed (such as color and size), which improves product visibility.

In the future, you will also be able to define your own product features (starting from the Pro package) and use two other default features (pattern and material), allowing you to add more information to your Google Shopping feed.

Product feature API

Currently, you can use MyCashflow REST API to add, edit or delete the values of the already existing product attributes.
