Koast Clothing review for Power Tools Filter Menu

Aug. 25, 2020

What an app, what a team behind it! I can't sing the praises loud enough of the Power Tools team and of course Filter Menu. It's two key things: 1. Great value. 2. Really powerful and flexible bringing a new dimension to your Shopify site and more importantly the experience of your customers. Now, for a few footnotes... It isn't that easy to use but this is mainly to do with the sheer power of the app. It will take you some time to acclimatise to the mechanics of the app and its eccentricities (there are many). That said, the Power Tools team are on hand to help and they really do. Keep in mind that they are in different time zones - one support team in Europe and another in Australia (which is useful). It can take a little while for difficult issues to be sorted but they do get sorted. The aliasing feature is truly amazing and with some patience you can create elegant filters to convert browsing customers into buying customers. I've found that I had to watch the excellent tutorial videos a few times to understand what to do and then occasionally check with support on more detailed things. They will help you. I'd add here that I've been designing, building and developing websites for 20 years and I did need to carefully understand the app before launching into config - and I made some mistakes. Important note. If you update your theme then Filter Menu also needs to be "updated" too to ensure it works. The Power Tools team offered to do this for me and I was about 90% successful on my first attempt but one or two small issues did occur. Power Tools helped me with this. There is a need for better docs on the update process and I hope Chris and the gang are reading this and will action it. It will generate so much more confidence in the app. So, I would thoroughly recommend that app without exception. Thanks Power Tools.
