Shop for Shelter review for Boost AI Search & Filter

Aug. 24, 2023

This app really did the job for us for a few years. We're primarily a secondhand shop. We have a big inventory with lots of variation in items so the filtering ability of this app made it easier for our customers to find what they want in large collections. It's all gone a bit wrong us for with it recently though. The newer version of the app has some nice touches (like infinite scroll) but it also forces you into using their product grid in collections. You can't 'just' have the filters If you've got a custom font on the site, it won't work. If, like us, you are using a different image size to the ones they offer you'll have trouble if you were making amends to the product grid and cards yourself in the code, that ability has now gone I really think there should be an ability to just use the filters or to revert to the old style of the app. The new version is overreaching in what we want it to do and as a result we'll have to transition to a new app. We don't really want to do that and it's , shame because the filtering (i.e. what we got it for) is PERFECT for our use case. It's just a shame that the developers have decided that merchants will always want to use their collection product grid settings.
