# Vertical filter layout This flexible feature enables you to present the product filters for your collections in a vertical format, with the option to position them on either the left or right side of the page. As a merchant, this layout choice allows you to customize the navigation experience on your Shopify store to better align with your design preferences and your customers' browsing habits. The Vertical Filter Layout makes it easy for customers to access and apply various filters like size, color, price, or brand as they shop through your collections. Placing these filters vertically on the side enhances the usability of your site by keeping the filters visible while customers scroll through products, reducing the need for excessive navigation and simplifying the product selection process. Choose between a left or right sidebar for your vertical filters to best fit your store’s layout and optimize your customers' shopping experience. Implementing this layout can lead to a more organized display of products and improve the overall efficiency of the shopping process, encouraging more interactions and purchases. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
