This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating custom links to your Boost collections page with pre-selected options, such as the subscribe and save toggle enabled, filters, or sort order. By adding specific query strings to your collections URL, you can create targeted links that enhance your customers' browsing experience and streamline their product discovery process.
Before creating your custom links, ensure that you have the desired features enabled in your Boost admin settings. For example, to link directly to your subscribe and save toggle enabled, navigate to the Boost admin, select "Settings" > "Subscribe & Save", and enable the toggle for the collections feature.
Linking to Subscribe and Save Pre-Selected
To link directly to your collections page with the subscribe and save toggle pre-selected, append the following query string to your collections URL (without quotes):
"?subscriptions=true"
Linking to Pre-Selected Filters
You can also link directly to your collections page with specific Hero or Sidebar Filters pre-selected. To do this, add the following query string to your collections URL:
"?filters=filtername"
Replace "filtername" with the actual name of the filter you set up in the Boost Admin Hero or Sidebar Filters section.
To link to multiple pre-selected filters, separate the filter names with a "|" character:
Linking to Pre-Selected Sort Order
To link to your collections page with a specific sort order pre-selected, append the following query string to your URL:
"?sort_by=value"
Replace "value" with one of the following options:
a_z (alphabetical, A to Z)
z_a (alphabetical, Z to A)
price_low_high (price, low to high)
price_high_low (price, high to low)
oldest (oldest first)
newest (newest first)
Combining Pre-Selected Options
You can combine multiple pre-selected options, such as the subscription toggle, filters, and sort order, by adding "&" between the URL query strings.
For example, to link to your collections with the Subscribe & Save toggle enabled, a specific filter, and a sort order, use the following format:
Replace "filtername" and "value" with your desired filter name and sort order, respectively.
Example: www.yourstore.com/a/collections/products?subscriptions=true&filters=chocolate&sort_by=newest
By creating custom links with pre-selected options for your Boost collections page, you can provide your customers with a more tailored and efficient browsing experience. Experiment with different combinations of query strings to create targeted links that suit your business needs and drive more engagement with your products.
