Shopify filter limitations for large catalogs and diverse categories
Merchants are struggling with Shopify's built-in filtering limits when dealing with large inventories exceeding 5,000 to 10,000 items. There is significant friction regarding the maximum number of possible filters and the inability to handle diverse specifications across many different product categories.
