Please excuse any misunderstandings or assumptions in my post (I’m pretty new to Wix)
Whilst I totally understand why some fields within the Store table structure would need to be mandatory (to ensure that the Store code operates correctly), I’m wondering why a store owner does not have permission to add there own fields to Store tables. (More on why I want to do this later).
I see that it is possible to include ‘Options’ (for size, color etc) but as far as I can see these need to be set as an option for each product. If all my products have a choice of size and color then would it not be simpler to add size and color fields to the table so that they can be queried directly ?
OK here’s my real world scenario… I sell T-shirts and have mock-ups of each design modelled by both a man and a woman. An entry point to the site would be ‘show me mens’ or ‘show me womans’, such that I can filter the dataset of the store gallery to display clothing for only the chosen gender. My instinct tells me to put a Gender field in the store Items table but that’s not allowed. Am I missing something really obvious ? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks. Mat
Hello, Mat.
From what I understand, you are using Wix Stores and it’s default “Products” Collection. As you can see, it has Read-Only permissions. More information you can find here .
So as you said, you can filter by options (just add Men/Women one):
Displaying Collections on your Site Pages in Wix Stores
Creating Custom Filters in Wix Stores
You could also check with Wix Customer Care how it can be implemented as they know best.
If you want to customize the filters even more, you can use your custom database collection and refer to our examples:
