# How to Create Filtered Product Step

A **filtered product step** is a product step that allows customers to filter the products in the step. 

You can choose between two layouts:
* Vertical filters (drawer)

* Horizontal filters

Why filters are important for your store:
* Help customers quickly find the products they’re interested in
* Create a cleaner, more organized shopping experience
* Allow customers to filter by attributes that matter (e.g., flavor, color, category, price)
* Increase conversion by helping customers make faster decisions
The app uses the filters created by [Shopify Search and Discovery](https://apps.shopify.com/search-and-discovery) app.

|| The filtered product step feature is available on the Regular plan.
