# Algolia
### Overview
Shoppy utilizes [Algolia](https://www.algolia.com) to allow users to **filter** products on collection pages. Here's what you need to do to enable this feature on your shop.
### **Set up Algolia for your Shoppy app**
**Install the Agolia app in your Shoppy store**
From the app section of your Shopify go to Shopify App Store and search for the app **Algolia Search and Discovery**, or click on [this link.](https://apps.shopify.com/algolia-search)
Click on "**Add App**" to add the app to your store.
**Create your Algolia account**
Once you've added the application, you can log in or create an account if you don't have one yet.

**Set up the Algolia app in your store.**
Once you've created your account, go to the API Keys sevtion and copy teh Application ID, Search API Key, and Private Admin API Key into the **"Credentials"** block. Enter "shoppy\_" into the "**Indexes Prefix"** field.
By clicking "**Save",** Algolia can index all of your products and collections.
**Enable Collection Pages**
Enable collections pages with the switch In the Collections Pages of the Algolia app on Shopify.
{% hint style="info" %}
If you are unable to see the Algolia connection page on your store, change the CSS Selector field to a value **other than** *main.css.*
{% endhint %}
In the field "**Sort Orders**", add the following entries:
* Most popular
* Cheapest first
* Newest first
* Oldest first
* Name
* Most expensive first
* Name Z-A
After doing this, click "**Save".**
**Index Named Tags (optional)**
Named tags are special tags that you can attach to products, which have a name in addition to a value. This way, you can group products by tag type.
To add a named tag, add a tag in this format: NAME:VALUE. For example: the name could be "Item Type" and the values could be the various types/categories of items in your store.
To activate named tags, go to the "Indexing" tab, select "Index Named Tags" and press "Save".
{% hint style="info" %}
To learn more about named tags visit the Algolia documentation page.
{% endhint %}
### Insert the keys for Algolia on Shoppy
Now all you have to do is connect Algolia to Shoppy. To do this, open Shoppy's "**Integration**" tab and enable Algolia integration with the "**Enable**" button.
In the popup that appears, insert your **Application ID** (Algolia ID) and the **Search API Key** (Algolia Key) found on the Algolia dashboard in the API Keys section.
