Product List Settings in Shopware 6 Admin

Let’s see how to find the Product List settings in the Shopware 6 administration:

• Go to your Shopware 6 administration;
• Open its main menu;
• Proceed to the Settings section;
• Open the Shop subsection;
• Hit the Products (or Product lists) button.

Two screens are available here: Products and Sorting Options.

Product

The Product section contains product-related settings of the product listing displayed on the frontend. Shopware 6 lets you apply them globally or per sales channel.

• Display buy buttons in listings – show the corresponding buttons in the product list: “Details” (for variant products) or “Add to cart”.
• Hide products after clearance – this option hides sales items from the frontend when the stock level reaches 0.
• Show reviews – this one displays the current average review rating using stars.
• Disable filter options without results – if active, this feature hides filter options that have no results. 
• Mark products as ‘new’, for ? days – here, you can choose the period when a product is considered new.
• Number of products per page – this field lets you specify the number of items on a catalog page. 
• Default sorting  – the sorting option according to which the products display on the frontend. 

Sorting options

Here, Shopware 6 empowers you to create and edit sorting options to display products on the frontend.

The overview of sorting options contains all created sorting schemes. For each option, you can see a parameter used to apply sorting, such as a product name or price.  

As for the priority option, you can change it by double-clicking on the current record. 

Note that all these sorting options are available on the frontend so that customers can apply them to sort the product listing.

Also, note that there is a context menu on the right side next to each grid record. It lets you edit or delete sorting options. 

Add sorting option

If you want to add a new sorting option, hit the Add option button. It transfers you to a new screen where you can create a new sorting option.

The screen is divided into the following two sections: General and Sorting Criteria. 

The first one lets you specify the name of your new option and determine whether it should be active on the frontend.

As for the Sorting criteria section, it contains all the selected criteria associated with this sorting option. Note that Shopware 6 applies the sorting following the criterion with the highest priority. Next, the system uses options with the next lower priority.

You can use the drop-down menu to add new criteria to the sort option. By default, the following parameters are at your service:

• Release date;
• Product stock;
• Product review;
• Product list price;
• Product name;
• Product number; 
• Sold units;
• Custom field.

Double-click on any option in the record to edit it.

Use the context menu to remove the criterion.
