From your ShopBase admin, go to Online store > Navigation.

Product information, which includes the following conditions:
Availability: to filter out available products.
Price: to filter out products using a price range.
Product type: to filter out products using product type.
Vendor: to filter out products using the vendor's name. This filter is displayed as Brand on the storefront.

To create a new custom filter, click on Create new.
Enter a name for your filter, which will be displayed on the storefront.
Select the options to be displayed in the filter by click on the tags you want to add. Each tag will correspond to a filter option. Only existing product tags will be displayed here. Please refer to this article on how to create product tags.
For example, if you want to create a custom filter of different types of product on sales, you can create a On sale filter with options such as Outerwear, Bottom, Top, etc.
