# Setting Up Conditional Filters

## Keep a filter out of the way until it's actually relevant.

**Overview**  
A conditional filter stays hidden until a shopper picks a specific value in another filter first. Use it for filters that only make sense for part of your catalog, like showing a "Blade Length" filter only after a shopper selects "Knives" under Product Type.

**How to set one up**

1. Open the filter you want to make conditional and find Conditional Visibility.
2. Choose the filter it should depend on.
3. Choose which value or values of that filter should trigger it to show.
4. Save.

*Tip: Keep the filter it depends on enabled and visible. If shoppers can't see or set that filter, they'll never see the value that reveals the conditional one.*
