What is a custom facet? How does it work?

Custom Facets or Custom Pages are masks for the filtered pages. When a user applies a specific filter or combination of filters, a Custom Facet is applied to change the content of the page.

What content can be modified with the help of a Custom Facet:
  1. Title and description of the page;
  2. Images;
  3. Top and Bottom CMS blocks;
  4. Meta info, such as Meta Title, Meta Description, Meta Keywords, and the Canonical URL.
Facets can be applied to a specific category on one or several store views. This way you can broaden or narrow down the application of the Custom Facet.
