# Configuring & Using Facets

Facets are powerful, attribute‑based filters that help shoppers progressively narrow down large result sets to exactly what they need. In Experro, facets are generated from product metadata—such as brand, price, color, size, and category—and displayed alongside search results or category listings. Properly configured facets streamline navigation, reduce time‑to‑product, and drive higher engagement and conversions.
