To avoid any mistakes and misunderstandings on the part of users, as well as to remind them about the available filters, it is recommended to allow several selections in one category at the same time.
This may seem like a very simple idea, however, many e-commerce sites do not adhere to this principle.
Filters that are limited to a single option can negatively impact the site’s usability and customer satisfaction.
