Filtering and refining your search results

The SaleHoo Directory gives you access to thousands of verified suppliers and hundreds of thousands of product listings. With so much available, using filters and sorting tools is the fastest way to narrow your search and find exactly what you’re looking for.

This guide will walk you through how to use the Quick Filters, Advanced Filters, and Sort By options to refine your results for both products and suppliers.

Where to Start

Step 1 – Enter a search query

From your SaleHoo Directory dashboard, type a keyword, niche, or brand into the search bar at the top.

For example:

• “Nike shoes”
• “Bluetooth headphones”
• “Skincare”
• “Pet accessories”

Using Quick Filters

Just below the search bar, you’ll see a row of Quick Filters that help you instantly refine your results.

Available quick filters include:

• Worldwide Shipping – Show suppliers who ship internationally
• Ships to my location – Prioritize results for your region
• No minimum order – Great for testing or dropshipping
• Best rated suppliers – See suppliers with the highest ratings
• Recently added – View the latest supplier additions

These filters apply immediately when selected and update your results in real-time.

Using Advanced Filters

If you want more control over your results, click the “All filters” button on the right-hand side of the screen.

This opens a more detailed filter menu where you can refine by:

Product Filters (View Products tab):

• Price range – Enter minimum and maximum price values
• Supplier type – Choose Wholesaler, Dropshipper, Manufacturer
• Supplier location – Filter by country or region
• Shipping destinations – Select your preferred fulfillment regions
• MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) – Show suppliers with small/bulk requirements

These filters can help you find the best price points, avoid high MOQs, or choose local suppliers for faster delivery.

Switching Between Products and Suppliers

At the top of your results, you can toggle between two views:

• View Products – Individual product listings
• View Suppliers – Supplier profiles that match your query

You can apply filters in either view — but the options will vary slightly depending on the tab.

Sorting Your Results

To the right of the filter row, you’ll find the Sort By dropdown menu. This allows you to reorder your search results based on different criteria.

Sort options include:

• Most relevant (default)
• Highest price
• Lowest price
• Most recent
• Favorites (products or suppliers you've saved)

Saving Filtered Results

You can also save your filtered search for later access.

Just click the “Save search” icon next to the search bar after applying your filters. This lets you:

• Re-run the same filtered query later
• Get notified when new suppliers/products match your criteria
