Hello @Kmoe,

If you would like this filter to appear in your sidebar, please use the “Product Categories” widget under “Dashboard → Appearance → Widgets”, and configure it as shown here: https://prnt.sc/PDu1bJ-KlgUV.

If you require different settings or custom placement, kindly provide us with additional details, including screenshots or videos.

Best regards,
