Not every filterable value on a product lives in a WooCommerce attribute – some stores keep extra product data (a material, a certification, a supplier) in a custom-field plugin instead.
The WP Filters widget’s Select Type control reaches into ACF, Pods, Toolset or Metabox connections directly, so those values can drive a filter too.
For the full settings tour of the WP Search Filters widget, see WP Search Filters Widget Settings Overview.
