What it does
Standard layered navigation in WooCommerce reloads the page every time a shopper changes a filter. On stores with large catalogs and many product attributes, that gets tedious fast. This plugin swaps those reloads for Ajax requests, so the product listing refreshes in place as filters are selected or cleared. Customers can keep adjusting their choices and see matching products right away, which makes narrowing a big inventory down to a short list much easier.
Beyond plain links and checkboxes, the plugin gives you color swatches and size selectors for attribute filters, so shoppers can filter visually. It suits apparel, shoes and other stores that sell variable products with lots of variations and attributes. Filter URLs and attribute links are preserved, so filtered views keep regular links. It requires WooCommerce and works within your existing shop and category pages.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores with large catalogs
- Apparel and shoe shops filtering by color and size
- Stores selling variable products with many attributes
Features
Ajax product filtering
Product listings update on the same page as shoppers select filters, so there is no full page reload each time a filter changes.
Color swatch filters
Shoppers can filter products by clicking color swatches instead of reading through a list of color names, which makes color choices quicker to scan.
Size selectors
Size filters display as selectors, a good fit for apparel, shoes and similar categories where customers usually shop by size first.
Checkbox filters
Traditional checkbox filters sit alongside the visual options, letting shoppers combine several attribute values to narrow down their results.
Preserved attribute links
Filter URLs and attribute links are kept intact, so filtered product views still have regular links that can be shared or bookmarked.
Handles variable products
Designed for stores with many product variations and attributes, so catalogs with detailed attribute data can still be filtered by shoppers.
Straightforward configuration
A user-friendly settings interface and documentation help store owners set up filters without needing advanced technical skills.
