What it does
Stores that sell several similar digital products often leave buyers flipping between pages to work out the differences. This plugin solves that by placing selected products in one organized table. Visitors can add items to a comparison list or remove them as they browse, and the table updates to show only what they want to see. That makes it easier to judge software tiers, digital asset packs or service options at a glance.
The plugin works inside your existing Easy Digital Downloads setup. You decide which details appear by defining custom product fields, and the meta fields table in the settings can be sorted so the most relevant attributes show in the order you prefer. The comparison layout can be adjusted to match the look of your store, and the tables are responsive, so they display properly on phones as well as desktops.
Best for
- Easy Digital Downloads stores with several similar products
