General settings

Home > Premium version settings

The plugin allows comparing two or more products of the shop.
The users can add the product to the comparison table through a specific button available on the shop page and/or on the product detail page.

The products will be shown to the user in a comparison table displayed as a page or as a popup.

Following you find general settings of the plugin

“Link or Button”: choose here if you want to use a link or a button to allow your users to add a product to the comparison table.
“Link/Button text”: the text of the link and/or the button used to add the products to the comparison table
“Page or Popup”: the comparison table can be shown as a popup or within a page.
Select ‘popup’ if you don’t want your users to leave the page where they are, select ‘Page’ if you prefer showing the comparison table on a dedicated page.
“Choose Compare Page”: the Compare page is automatically created. Yet, if you want to use another specific one, please, make sure you include the [yith_woocompare_table] shortcode on that page and select the new page from this dropdown.
“Show button in single product page”: show/hide the button on the product detail page.
“Show button in products list”: show/hide the button on the Shop page.
“Open automatically lightbox”: if this option is activated, the modal window of the comparison table will open automatically when users will add a product for the comparison clicking n the related button.
“Open lightbox when adding the second item”: the modal window will be automatically open when users add a second item to the comparison table This behavior can be useful to avoid showing a comparison table with just one element.
“Compare by category”: activating this option, all the products added to the comparison table will be divided by category so that the comparison will be done only for products of the same category.

With the “Exclude category” option, you can set the categories of the products you don’t want to allow the comparison for.
On the contrary, if you want that only these products can be compared, you just need to activate the “Reverse exclusion list” option.

Shortcodes & widgets

Shortcodes

The plugin includes three shortcodes.

1. Custom comparison table

The first one lets you create comparing tables for specific products of the shop. In order to do it, go to the “Build Shortcode” section of the settings panel of the plugin, and select the products you want to display in the customized table.

Copy and paste the generated shortcode on the page where you want to show it.

2. Product Counter

The second one lets you show a counter of the products added to the comparison list so far. The shortcode is:

[yith_woocompare_counter]

It can be added on any page or even in a widget.

This is how it might look like on the Shop page before the products.

3. Compare button

If you’re building your shop page and/or product pages using a page builder, you may need to show the “Compare” button using a shortcode. You can use this one:

[yith_compare_button]

Widgets

YITH Request a Quote

Home > Premium version settings

YITH WooCommerce Request a Quote allows enabling an easy-to-use system to manage quotes and price estimates. Your users can add one or more product to the quote list and send a request. The admin can, then, make a custom price and send the quote (email and PDF document as well): if the users accept the quote, they will be directly taken to the checkout and to purchase the selected products at the agreed price.

The integration with YITH Compare allows you to show the “Add to Quote” button also on the products displayed on the Compare list, so, requesting a quote will be as easy as pie.

To enable this integration, just make sure you have installed and activated the premium version of both plugins.

Then go to the YITH > Compare > Comparison table and flag the option called Show “Request a Quote” button in product info.

This is how it will look on the comparison table:

For further details about the YITH Request a Quote configuration, please, refer to the official documentation.

YITH WooCommerce Quick View

Home > Premium version settings

YITH WooCommerce Quick View will allow your customers to get a quick view of the product in which they are interested. The product details will be shown in a popup, so they don’t need to leave the page they are currently visiting.

You will only have to activate both plugins in order to make them work together. The combined use of these two plugins will insert the “Compare” button in the quick view popup of the product. This will give your customers the possibility to add a product to the compare list without abandoning the current product popup.

For more information about how to set up the YITH WooCommerce Compare plugin, check out the full documentation here.

YITH Color and Label Variations

Home > Premium version settings

YITH WooCommerce Color and Label Variations allows you to create custom attributes for the variations of products available in your shop. From version 1.9.0 on it is also possible to show the single variations in archive pages.

Combining the two plugins will make it possible to also compare these single variations in archive pages, like in the example above, where we compared two of the same hoodies but in different colors.

In order to make them work together, you will only have to activate both plugins and set them up as you wish. For more information on how to set up the YITH Color and Label Variations plugin, check the documentation here.
