The plugin allows your users to compare two or more products by adding them to the comparison table through a specific button shown on the shop page and the product detail page.
The products will be shown to the user in a comparison table displayed as a page or a popup.
In the General settings section, you can set up the following global options:
- Link or Button: choose whether to use a link or a button to let your users add a product to the comparison table;
- Page or Popup: you can show the comparison table as a popup or within a page.
Select ‘Popup‘ if you don’t want your users to leave the page or 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 page, make sure you include the [yith_woocompare_table] shortcode and select the new page from the dropdown;
- Link/Button text: the text of the link or the button used to add the products to the comparison table;
- Link/Button text for products already in compare: the text of the link or the button to let users know the product has been already added to the comparison table;
- Show button in single product page: enable to show the button on the product detail page;
- Show button in products list: enable to show the button on the Shop page;
- Open lightbox automatically: by enabling this option, the modal window of the comparison table will automatically open when users add a product for the comparison by clicking on the related button;
- Open lightbox when adding the second item: the modal window will automatically open when users add a second item to the comparison table. This can be useful to avoid showing a comparison table with just one element;
- Compare by category: by enabling 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.
- Exclude category: through this option, you can set the categories of the products you don’t want to allow to be compared;
- Reverse exclusion list: on the contrary, if you want only these products to be compared, you must enable this option.
