General settings

The plugin allows your users to compare two or more products of the shop by adding them 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.

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: 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 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 one, make sure you include the [yith_woocompare_table] shortcode on that page and select the new page from this dropdown;
• Link/Button text: the text of the link and/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 and/or the button to let users know the product has been already added to the comparison table;
• 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 lightbox automatically: by enabling this option, the modal window of the comparison table will automatically open when users will 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 behavior 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 just need to enable this option.
