WPC Smart Compare for WooCommerce Premium

How do shoppers compare products?

WPC Smart Compare for WooCommerce Premium gives shoppers a comparison list, table, and bar to review products side by side. They can add products with the Compare button or search, then drag and drop to change their order. AJAX interactions keep the comparison workflow on the store without opening a new tab or iframe.

Searches can prompt related products in the comparison table. When the table is empty or no related products are found, shoppers can be prompted to add products. Registered or subscribed visitors can save login data for comparison using the same function as the Wishlist plugin.

Which product details appear?

The Premium edition lets you tailor product attributes, including custom attributes, and product fields, including custom fields. Choose which information to show or hide in the table, and use a smart filter based on a selected taxonomy such as category, color, or size.

You can enable or disable the Quick Comparison Table for related products and choose its position on single product pages. Sticky first columns and rows help shoppers keep product names and details in view while reviewing the table.

How can you adjust the comparison show?

• Set the Compare button type, text, visibility, eligible product categories, and product removal behavior.
• Adjust the comparison bar, including its Add More and Remove All buttons, background color, and button color.
• Let shoppers hide similarities or highlight differences.
• Add a social sharing button that uses links.
• Use responsive layouts designed for touch devices. WPML compatibility supports multilingual websites.

How do you add a comparison button?

First, make sure WooCommerce is installed. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins, choose Add New, search for WPC Smart Compare, then install and activate it. The Compare button will appear on products; configure its options and the comparison table and bar to suit your store.

To place a button on a specific page, use the shortcode and replace the placeholder with the product ID:

[woosc id="{product_id}"]

If your theme already places its own buttons, hide the default archive and single-product positions with these filters, then add the shortcode where you want the button:

add_filter( 'woosc_button_position_archive', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'woosc_button_position_single', '__return_false' );
