What It Does

Ultimate WooCommerce Filters is a plugin that allows you to filter WooCommerce products by color, size, attribute, category or tag. Easy to set up and implement via a block, shortcode or widget.

Key WooCommerce Filter Features include filtering products by color with actual colors displayed, filtering by size, and filtering by any attribute you have created in WooCommerce. You can also filter by WooCommerce categories and tags, include a smart product search, and add a table format view to your shop page.

Setting up your WooCommerce filters is simple. Use an intuitive color picker to select colors for your shop and check the applicable ones for each product. It works the same way for sizes, and for categories and tags, the plugin automatically recognizes those already set up in WooCommerce.

The table format view allows your shop page to display in a table format, showing product title, image, price, rating, and add to cart button, making it easier for customers to compare products. You can also add filters using a widget or a Gutenberg block.

Ultimate WooCommerce Filters includes a dynamic product search feature with auto-complete, allowing customers to quickly find products. The search works in tandem with other filters, displaying only matching products.

The premium version offers advanced features like layout options for each filter type, a price slider, and customizable filtering functionality. It also includes a scheduling tool to manage when your WooCommerce shop is open for ordering.

This plugin is great for various WooCommerce shops and is fully compatible with WPML for multilingual support.
