What It Does

71% of users that buy online say that it is essential for them to recognize a brand before making a purchase.

Showing known brands in your shop has many advantages both for you and for your customers, especially in an online store, where quality cannot be touched and a product might be easily under- or overestimated. Not only do well-known brands attract customers and grant more visibility, but they will make your customers feel much more confident when buying, because the brand itself is a guarantee of quality.

With this plugin you can create unlimited brands, upload logos and show them in product pages to help customers easily find products of their favorite brands.

The free version allows you to create unlimited brands, set names and descriptions, upload logos, manage brands hierarchically, and assign brands to products. The premium version offers additional features such as default images for brands without logos, customizable brand archive pages, and integration with WooCommerce for enhanced functionality.
