From the developer

YITHEMES's own description of YITH WooCommerce Ajax Product Filter, lightly tidied.

E-commerce product filtering is a must-have tool to help your customers narrow in on the product they’re looking for and find products they might be interested in based on specific features (size, color, category, etc.)

A reliable product filtering is what allows your visitors to enjoy and appreciate your product catalog instead of leaving it after a few seconds.

After all, if users can’t easily browse your product lists, they can’t easily find what they are looking for. And if they can’t find it, they can’t buy it. It’s easy to understand. 🙂

With the YITH WooCommerce Ajax Product filter its latest massive redesign, you can finally tackle the user experience in your WooCommerce powered shop. You can help your customers easily find and filter your products by categories, tags, taxonomy, and all kinds of attributes like sizes, colors, materials, brands, etc.

You can create unlimited presets and show the filters on standard WooCommerce pages (Shop, Category pages) or custom pages created with Gutenberg or Elementor. You can add your filters anywhere, using the built-in widget, shortcode, or Gutenberg block. In this way, you can create a preset of filters for the shop page, a preset of filters for a specific product category, another preset of filters for a custom page, and so on: no limits and total maximum control.

Need more? check the premium version!

With the latest update, we have improved the UX and added significant features to our free version. For example, in the previous versions, some essential features like “filter by category” or “filter by tag” options were missing. We worked hard to release a free plugin that works for our users. Anyway, if you want more (like a mobile-friendly design inspired by the larger e-commerce sites), feel free to check the features we provide in our excellent premium version:

  • Two additional layouts for the color filter: bicolor and image support (to better represent gradients, textures, patterns…)
  • Additional layout: label/image. Upload icons, photos and images to identify terms
  • Choose the position of the reset button (above products, above or under filters area)
  • Choose whether to show active filters (with X to remove them) or not and their position (above products, above or under filters area)
  • Modal window on mobile: a layout for filters 100% optimized for mobile devices! (Other plugins just add filters after the products list on mobile, yet, in this way, product filtering on smartphones and tablets is not working. We are the first to have designed and developed a 100% mobile-friendly filtering solution: in a modal window inspired by the largest e-commerce sites!)
  • Filter for reviews
  • Price slider to filter products by price
  • Price ranges with unlimited ranges (last range can show “& above”)
  • Filters to show on sale/in-stock products
  • Ajax sorting for products displayed on the page (by rating, price, popularity, latest)
  • Show an optional tooltip on hover for terms
  • Show filters as a toggle (opened or collapsed by default)
  • Show or hide the count of items
  • Adoptive filtering: choose whether terms not available must be hidden (as in the free version) or keep them visible but not clickable (only in premium)
  • Variations filtering: make sure variable products are displayed in the filter results only if at least one of the variations matches the current selection, and replace the product image with the one of the variation (New!)
  • Choose to hide empty terms and out of stock products automatically
  • Customize colors and style of filters area through the dedicated “customization” tab (colors, color swatches size, select and checkbox type, etc.)
  • Upload a custom loader
  • Permalinks management: choose to keep permalinks unchanged, change them by adding filtered terms or use a custom user-friendly and shorter permalink (for a better sharing experience!)
  • Use instant AJAX filtering or show a button to apply filters manually without AJAX
  • Choose whether to show filter results on the same page or a new page
  • Compatible with the YITH WooCommerce Brands Add-on plugin
