Add a floating, sticky WooCommerce product category sidebar so shoppers can browse your shop from any page — no theme edits required.

UserElements

<p><strong>Floating Product Category for WooCommerce</strong> adds a sticky category panel to your online store. Shoppers tap a floating button to open a full product category menu from anywhere on your site — shop pages, product pages, blog posts, or landing pages.</p>
<p>Help customers find products faster, reduce bounce rate, and improve WooCommerce navigation without touching your theme or writing code.</p>
<h4>Why use a floating category sidebar?</h4>
<p>Most WooCommerce themes bury category links in the main menu or hide them on mobile. A floating category button keeps your product catalog one click away on every page, which helps shoppers discover categories they might otherwise miss.</p>
<h4>Key features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Floating sticky category button</strong> — fixed on the left or right edge of the screen</li>
<li><strong>Slide-out category panel</strong> — opens over the page without a full reload</li>
<li><strong>Unlimited sub-category nesting</strong> — accordion expand/collapse for deep category trees</li>
<li><strong>In-panel category search</strong> — filter long category lists instantly</li>
<li><strong>Active category highlighting</strong> — shows the current category and auto-expands its branch</li>
<li><strong>Breadcrumb trail</strong> — context on category and shop archive pages</li>
<li><strong>Display targeting</strong> — all pages, shop & product pages only, or everywhere except Cart & Checkout</li>
<li><strong>Remembers open/closed state</strong> — panel state persists as shoppers browse</li>
<li><strong>Two layouts</strong> — simple text list or category cards with thumbnail images</li>
<li><strong>Product count</strong> — optional count next to each category name</li>
<li><strong>Product tags & brands</strong> — optional flat lists below categories (WooCommerce Brands supported)</li>
<li><strong>Preserve shop filters</strong> — optionally keep price and rating filters when switching categories</li>
<li><strong>Keyboard accessible</strong> — Escape to close, click-outside to close, ARIA states</li>
<li><strong>Fully customizable</strong> — colors, position, layout, and behavior via the WordPress Customizer</li>
<li><strong>No theme changes</strong> — works with any WooCommerce-compatible theme</li>
</ul>
<h4>Perfect for</h4>
<ul>
<li>WooCommerce stores with large or deeply nested product category structures</li>
<li>Shops that want mobile-friendly category navigation without a hamburger menu rebuild</li>
<li>Store owners who need category access on non-shop pages (home, blog, landing pages)</li>
<li>Sites using product tags or WooCommerce Brands alongside categories</li>
</ul>
<h4>Customization</h4>
<p>All settings live in <strong>Appearance <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Customizer <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Floating Product Category</strong>. Change background and text colors, button style, float position (left or right), layout, category order, maximum depth, empty-category visibility, and where the panel appears — with live preview.</p>
<h4>Performance</h4>
<p>The category tree is built from a single cached query, so large catalogs stay fast even with many parent and child categories.</p>
