<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Help customers find the right fit</h2>
When browsing online, customers often face a tough choice: several products look similar, but which one is truly the best for their needs? Without a way to compare, shoppers get stuck in “analysis paralysis” and may abandon their carts entirely.
Products Compare for WooCommerce solves this by giving your customers a simple, structured way to weigh their options. By letting shoppers line up products side-by-side, you remove confusion and help them feel confident about hitting “Add to Cart.”
<h2>Let customers select products to compare</h2>
<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3113961" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/screen-shot-2018-05-16-at-1-38-45-pm.png?w=620" alt="Compare products on category pages" width="620" height="382" />
With this extension, customers will see the option to compare products directly on category pages. Customers can select the options they’re considering to see important details side-by-side.
On category pages, customers can tick a box or click a button to compare items instantly. Instead of opening multiple tabs or jotting down notes, they can build their own shortlist in just a few clicks.
For example, a clothing store could let shoppers compare different jackets by material, size availability, and customer ratings. An electronics retailer could highlight the differences in features, specs, and prices across competing models.
<h2>Show detailed comparison tables</h2>

<section class="product-compare-details">Once shoppers make their selection, the plugin generates a clean, easy-to-read chart. Key details like:
<ul>
<li>Price</li>
<li>Ratings</li>
<li>Stock levels</li>
<li>Descriptions and attributes</li>
</ul>
…are all lined up in one place. This makes it clear which product delivers the best value, quality, or availability — and gives shoppers confidence to complete their purchase.

<section class="product-compare-placement">
<h2>Add comparison anywhere in your store</h2>
The comparison tool isn’t limited to category pages. Add it to:
<ul>
<li>Sidebars or widgets on product pages</li>
<li>Custom landing pages with curated product groups</li>
<li>Search results or promotional pages</li>
</ul>
Even better: the customer’s comparison list follows them around your store. If they added a product on a category page, they’ll see it again later, ready to compare with anything new they discover.
</section>
<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3113964" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/screen-shot-2018-05-16-at-1-47-07-pm.png?w=620" alt="Compare Products widget" width="620" height="375" />
It doesn’t stop at the category page – any page can include the option to compare products. The products a customer has already viewed will stick around, so they can easily add more options as they find them across your store.

<h2>Offer Shoppers Alternative Products</h2>
When a product is out of stock or no longer available, clients may leave your store without making a purchase. The Alternate Product Recommendations for WooCommerce plugin offers a solution. When products are not available, the plugin offers your customers alternate products to consider. When products are in stock, the plugin offers customers additional products to purchase.
<h2>Benefits</h2>
Customer satisfaction
Offering an alternative product lets your customers know that you care about their shopping experience.
Keep customers shopping and buying
A customer offered an alternative may be interested in that product and may buy it. Hopefully, they will continue to shop on your site instead of leaving in frustration when an item is out of stock.
Reduce cart abandonment
If a customer already has items in their cart and discovers that something they intended to buy is out of stock, they might leave your site. Offering an alternative to keep them on your site will hopefully also lead to them buying the items in their carts and/or the recommended alternate item.
<h2>Features</h2>
1. Alternate Product Recommendation Types
<ul>
<li>No Longer Available – If you choose this option, then you can display only the message saying the product is no longer available/recommend single/multiple alternate products.</li>
<li>Recommend Alternate Product – If you choose this option, then you can recommend single/multiple alternate products.</li>
</ul>
2. Alternate products can be shown in two different designs.
3. Recommended Products can shown in either Carousel/Slider type.
4. Option to display the SKU on Recommended Products.
5. SKU can be displayed Before/After the Product Price.
6. Site admin can track the products viewed & purchases made by this plugin.
7. You can set the threshold to update the visit count if the user views the same product multiple times.
<h2>How does it work?</h2>
<h3>Product no longer available</h3>
<ul>
<li>A user will normally see a notice saying an item is “No longer available for purchase” when they visit the product page of an out-of-stock item.</li>
<li>With the Alternate Product Recommendations for WooCommerce plugin, users will see the same notification with an alternate single item, or multiple items, to consider in its place.</li>
</ul>
