<h2 style="color: #f5247d"><b>Help customers find the right fit</b></h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.”</p>
<h2><b>Let customers select products to compare</b></h2>
<p><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" /></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2><b>Show detailed comparison tables</b></h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-3113963" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/screencapture-avivas-test-site-local-products-compare-2018-05-16-13_38_59.png?w=620" alt="Comparison tables from Products Compare" width="620" height="596" /></p>
<section class="product-compare-details">Once shoppers make their selection, the plugin generates a clean, easy-to-read chart. Key details like:</p>
<ul>
<li>Price</li>
<li>Ratings</li>
<li>Stock levels</li>
<li>Descriptions and attributes</li>
</ul>
<p>…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.</p>
</section>
<section class="product-compare-placement">
<h2><strong>Add comparison anywhere in your store</strong></h2>
<p>The comparison tool isn’t limited to category pages. Add it to:</p>
<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>
<p>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.</p>
</section>
<p><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" /></p>
<p>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.</p>

<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Always sell the right products together</h2>
<p><strong>Force Sells for WooCommerce</strong> ensures required items, services, or fees are added with the main product automatically. That means fewer missed parts, fewer confused customers, and cleaner orders. Use it when certain items aren’t optional, when compliance requires an add‑on, or when you want to remove decision friction at the cart.</p>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Why this matters</h2>
<p>Customers often overlook essentials and support teams chase corrections later. Force Sells prevents lost revenue, avoids re‑shipping missing parts, and keeps checkout simple. Shoppers get everything they need in one step, and your operations stay tidy.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1490346" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/forcesells-datapanel.png?w=620" alt="Force Sells data panel" width="620" height="269" /></p>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Who it’s for</h2>
<p>Force Sells is designed for merchants who need certain products and services purchased together every time. It’s ideal when items can’t stand alone, when bundling protects margins, or when you want to remove guesswork for customers. Here’s a list of examples:</p>
<ul style="line-height: 1.8em">
<li><strong>Repair services:</strong> add required parts (e.g., replacement glass with iPad screen repair) so jobs are complete and margins are protected.</li>
<li><strong>Bike shops:</strong> include an installation fee with custom wheels/components so labor is always covered.</li>
<li><strong>Cosmetics brands:</strong> include a reusable pump with the first purchase of a refillable product to ensure product usability.</li>
<li><strong>SaaS or digital products:</strong> link a one‑time setup/onboarding fee to a subscription to reflect true delivery cost.</li>
<li><strong>Pet stores:</strong> bundle a starter kit with the first aquarium to reduce returns and support tickets.</li>
<li><strong>Training providers:</strong> attach course materials to each class registration so learners have what they need day one.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="color: #f5247d">Two ways to link products</h2>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-secondary">
<li><strong>Normal force sell:</strong> products are added with the main item in matching quantity. Shoppers can remove or adjust them if needed.</li>
<li><strong>Synced force sell:</strong> products are locked to the main item. They can’t be removed or edited separately; quantity and removal always follow the main product.</li>
</ul>
<p>In the cart, synced items are clearly marked as “linked,” so customers understand why those items move together. This clarity reduces confusion and follow‑up support.</p>

<h2 style="color: #f5247d">When to use Force Sells vs other options</h2>
<p>Choose <strong>Force Sells</strong> when the extra item is required every time. If you want to offer optional add‑ons or flexible bundles, consider Grouped Products or Product Bundles instead.
