Product Dropdown Widget for WooCommerce

This plugin creates a widget to display and link to WooCommerce products by category in a dropdown menu. Visitors to your site will have one-click access to products in your sidebar (or other widgetized areas) without valuable real estate being used up by a regular products list.

Plugin options include the abilities to:

• display all products or just products in a single category
• sort by product name, price, total sales, number of reviews, date published, date last modified, or random
• limit the number of products shown

This plugin is also compatible with the Post Types Order plugin, so you can also sort by your own customized menu order if desired.

With these options you can use this plugin for a variety of uses. You could use multiple instances of the widget to have product dropdowns for each of your categories; you could display the top 5 most frequently bought products in a specific category; you could display the top 20 most reviewed products in your entire store or just in a specific category; and so on.

Note

For sites with a very large number of products, it is not recommended that you display all products in a single dropdown because it would be both heavy on server resources and also just be difficult to use.
