What is YITH WooCommerce Compare Premium?
YITH WooCommerce Compare Premium is a professional WooCommerce extension that lets shoppers compare similar products side-by-side in a clean, customizable comparison table. By highlighting differences in price, attributes, availability, and other key specs, it shortens decision time, improves UX, and supports higher conversion rates—especially in stores with many closely related items.
Key Advantages
- Reduce buyer confusion with quick, side-by-side comparisons.
- Keep shoppers engaged on product and category pages with always-visible compare entry points.
- Showcase the most persuasive specifications and features for each product type.
- Create focused, “ad-hoc” comparison tables for campaigns, landing pages, or PDPs.
Premium Features
Flexible Compare Triggers & Placement
- Display the Compare action as a button, link, or checkbox on shop and/or product pages.
- Choose to open the table as a full page or an overlay modal, and decide if it appears on first/second add or only on click.
- Optionally allow comparison only within the same category and limit the maximum products per table to keep results meaningful.
Sticky Compare Bar (UX Booster)
- Show a sticky bar at the bottom of the page listing selected items and providing one-click access to the comparison table—perfect for long browsing sessions on mobile.
Highly Customizable Comparison Tables
- Decide which fields (image, name, price, add to cart, rating, description, SKU, attributes, etc.) appear and drag-to-reorder rows.
- Highlight differences automatically with a contrasting background color.
- Fix columns (e.g., the first product) for easier horizontal scrolling on smaller screens.
- Show custom attributes, use a dynamic list of attributes (hide attributes that don’t apply), pick short or long descriptions, set image format/size, and replace In stock/Out of stock with icons.
- Add a “Clear all” reset action for quick table cleanup.
Purpose-Built Shortcodes & Widgets
- Build custom comparison tables for chosen products and embed them anywhere (home, PDP, landing pages) using table shortcodes with Wide or Compact layouts.
- Use the Compare button shortcode inside page builders and the Counter shortcode to show how many items are in the list.
- Add widgets for Products in the list and Compare Counter to sidebars, headers, or footers.
Social Sharing & Merchandising
- Enable social sharing of the comparison table (Facebook, X, Pinterest) or via email with customizable titles/texts.
- Related products slider under the table encourages discovery of alternatives with category/tag matching, optional arrows, and autoplay.

Smart Catalog Controls
