How Do I Show Product Filters in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 3:30 pm

WooCommerce Product Filter is an extension that allows customers to filter products by categories, attributes, price, tags, and other product data. It is a powerful tool that can greatly improve the user experience on your WooCommerce store.

However, it can be tricky to set up. In this article, we will show you how to show product filters in WooCommerce.

What are product filters?

Product filters are a way for customers to narrow down the products they see on your WooCommerce store. For example, if you have a store that sells both shoes and clothes, a customer could use a product filter to only see shoes. Product filters can be based on any piece of data that is associated with a product, such as price, category, attribute, or tag.

Why use product filters?

Product filters can be a great way to improve the user experience on your WooCommerce store. Customers will be able to find the products they want more easily, and they will be less likely to get frustrated and leave your store without making a purchase. Product filters can also help you to increase sales by making it easier for customers to find the products they are looking for.

How to show product filters in WooCommerce

There are two ways to show product filters in WooCommerce. The first is to use the default WordPress widgets, and the second is to use a plugin. We will show you both methods below.

  1. Using WordPress widgets

WooCommerce Product Filter comes with two widgets: “Filter Products by Attribute” and “Filter Products by Price”. These widgets can be found in the “WooCommerce” section of the WordPress widget area. To add these widgets to your WooCommerce store, simply drag and drop them into the appropriate widget area.

  • In the “Filter Products by Attribute” widget, you can choose which attributes you want to display. You can also choose whether to display a checkbox or radio button for each attribute. If you have multiple attributes with the same name (for example, color), you can choose how they are displayed by selecting the “Group by name” option.
  • In the “Filter Products by Price” widget, you can choose whether to display a slider or text input for prices. You can also specify the minimum and maximum prices that should be displayed.
  1. Using a plugin

If you want more control over how your product filters are displayed, you may want to consider using a plugin. There are many plugins available that allow you to customize the look and feel of your product filters.

Some plugins also offer additional features such as the ability to filter products by multiple criteria at once or save filter settings as presets.

One plugin that we recommend is WooCommerce Product Filter. This plugin offers all of the features mentioned above, and it is easy to use and customize.

PRO TIP: If you are using WooCommerce to sell products online, it is important to make sure that your product filters are set up correctly. Otherwise, your customers may not be able to find the products they are looking for.

Another plugin that we recommend is WooCommerce Ajax Product Filter. This plugin allows customers to filter products without reloading the page, which can improve the user experience on your store.

Conclusion

Product filters can be a great way to improve the user experience on your WooCommerce store. They can also help you increase sales by making it easier for customers to find the products they are looking for. In this article, we showed you two methods for showing product filters in WooCommerce.
