WooCommerce Compare List plugin adds ability to easily compare products of your WooCommerce driven shop.
== Description ==
### WooCommerce Compare List Plugin ###
The plugin adds a simple and easy to use and setup products compare feature. Compared products are shown on front end as an aggregate table of all products attributes. Users will easily compare products and make their choice. You can also use **products-compare** shortcode to embed compare tables and **WooCommerce Recent Compares** widget to help your users to get back to their compares.
### SEO friendly ###
The plugin uses endpoints technique to build SEO friendly URLs for compare page. The compare page will have following URL:
**http://{yourdomain.name}/{compare-page-slug}/{endpoint-slug}/{product_id}-{product_id}-{product_id}-{etc}/**
This approach allows users to share their compare lists between their friends to help them choose a product.
For an eCommerce website, fast page loading speed is a must. Slow websites decrease your conversion rate and hurt Search Engines rankings, you should take a look at our beginner's guide on how to find the <a href="http://www.codeinwp.com/blog/fastest-wordpress-hosting/">fastest WordPress hosting</a> for your WooCommerce website.
### Use shortcode ###
You can use **[products-compare ids="..." atts="..."]** shortcode to embed compare table into your posts or pages. It will give you ability to write neat product review stories where you can compare different products.
Use **ids** attribute to enter comma/space separated list of products id, which should be displayed in the compare table. The **atts** attribute allows you to filter attributes list which should be displayed in the table. Enter comma separated list of attribute slugs which you can find at product attributes page.
