Overview

WooCategory helps you display by filtering specific WooCommerce Categories aesthetically in a sliding manner. You can show your product categories with thumbnail, child category, description, shop now button. The plugin has simple and easy to use shortcode generator interface with many handy options which will help you to customize and manage WooCommerce Categories and its content easily without coding.

A WooCategory is one of the best ways to highlight your specific product categories and, if put in the strategic or right position, it will certainly allow you to increase the conversion rate in your shop or site. WooCategory is free, rapidly growing and comes with great support.

Why WooCategory is important?

In a WooCommerce store or shop, there are many products and their categories. Generally, the product categories are not highlighted well in the store. That’s why your potential customers can’t understand what categories of products are being offered or sold in your shop.

WooCategory lets your visitors find the category they are looking for without struggling and looking all over the WooCommerce store or site. You can show more product categories at the same time and let them scroll automatically in a slider or show in grid or block view so that your prospective customers can see them all. This makes your shop or site look much more professional, clean and sharp in your customers’ eyes.

If you can showcase your product categories in the strategic spots of your store or site, it will effectively increase the conversion rate and achieve the goal!

I first purchased a category slider from PluginEver it did much the same as the shaped plugin. Both left the original categories from my theme. THE DIFFERENCE was that PluginEver refused to offer support. Pulak at Shaped Plugin gave me custom css to customise the sliders.

What a treat to come across a plugin that does so much and is easy to use. It adds so much polish and prestige to my client’s website. I upgraded to the Pro Version because of the plugin’s design flexibility. I had one small support need unique to my eCommerce website, and their team communicated immediately to help unravel the conundrum. It was a Wordpress-based issue, not necessarily the plugin, but the support group indicates they will develop a «fix» in the rare event other users encounter it.

I first downloaded the free version of the Product Slider and was so impressed with the plugin’s capabilities and superior support; I purchased the Pro version and have been more than satisfied. Looking for a plugin to now organize my categories, I immediately downloaded the Category Slider for its functionality and the superior support I knew I would receive. This group goes above and beyond helping to solve issues unique to my website’s design when incorporating use of their products. And they’re so fast to respond! Whenever I need some other function to incorporate into my website(s), I will go to this company first to see if they have what I’m looking for. Thank You!
