Smart Product Filter Pro for WooCommerce

Smart Product Filter Pro for WooCommerce

Help shoppers find the right products with flexible filters for categories, attributes, price, rating, stock status, sale items, tags and search. Build filter sets visually and place them on your WooCommerce shop and product archive pages.

Smart Product Filter Pro combines AJAX filtering, dynamic product counts, price sliders and attribute swatches with configurable display rules. Supported archives update without a full page reload, while standard page-based filtering remains available when JavaScript is unavailable.

8 Built-In Filter Types

• Product Categories: category lists or dropdowns, child-category support and match-any or match-all selection.
• Product Attributes: filter by WooCommerce attributes such as size, color, material or brand when configured as an attribute.
• Price: numeric ranges, sliders or combined slider and input controls.
• Rating: filter by a minimum rating or an exact rating.
• Stock Status: offer configurable stock-status choices.
• On Sale: show products currently on sale.
• Product Tags: tag lists, dropdowns or buttons.
• Search: search products alongside other active filters.

Combine multiple filters in a single set. Products must satisfy every active filter, while supported taxonomy filters offer configurable matching within their selected values.

Visual Filter Set Builder

Manage filter sets directly under WooCommerce > Product Filters. Add filters from a palette, arrange their order and configure their behavior without editing plugin files.

• Create, edit, duplicate, enable, disable and delete filter sets.
• Reorder filters using drag-and-drop or keyboard controls.
• Configure single or multiple selection where supported.
• Choose available display styles for each filter type.
• Use vertical or horizontal layouts.
• Review field-level validation and sample query previews.
• Receive conflict warnings when another administrator has changed the same set.

---

AJAX Filtering & Shareable URLs

On supported WooCommerce archives, shoppers can refine results without reloading the entire page. Filter selections stay synchronized with the URL, pagination, sorting and browser Back/Forward navigation.

• Automatic AJAX application with debounced search and price changes.
• Apply and Clear controls.
• Canonical filter URLs that can be bookmarked and shared.
• Coordinated filter forms when multiple sets appear on one page.
• Loading states and result announcements.
• Full-page fallback when AJAX fails or the request is unsupported.

---

Price Sliders, Swatches & Dynamic Counts

Choose controls that suit your catalog: category trees, native dropdowns, tag buttons, attribute swatches and price sliders.

• Color and image swatches configured on WooCommerce attribute terms.
• Text choices and native input fallbacks.
• Search within supported facet lists.
• Collapsible filter sections.
• Dynamic counts for available filter choices.
• Price bounds calculated from the relevant catalog selection.

Variable products match a price range when their minimum-to-maximum variation price interval overlaps the selected range, following WooCommerce's native price-filter behavior.

---

Display Rules & Flexible Placement

Control where a filter set appears and where its selections apply. Combine targeting conditions using ALL or ANY matching, with include and exclude rules.

• Target shop and product taxonomy archive contexts.
• Use category descendants and taxonomy-term conditions.
• Apply supported product, user and role conditions.
• Place filters before or after products, in the WooCommerce sidebar or through custom hooks.
• Insert filters manually using a shortcode or the Smart Product Filter widget.

Shortcode examples:

[rspf_filters]
[rspf_filters id="12"]
[rspf_filters slug="shop-filters" layout="horizontal"]

Replace the example ID or slug with your own filter set. Shortcodes and widgets respect the same targeting rules used by the filtering engine.

SEO Controls for Filtered Archives

Manage how active filtered archive pages are presented to search engines. By default, authorized filtered pages use noindex,follow and point their canonical URL to the unfiltered archive.

• Configurable robots and canonical policies.
• Unfiltered pages retain their existing SEO owner.
• Developer hooks for adapting SEO behavior.

---

Optional Product Index

Filtering works through WooCommerce without building an additional index. For supported query scenarios, you can enable an optional SQL product and term index through an explicit rebuild.

• Bounded, resumable index builds.
• Incremental synchronization with WooCommerce product changes.
• Index rebuild, verification and clearing tools.
• Automatic native-query fallback when the index is missing, stale or unavailable.
• WP-CLI commands for maintenance.

Performance depends on the catalog, hosting environment and query. The optional index is not guaranteed to be faster than WooCommerce's native query path.

---

Import, Export & Diagnostics

• Export and import filter sets as JSON.
• Transfer supported taxonomy and product references using slugs and SKUs.
• Import filter sets in a disabled state for review before enabling.
• Regenerate internal identifiers during import.
• Import and export plugin settings separately.
• Review system status and copy a sanitized support report.
• Maintain the product index and preview scoped orphan cleanup.

---

Developer Friendly & Translation Ready

• Extension hooks and registries for custom filter types and renderers.
• Theme template overrides with child-theme priority.
• Permission-protected administration REST API.
• Lightweight storefront JavaScript without jQuery or React runtime dependencies.
• Frontend assets loaded only where filter sets are displayed.
• English interface with a POT translation template included.
• Data preserved on uninstall by default, with optional plugin-data removal.
