The Soft Solid Hidden Inactive Variant Filters (ss_filter_hidden) add-on for CS-Cart and CS-Cart Multi-Vendor enhances the product filtering experience on your online store. By hiding inactive filter options when a user selects a specific filter, it helps keep the filtering process clean and efficient, improving the user interface and overall shopping experience. Here's an overview of its features and functionality:
Key Features:
- Optimized Filters:
- The add-on allows for more efficient product filtering by automatically hiding inactive filter options when the customer selects a filter.
- When users choose a filter option, only the relevant, active filter options are shown, eliminating unnecessary choices and improving the user experience.
- Cleaner Interface:
- With inactive options hidden, the filter interface looks cleaner and more organized. This helps avoid overwhelming the customer with too many options, making navigation easier.
- Improved Usability:
- As a result, customers can more easily refine their product searches by only seeing options that are applicable to the current selection, leading to a smoother shopping experience.
- Enhanced Store Efficiency:
- By hiding irrelevant filter options, it prevents the customer from getting confused by options that don’t correspond to any available products, improving overall website efficiency.
Installation & Configuration:
- Installing the Add-on:
- Using the Add-on:
- When a customer selects a filter on a product page (e.g., color, size, brand), the inactive filter options (options that no longer apply based on previous selections) will be hidden.
- This results in a dynamic filtering system that adapts as the customer narrows down their product selection.
Example Scenario:
- Before Activation:
- If a customer selects "Color: Red," the filter for "Size" might still show all available sizes, including those that are not available for red products (e.g., "Large" might not be available in red).
- After Activation:
- Once the add-on is enabled, if "Color: Red" is selected, the filter options for "Size" will update to show only sizes available for red products. Any irrelevant size options (like "Large" if it’s not available in red) will be hidden from view, making the page cleaner and more user-friendly.
Benefits:
- Improved Customer Experience:
- Customers will not waste time selecting filter options that lead to no results, streamlining the shopping process.
- More Focused Product Search:
- Customers can focus only on the filter options that matter, helping them find products faster and more efficiently.
- Cleaner and More Organized UI:
- The user interface becomes less cluttered with irrelevant filter options, offering a more intuitive and pleasant shopping experience.
- Reduced Bounce Rate:
- A cleaner interface with fewer irrelevant options can lead to customers spending more time on your site, reducing bounce rates.
