Overview
The default WooCommerce display can send customers through several layers of categories and subcategories before they reach any products. This plugin shortens that path. It shows products grouped under their subcategory directly on shop and catalog pages, so visitors can scan the range and spot what they want without extra clicks.
Store owners decide where the nested layout applies: the main shop page, category pages, or both. The plugin also deals with products that sit in several categories or have no subcategory, so nothing gets lost. It works with most WooCommerce themes and the Genesis Framework, and it is set up from the WooCommerce settings with no coding.
Features
- Products grouped by subcategory: Shop and catalog pages list products under their subcategory headings, giving customers a clearer, more organized view of the catalog without opening each subcategory separately.
- Choose where the layout applies: Pick which category pages use the nested layout, on the main shop page, category pages or both, while the rest of the store keeps its normal display.
- Products per subcategory: Set how many products appear under each subcategory, so you can balance a broad overview against more detail to suit your inventory and design.
- Uncategorized items stay visible: Products without a subcategory are placed at the top of the page, so no item is hidden or overlooked in the layout.
- Multi-category products handled: Products assigned to both a parent category and its subcategories are shown in the appropriate nested location, which keeps the listing clear.
- Theme and Genesis compatibility: Works with most WooCommerce themes and the Genesis Framework, so the layout fits into your existing design without complicated adjustments.
- Overrideable architecture: The plugin can be adapted through theme customization and developer tweaks, which helps it fit stores with unique designs and workflows.
- Setup in WooCommerce settings: Options live in the WooCommerce settings, so you can configure the nested layout without writing code.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores with many categories and subcategories
- Store managers who want shoppers to browse faster
- Genesis Framework or custom theme store builders
