WooCommerce Ajax Layered Navigation

WooCommerce Ajax Layered Navigation is an official WooCommerce extension that transforms traditional product filters into a layered navigation system with instant AJAX reload. Developed by Kestrel and published by WooCommerce, this tool is specifically designed for stores with extensive catalogs, where customers need to filter by multiple attributes such as color, size, or category without waiting for the page to fully reload.

The extension adds three new widgets to the WordPress panel: WooCommerce Ajax Layered Nav, WooCommerce Layered Nav Filters, and WooCommerce Ajax Layered Nav Clear. The main widget allows you to select the global attribute to display and choose from several display formats: list, dropdown, checkboxes, size selector, and color selector with visual swatches. This flexibility lets you adapt the filtering interface to the style and specific needs of each store.

One of the most notable advantages is the ability to configure the query type as AND or OR. With the AND option, customers can select a single value per attribute, while with OR they can combine multiple values simultaneously, for example, choosing several colors at once. The filters widget displays all applicable attributes and dynamically updates the content so that only products matching the selected criteria appear. Additionally, the clear widget allows users to reset all selections with a single click and view the full catalog again.

This solution is ideal for fashion, electronics, or any business with products that share common attributes. By eliminating the need to reload the page for each filter, search time is significantly reduced, user experience is improved, and cart abandonment rates decrease. Customers find what they are looking for faster and more intuitively, leading to higher conversions and sales for the store.

Installation is simple: just upload the ZIP file from the WordPress admin panel, activate the plugin, and drag the widgets to the desired area. Configuration is accessible even for users without advanced technical knowledge, and color and size selectors are easily customized from the widgets panel.
