Sidebar facets that refresh the shop grid without a page reload.
The [ambikly_filters] shortcode renders an aside with published-category checkboxes, minimum and maximum price inputs, a sort selector (default, popularity, newest, price ascending and descending) and a Reset button. Any change is debounced for 250 ms and sent to GET /ambikly-pro/v1/filtered-products, which returns published products matching the selected category ids, price range and the term in the core shop search box, paginated at up to 60 per page. Popularity is computed from units sold on non-cancelled orders. The script replaces the contents of the element carrying data-ambikly-products-grid with cards that use the same markup as the server-rendered grid, discards stale responses, and shows an error message if a request fails.
Built on the same Addon SDK as every other Pro add-on — extend it instead of replacing it.
GET /ambikly-pro/v1/filtered-productswp_enqueue_scriptsrest_api_initA homeware store lists hundreds of products across kitchen, bath and decor. Shoppers tick two categories and set a price ceiling, and the grid updates in place while they adjust, so they refine the list rather than reloading the page after every change.
A gift store's visitors often shop to a budget. Entering a maximum price narrows the grid immediately, and switching the sort to price low-to-high puts the most affordable items first, all without the shopper leaving the page or losing their category choices.
A shopper on a tool store searches for 'drill' using the core shop box, then ticks the Cordless category in the sidebar. The search term travels with the request, so the grid shows cordless drills rather than every cordless product in the catalog.
Ambikly → Add-ons → AJAX Filters → toggle on. Pro must be active; nothing else to install.
Open its settings panel and set: whether the category checklist is shown; whether the price range inputs are shown; attribute filters toggle (no attribute facet is rendered in the current release).
The storefront surfaces, admin screens and settings it adds are listed under “Where it shows up” above; nothing needs placing by hand unless a shortcode is named there.
Disable the add-on from the same screen. Its settings and data stay in place, and a lapsed license pauses it the same way — the store keeps running.
Drop [ambikly_filters] in a sidebar or column next to the shop grid. The script targets the first element with data-ambikly-products-grid or the ambikly-products-grid class, which the shop, search and archive shortcodes all render, and rewrites that grid in place.
Not in the current release. The settings panel includes an attribute filters toggle, but the shortcode renders only the category checklist, price range and sort selector. Products can be narrowed by category and price, and any search term typed into the shop box is preserved.
The endpoint joins order items to orders whose status is not cancelled or failed, sums quantities per product in one pass, and sorts by that total. Products with no sales sort last. Newest uses the product's created date, and the two price options sort by regular price.
No. Before each request the script reads the value of the core shop search box and passes it as the search parameter, which matches name and SKU. A shopper who searched for 'lamp' and then ticks a category sees only lamps in that category.
