Adds a compare button to product cards and a side-by-side comparison table.
Adds an 'Add to Compare' button to shop-grid cards and the single product page through the ambikly_product_card_actions and ambikly_product_detail_actions filters. Clicking it toggles the product id in an ambikly_compare cookie that lasts seven days and holds at most your configured maximum; when the list is full the oldest id drops off. A floating tray lists the chosen products with remove buttons and a Compare button that activates at two items. That button calls GET /ambikly-pro/v1/compare, which returns published products with image, price, sale price, SKU, weight, dimensions and summary, rendered as a side-by-side table inside the [ambikly_compare] container or appended to the page.
Built on the same Addon SDK as every other Pro add-on — extend it instead of replacing it.

Shoppers pick two to four models from the grid and read them side by side instead of opening tabs, which shortens the path to a decision.
A furniture store's customers care about dimensions above all. The compare table lists length, width and height for each chosen piece in one row, so a shopper can check which desk or shelf fits the wall they have measured before adding it to the cart.
During a promotion a shopper on a kitchenware store collects several similar items and opens the table. Regular and sale prices sit in adjacent rows, making it obvious which product carries the bigger reduction without reading each product page in turn.
Ambikly → Add-ons → Product Compare → toggle on. Pro must be active; nothing else to install.
Open its settings panel and set: maximum products to compare (minimum 2, default 4); label on the trigger button and tray.
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.
As many as your Max products setting allows, with a floor of two and a default of four. When a shopper adds one more than the maximum, the oldest selection is dropped rather than blocking the click, so the tray never fills up permanently.
Yes. Product ids are stored in an ambikly_compare cookie that expires after seven days, so the tray repaints with the same products on every page during that time. Nothing is written to the database for the selection itself.
If the page contains the [ambikly_compare] shortcode, the table renders inside it and the page scrolls there. If not, the script appends a container to the end of the page so the table still appears. A dedicated compare page gives the cleanest result.
Image, name, price, sale price, SKU, weight, dimensions and the short description. Dimensions are built from the product's length, width and height fields, so they display as, for example, 30 x 20 x 10. Unpublished products are excluded from the table.
Pro is $199 a year or $549 once, for all 35 add-ons. Enable this one from the same admin the day you need it.
