WooCommerce Nested Category Layout

WooCommerce Nested Category Layout is an official WooCommerce extension developed by SkyVerge that transforms the way product categories and subcategories are presented in your online store. Instead of forcing customers to click repeatedly through categories and subcategories to find a product, this plugin displays products organized by category and subcategory directly on the shop page and catalog pages, creating a much smoother and more intuitive browsing experience.

This extension is especially designed for stores with extensive catalogs and complex category structures, where a flat product listing is no longer efficient. With Nested Category Layout, customers can see products grouped under their respective subcategories in a single view, significantly reducing the number of clicks needed to reach the desired product. This not only improves user satisfaction but also reduces the site abandonment rate, as barriers that hinder purchasing are removed.

Among its main features, it stands out the ability to select which categories will be displayed in nested format and which will remain in the traditional format. You can also easily configure the number of products displayed per subcategory on the shop and catalog pages, as well as decide whether the nested layout applies only to the shop page, only to category pages, or both. If a product has no assigned category, it will be displayed at the top of the page, followed by the organized categories and subcategories.

The plugin intelligently handles products that belong to both a parent category and a subcategory, displaying them under the corresponding subcategory. Products that only belong to a parent category are shown under that category's name before subcategories appear. Additionally, category and subcategory names function as direct links to their respective pages, allowing customers to delve deeper into the catalog when needed.

Nested Category Layout is compatible with WooCommerce themes and the Genesis framework, and its flexible, overridable architecture allows advanced customizations to adapt to additional themes and frameworks. Configuration is simple: after installing and activating the plugin, you only need to organize your products into categories and subcategories, and adjust the options from WooCommerce > Settings > Products. In a few minutes, you'll have a visually organized catalog that facilitates navigation and improves your customers' shopping experience.
