Reduce your shopping effort by using Magento Shortlist Extension

eGrove’s Magento shortlist extension is a module that provides your Magento store customer with a means to compare the products chosen by him. This article shows what it is all about.

Have you ever shopped without a list? The list could be something that you scribbled on a piece of paper or something that is there in the back of your mind. It doesn’t matter. When we are shopping for a mobile phone or a top end LED TV, we as humans tend to rely on a physical or mental check-list. We tend to go line by line checking for different factors like, price, available features, and discounts if any. If we are satisfied with most of the factors, then we go ahead with the purchase. This is true in the case of any electronic item that has a list of features to compare with.

Shopping online is something very similar to what we would do otherwise. The difference is the ease with which the store does most of the things that we do manually.

How the Magento Shortlist extension works

The Magento Shortlist Extension provides your customer with a means to capture items of interest in a short list and then compare them on the basis of their different features. The customer needs to click on ‘Add to compare’ to get the products into the list. Once the customer is done selecting the products he can start comparing by clicking on ‘Compare’. This takes the customer to the comparison page that lists each of the brands side by side with the features and the prices compared. If he is satisfied with one particular brand, then he can go ahead with its purchase or go back to the product catalog to form a different list.

How it helps

The Magento Shortlist extension, even though its name suggests a simple short list function, does far more than that. Instead of letting the shopping cart hold your customers’ products, the extension short lists those products. It is a simple module or widget that can hold an unlimited number of products. Each product link in the widget can expand to a detailed product page. It also provides a product slide-show option that can give details on the product.

The Magento shortlist extension though a lightweight and simple module adds a great and convenient means of shopping for a customer by listing out his desired brands easily and then comparing them without having to go back and forth checking for features in each product.

It is simple... yet powerful!
