Imagine if your customers didn’t have to visit a separate product page every time they wanted to check out a product. They could see product details right from the page they’re on and avoid going back and forth between the store and product pages.
Sounds convenient, right?
This is exactly what a quick view feature on your WooCommerce store can do.
It allows shoppers to view product images, features, and prices from the shop page through a popup window. This way, they can see if they like the product and add it to their cart or simply close the popup and continue browsing items.
That’s not it. By making product surfing and shopping fast and hassle-free, the quick view feature can also help you improve customer experience and increase your store sales and revenue.
Although a pretty useful feature, WooCommerce doesn’t have any default settings to enable a quick view button in your store.
The good news is that there are some great quick view plugins you can use to add this functionality to your shop and optimize it for sales.
We’ve done the legwork and compiled a list of seven of the best WooCommerce quick view plugins you can use for your online store. Let’s dive in!
