Price Compare – Cost Comparison WordPress Theme

A comparison site lives on the clicks it sends, not on what it displays

Building a price comparison site often ends up as a slow catalog, with listings loaded by hand and no idea which store brings clicks and which one just takes up space. Price Compare is designed for that business: affiliate stores, imported products and visitors who want to reach a price quickly.

One thing is worth keeping clear: what you actually offer is not the website, it is the visitor's path to the store. That is why the theme focuses on speed with many affiliates, on search and on measuring every click, which is the data you can later show a store when negotiating with it.

Price Compare depending on who installs it

If you are starting with a few stores

You can add stores from the admin area, edit them and see how each one performs. The demo content and the one-click demo let you start from a site that is already built instead of a blank page.

If you already have partners who want to join

There is a frontend store registration form, with the way it works explained, so partners can sign up themselves without you typing their details. You can also create unlimited custom price packages, and the theme integrates five payment methods: PayPal, Stripe, Skrill, iDeal and bank transfer.

If you work with affiliate networks

It includes import parsers for different affiliate networks and a feed import that can be scheduled with a cron job.

What the visitor sees: searching, comparing and heading to the store

• Category mega menu with advanced ajax search, to reach a product from mobile, tablet or desktop without scrolling through whole listings.
• Grid or list: you and your users can switch how products are displayed with one click.
• Single product page with three variations to choose from.
• One slider per category: you can create as many as you want and link each one to a different category.
• Click tracking of users, with analytics per store and per product.

To bring visitors back, it includes social networking integration and MailChimp subscription, useful for announcing offers or news to people who already know you.

Design, language and code to adapt it to your brand

You can create unlimited homepage templates and color variations, choose from more than 600 Google Fonts and adjust the rest in the theme options. There are custom shortcodes and widgets, RTL support and .po and .mo files to translate the site. It is built with Bootstrap and Sass, includes a child theme and PSD files, and is compatible with the Yoast SEO plugin. If you are going to touch the styles, it helps to know some Sass.

Frequently asked questions about Price Compare

Is it suitable for a regular online store?

That is not its focus: it is made for sites that compare prices and send traffic to external stores through affiliation.

Do I have to load products one by one?

Not necessarily: there is feed import with a cron job and parsers for different affiliate networks.

Can I see which stores work best?

Yes, the theme records users' clicks and offers analytics per store and product.

Can it be used in other languages?

Yes: it is ready for translation with .po and .mo files and supports right-to-left writing.

You bring the feeds and the stores

The theme provides the structure, but it does not come with stores, feeds or agreements with affiliate networks: you have to get those. It is also not a guarantee of ranking: it is compatible with Yoast SEO, but traffic depends on your own work.
