Introduction

Everything you need to set up clear specification and comparison tables on your Shopify store — explained step by step, no technical knowledge required.

What does the app do?

Specs & Compare helps you present product information in a way that is easy to read and easy to compare. It adds three kinds of elements to your store:

  • Specification tables show the technical details of one product — for example the battery life, weight and connectivity of a pair of headphones — organized in clear groups.
  • Comparison tables place several products side by side, reusing the same specifications, so shoppers can see the differences at a glance.
  • Dynamic comparison Pro plan adds an “Add to compare” checkbox to product cards. Shoppers pick the products they hesitate between and get a comparison table instantly.

All tables are rendered by your theme, so they are fast, mobile-friendly, accessible and readable by search engines.

How is the documentation organized?

The documentation follows the order in which you will use the app:

  1. Getting started — install the app and learn the basics.
  2. Specification tables — design the structure of your tables: which information you want to show, and for which products.
  3. Products — fill in the values for each product and choose which products to compare.
  4. Show on your store — add the tables to your theme.
  5. Dynamic comparison, Appearance and Translations — go further.
  6. Developers — build fully custom experiences with Liquid, CSS and JavaScript.
