About this plugin
FacetRoute adds configurable WooCommerce product filters built around clear URLs, predictable filter transactions, and conservative SEO handling.
Help shoppers narrow a catalogue by category, tag, global product attributes, price, and stock — while keeping applied filter states easy to understand, share, and revisit.
Why FacetRoute?
Shareable filtered URLs
Every applied filter state uses a regular URL that can be copied, shared, bookmarked, and revisited.
Include or Exclude values
Keep products that match selected terms, or exclude selected terms from the result. The mode is controlled inside the relevant filter.
SEO-aware filtered states
For genuine configured filter states, FacetRoute outputs noindex, follow and a canonical URL pointing to the clean base catalogue or archive. Invalid, unavailable, or inactive filter parameters do not activate this handling.
Two clear ways to apply filters
Use Quick apply to work within one filter at a time, or Apply filters to stage changes across several filters and commit them together.
Responsive storefront UI
FacetRoute includes desktop controls, an All Filters view, and a mobile filter drawer. Theme / Native mode is designed to inherit the visual language of the active store theme.
Flexible placement
Use automatic placement, the [facetroute] shortcode, the facetroute/filters dynamic block, or the FacetRoute widget on supported WooCommerce product listings.
Useful admin diagnostics
The Diagnostics screen helps identify common setup and compatibility conditions without requiring remote telemetry.

URL-first filtering
21 uses native URL navigation rather than an AJAX filtering layer. Applied states remain ordinary shareable URLs and browser navigation stays part of the filtering model.
Privacy
FacetRoute does not include telemetry or remote usage tracking.
