Smart Product Badges
Go beyond the standard Sale badge. Create New, Best Seller, stock status, stock quantity and discount badges with value or percentage display. Each badge comes with its own conditional logic.

Adam Jeet
It works with custom posts and taxonomies and AJAX filtering is so fast and without page reload. The customisation options are too flexible, allow you to create professional filter and listing without writing a single line of code.
Sholiboli
I bought a (quite cheap) lifetime PRO licence and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the plugin, none of the other plugin that I’ve tested come close. You can choose one of already nice default filter/posts layouts or customize even further it based on your needs…..
