About Product ComparisonClick to copy 2222

Electro theme supports the Product Comparison section, which allows customers to easily compare similar products before deciding which one to buy. When used properly, it can become an important tool for generating conversions for your store.

The comparison on this section will be shown as a table with various metafield keys of a metafield namespace. To make the Product Comparison section work properly, the Comparison metafield keys and Metafield Namespaces must be filed.
