Integration and configuration

Implementing FacetWP Flatsome integration involves configuring facets in the FacetWP dashboard and embedding them within Flatsome elements. A typical process involves creating a facet (e.g., a checkbox for taxonomy, a range for price), linking it to product data indexing, and then placing a shortcode or widget within the Flatsome design area. To ensure UX consistency, it's worth testing interaction with Flatsome features such as quick view, infinite scroll, and sorting mechanisms.

For performance reasons, it's recommended to use FacetWP's caching mechanisms and optimize FacetWP indexes for large directories. This ensures lightning-fast searches even with large numbers of records.

FacetWP Flatsome integration is a solution that enhances the usability of your store with advanced, intuitive filters that match the style and functionality of the Flatsome theme, improving the shopping experience and supporting the sales goals of your online store.
