3 big Problems of Default Category Page on Magento and Solutions

Cannot compare products with substantial info

At default Magento, shoppers cannot view products in the same criteria hence cannot make comparision exactly. The important information related directly to purchase decision is omitted (such as product description, SKUs, stock status), which makes customers have to click to each interested item and view it individually.

By using the table to show all available product information, stores provide customers the best view on the category page. Thanks to the module, customers make comparisons easily and hence give out the purchase decision quickly.

Problems of Default Category Page

Unable to change product quantity

One more inconvenience of the Magento 2 default category page is that buyers are unable to add a product to cart with a large quantity rather than 1. They, unfortunately, have to redirect to the Product Page to fill in the wished quantity, which wastes time and causes inconvenience.

Allowing customers to add their preferred quantity of any product on the Category page via the Qty box, online stores make the shopping journey of their customers shorten.

Cannot add products to cart in bulk

One more limitation of the default category page is that customers have to add each product to the cart one by one. They cannot select multiple items then add to the cart at once.

But with Table Category View function, after selecting quantity for each product, via one click, customers can add all the selected items to their shopping cart with ease. By this, customers can save much more time and have a better shopping experience on the Category page.

In which, each row illustrates one product and its related information while a column presents a product attribute such as name, price, SKU, review, etc. This interface is much more user-friendly and clear to absorb than the default Magento view. Hence, customers can find their favored items instantly.
