How to show Magento 2 Configurable Products via table grid

Do you know that, on average, three over four shoppers abandon their shopping cart in all industries? And one of the top causes of this number is “the complexity and time-consuming purchase process” as researched by Statis.com.

For Magento 2 stores and who are selling a number of configurable products, you properly need to optimize the customer shopping experience by offering them the most simple and user-friendly product page view. Via this blog, we hope that you can have a solution for displaying your configurable products smarter by the extension Configurable Product Grid View for Magento 2 websites.

How configurable products are shown in Magento 2 default

In the Magento 2 default, a configurable product is shown with multiple options’ attributes in the filter row or on the drop-down list. Choosing a child product requires shoppers to select and filter each attribute manually. This process is time taking, especially, in case that buyers suddenly navigate to another page then come back to the product page to shop, they absolutely have to configure from the beginning to choose their favored items again.

As a consequence of this limitation, your store may face a higher abandonment rate. You can wonder why? It’s simple. The selection of configurable products is time-consuming and frustrating if they need to be repeated, so it is likely that customers feel impatient and leave the store site without making the purchase. This is one of the most popular causes of an increase in the abandonment rate of Magento 2 stores.
