Ultimate WooCommerce Expandable Categories

Long category lists can take up space and make it harder for shoppers to see how products are organized. This plugin displays multi-level WooCommerce categories as an expandable accordion menu, so visitors can browse a product hierarchy without keeping every subcategory open at once. It is designed for online stores with nested categories and can work with WooCommerce-compatible themes without changing their existing styles.

The menu can mark the active category and automatically open its parent categories when a shopper views a child category, preserving the context of the current page. The plugin also supports WooCommerce Gutenberg block widgets and category widgets with product counts. Responsive behavior and SVG icons help the category menu display across screens, including mobile devices.
