Sales, New & In Stock Filters

Most online stores offer hundreds or even thousands of products in their catalogs. If you sell only 10 products, then you do not need this extension. But if it's not your case, then visitors of your website spend a lot of time searching for product they need. Visitors don't want and don't need to examine the entire catalog because viewing of the whole range of products takes too much time and effort. The buyers are always trying to narrow down the search based on their preferences.

Sales, New and Stock Filters extension for Magento expands "faceted search" (also known as "layered navigation") with 3 very useful filters. The extension adds these filters automatically to catalog pages ('anchor' category only) and to the catalog search page.

"On Sale" filter

Filter products by sale so that the only products on sale were displayed. As you know, discounts and promotions increase the attractiveness of your store and stimulate the interest of buyers, increasing demand, and sales. Your discounts can work better with On Sale filter - make it visible! This filter is based on product attribute 'Special Price'. 'Special price from & to' date options are also supported by our Sales, New and Stock Filters Magento extension for Layered Navigation.

"New" filter

Filter products by new collections. With this filter, users can make sure that only new products are displayed. This filter is based on the "Set Product as New from / to Date" product attribute. Native "Catalog Price Rules" feature of Magento is also supported by our Sales, New and Stock Filters Magento extension for Layered Navigation.

"In Stock" filter

Add the ability to hide products which are currently out of stock. If you decided not to hide out-of-stock products from your catalog, then you definitely need a filter that will allow users to hide such products.
Tip: Magento platform allows hiding all out-of-stock items from the catalog. To do this, you need to go to the System> Configuration> Inventory, and set the Display Out of Stock Products option to No.

Our filters will be displayed only when they are needed. For example, if there are no discounted products in the category (no products matching Sale filter), then the "On Sale" filter will be hidden.

Your visitors will also see how many products will be displayed if you apply the filter.

FAQ

After installing the extension my store gives an error or a blank page.
Go to Magento Backend, Flush Store Cache (System > Cache Management> 'Flush Magento Cache' button), Logout and Login again. 

I've configured everything correctly, but your filters do not appear at frontend.
Please make sure that the extension and its options are enabled. Flush your Magento cache storage (System > Cache Management > 'Flush Magento Cache' button) and try again. Our extension is tested and should work correctly with native layered navigation. If you use some 3rd party Layered Navigation there can be conflicts.
