Bookmarks and Compare feature
If the shop is used in the Pro version, a Bookmarks and Compare feature is available.
Bookmarks
If the Bookmarks feature is activated via TypoScript constants, a Bookmarks button can be used for list items and in the individual product view. The TypoScript constants can also be used to set the maximum number of products that can be added to the Bookmarks.
If no frontend-user is logged in, the bookmarked products are simply saved in the session (via a session cookie). As soon as a frontend-user is logged in (from version 5.1.0), the bookmarked products are persisted in the database of the frontend-user. This means that if the user logs in again later, their bookmarked products will definitely still be there.
Also starting with version 5.1.0, there's the option to activate a "Search in Bookmarks" tool in the list filter. If the user now has many products on their Bookmarks, they can search through them using all available filters.
Compare feature
Once the user has bookmarked products, they have the option to compare them using a compare feature. This is basically a table in which the products are compared. The shop compiles an array with all product data, which is then simply rendered into a table using Fluid. If you want to exclude fields or information here, you can use the TypoScript constant themes.configuration.extension.shop.bookmarks.compare.fields.exclude and simply list all the fields that should not be displayed.
TYPO3 Shop
This extension is an extensive shop for TYPO3 for realizing Webshops, Online-Shops or Payment-Subscriptions (comparable with tt_products, Quick-Shop or Aimeos).
