After installation/activation, a checkbox and Compare Products link appear underneath the Add to Cart button. Ticking the box will add that product to the Compare list and clicking the icon link will redirect you to the Product Comparison page.
Configuration
There is nothing to configure. It works out of the box!
Widget
We included a Compare Products widget that can be displayed anywhere widgets are allowed. It shows a running list of products that can be compared or removed from this list.
Template Override
Default templates are in place to display the Compare Products page. If however for any reason you would like to modify it to your needs, you can easily do that by copying the template file you want to modify from
wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-products-compare/templates/
and pasting it in this location
wp-content/themes/YOUR-THEME/woocommerce-products-compare/
This way any changes you make will not be overwritten when the plugin gets updated. However you should take that one step further and create a child theme and put the template file in there so if your theme gets updated, your changes are not lost. You can learn how to create child themes here Create Child Theme.
