Frequently asked questions
Does it require WooCommerce?
Yes. This early version targets WooCommerce products.
Does filtering reload the page?
No. Filtering happens via AJAX, with the URL kept in sync so results are shareable.
How do I add the filter to a page?
Use the [sieve] shortcode or the Sieve Filter block. Both render the facets, the results grid, sorting, active-filter chips and pagination together.
Will it work with my theme?
Yes. The results grid is styled by Sieve itself, so it renders correctly with or without your theme's WooCommerce styles.
Is Sieve an alternative to heavy AJAX filter plugins?
Yes, if your priority is fast WooCommerce product filtering, stable result layouts and accessible controls. Sieve resolves filters from a pre-built index instead of composing expensive live queries after every change.
Does Sieve help with Core Web Vitals?
Yes. It reserves result space, refreshes products in place and avoids full page reloads. That lowers CLS risk and makes filtering feel faster.
Are filter URLs SEO-friendly?
Filter state is stored in the URL, so shoppers can share or revisit a result. Indexing filter combinations should still be controlled by the store to avoid thin pages.
Can I use Sieve on product category pages?
Yes. Sieve can run on category pages and dedicated product landing pages. It works best when facets match real shopping intent, such as size, colour, price, availability and rating.
Are the plugins open source and GPL-licensed?
Yes. Every plugin, free and PRO, is licensed under the GPL. You are free to use, modify and self-host the code on your own sites, and a PRO purchase does not restrict those GPL freedoms. A PRO licence adds automatic updates and product support, not different rights to the code.
Can I try it before buying?
Yes. The free edition is a complete product on WordPress.org, not a time-limited trial, so you can run it indefinitely. It covers the core use case in full, and you upgrade to PRO only when your store needs the advanced features. There is no account or card required to use the free edition.
On how many sites can I use a PRO licence?
Each plan covers a set number of sites: a single site, five sites, or unlimited sites. The licence is tied to your account and determines how many sites receive automatic updates and support. If your store grows beyond your plan, you can upgrade to a larger site count at any time.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. PRO purchases include a 30-day money-back guarantee unless a product page states otherwise. If the plugin is not the right fit, request a refund within 30 days through Freemius support or [email protected]. Refunds are returned to your original payment method.
Who handles payment, invoices and VAT?
Checkout is handled by Freemius, our Merchant of Record. Freemius processes the payment, applies the correct VAT for your country, issues the invoice, and manages renewals. If you have a valid EU VAT ID, you can enter it at checkout to apply the reverse-charge exemption.
Do subscriptions renew automatically?
PRO licences are annual and renew automatically while auto-renewal is enabled, so your updates and support continue without interruption. You can cancel future renewals at any time from your Freemius account before the renewal date. Cancelling stops future charges while your current term stays active until it ends.
What does support include, and how fast is it?
An active PRO licence includes email support for installation, configuration and defects in our own plugins, on a best-effort basis with no guaranteed response time. Support does not cover custom development, theme customisation, or conflicts caused by third-party plugins. For the free edition, community help is available through WordPress.org and GitHub.
Should I test the plugin before using it on a live store?
Yes. We recommend installing and fully testing any plugin on a local copy or a staging environment identical to production, with a current backup, before activating it on a live store. This lets you confirm compatibility with your theme and other plugins without risking your production site. Installing directly on production is at your own risk.
