Excellent Support and Solution
We needed a replacement product & custom post type filter and this one knocked it out of the park! It simply works great and does exactly what we need it to do. We love the builder you use to design the cards as well. Support shines on this one and when updates are needed, it happens quickly! Well done.

CAF Builder is just awesome
I’ve been using this plugin mainly for product filtering, and I’m really impressed with the CAF Builder. I used it to build a product listing with the filters I needed, and the whole process was much easier than I expected. What I really liked is how much you can customize. There are so many options available that I was able to set up the listing and filtering exactly the way I wanted without feeling restricted by the plugin. The functionality is also really rich. It’s not just a basic product filter where you get a few checkboxes and that’s it. There are a lot of options to play around with, especially when you’re building a more customized product listing. For me, CAF Builder is probably the best part of the plugin. It gives you a lot of control while still being fairly easy to work with. Really happy with how it turned out.

Best plugin, best support!
I had a great experience with the support team. They were quick to respond, knowledgeable, and took the time to understand the issue I was having with the plugin. They provided clear instructions and helped me get everything working properly. It’s refreshing to receive support that is both professional and genuinely helpful. Great plugin, excellent customer service, and a team that stands behind their product. Highly recommended!

BOO for restricting features you've included for years
Yes, I've been using the free version, but it was enough. Now with the update to 3, you restrict filter shortcodes to only 1? Boo.

Excellent AJAX Filter Plugin, Powerful and easy to use
It works with custom posts and taxonomies and AJAX filtering is so fast and without page reload. The customisation options are too flexible, allow you to create professional filter and listing without writing a single line of code. I would rate in one of the best filter plugin on the internet.
