PLP

What Is PLP?

An eCommerce products list page displays multiple products within a certain category, based on the user’s search request. A typical PLP is crucial for any eCommerce store because it funnels visitors closer to the checkout stage, or where they can access detailed product information.

How PLP Looks Like

A PLP includes a web page that is clean, minimal, and highly functional. Besides the product overview, a product listing page design also includes persuasive triggers that can drive the customer to click on individual products.

Why Do Product Listing Pages Important?

A well-optimized PLP eCommerce page helps increase the awareness of your catalog in individual product categories. Typically, users can clearly search and see what is in stock or what is missing. A PLP also maximizes the exposure of your products to increase conversions and drive sales. From here, users can access the product details page on the go and learn more about the item in question.

What Are key Elements of a Product Listing Page?

Product listing pages have four key elements, including:

  • product images and descriptions;
  • category name;
  • filter;
  • facets, as well as breadcrumbs for intuitive navigation.

All these elements enhance the customer experience when optimized.

What Is The Difference Between PDP and PLP?

PDP (product data page) and PLP both enhance user experience and drive sales by maximizing product exposure. However, a PDP gives detailed information about a product in terms of color, size, or even shipping details. On the other hand, a PLP simply displays a list of products within a certain category, based on the user’s search request.
