Mobile product compare

The mobile product compare page is a valuable tool which enables the customer to compare up to two products at the same time. The products are displayed with their pictures, descriptions, stock availability, and product-specific attributes in an organized table. The product compare enables customers to easily compare products without navigating to each product page and manually comparing the features of each product. Products can directly be removed from the compare list without leaving the product compare page.
