Why use Shop by Brands on your Magento


Shop by Brand extension for Magento enables you to create separate pages for brands presented in your store and link to them from product pages, thus making it easier for your customers to browse and shop by specific brands. Instead of brands names you can use any category relevant to your store - such as manufacturers, artists, authors, etc. The extension can be applied to any number of single-select attributes simultaneously, so your customers can shop by multiple attributes. So, for example, you can have Shop By Brands, Shop By Color, Shop By Collection and etc. at the same time. This solution has been successfully used by a great number of major online stores for years and it's now available for Magento!

Shop by Brands features:

    Best experience ever with a bought Magento Extension. I bought the extension because I have been using it at other shops and realized what a great extensions this is.

    Great and FAST customersupport. I wrote them an email and had their reply 9 minutes later. What more could you be asking for?!

    I wouldn't be changing it for any other "shop by brand"-copy-extension. If you are serious with your webshop - use ShopByBrands extension from AITOC.

    For our watch webshop www.timetoday.nl we used the AITOC Sho by Brands Module and even made some modifications ourselves to show brand images on the product catelogues on category pages. E.g.: http://www.timetoday.nl/heren-horloges.html.

    We were especially happy with the quick and professional support. We have found out that modules of different companies in a lot of cases have small conflicts and such, but with good help from these parties these conflicts are often fixed in no time.

    So thanks for the excellent code and quick customer support!

    Shop by Brands is one of several modules that we have used on a new Magento web site, and they are all excellent additions that offer much needed functionality.

    Additionally, AITOC has supplied excellent support. The only issues we ran into were caused by our lack of knowledge about Magento and its configuration, yet the AITOC support has been most gracious in finding and educating us about configuration issues that needed to be corrected.

    Thank you AITOC for making our new Magento site shine!

    As usually with AITOC (and before with Adjustware), the extension works perfectly. I really appreciate the way you open your code for us to be able to modify /change/ improve it.

    Just wanna thank you 4 that : I now consider giving you some work ;-)

    Great company to do business with. I purchased several modules during the middle of the night. I did not completely understand how to install them so I sent a tech ticket, expecting a reply in a couple of days, and to my surprise, within 5 minutes I received a tech reply with the offer for them to install the modules for me. Not only do they have great products but amazing service. I will hands down direct any friends or businesses to them.
