]]>Thanks to our new premium integration, you can also create WooCommerce product tables that update automatically and have “Add to Cart” functionality.
The main benefits wpDataTables provides to its users are more time (as it automates displaying data on a website) and no need to learn to code.
We did the heavy lifting of coding, so you can enjoy the beautiful tables and charts in just a few clicks.
The Best WordPress Table Builder
Our table builder serves an important purpose – creating simple WordPress tables from scratch. But don’t worry, these tables can be as simple or as complicated as you want as you can now merge cells, style each cell differently, add star ratings to cells, media and so much more.
Our main goal was to build a table & charts plugin with looks and functionalities. It’s similar to Excel but for WordPress websites & it’s less complicated.
Here is the list of features in those simple tables:
- Merge cells
- Excel like editor
- Responsive mode
- Add/Remove columns and rows
- Resize/Reorder columns and rows
- Cell custom formatting
- Font family and font size
- Undo/Redo
- Add star rating
- Custom links
- Add media
- Custom HTML editor
- Shortcode in cells
- Border options
