About this plugin
TravelKit Trip Comparison for WP Travel Engine lets travellers compare your WP Travel Engine trips side by side, decide with confidence, and book — no coding required.
Help travellers choose faster, and book more of the traffic you already have.
Most travellers don’t hesitate because your trips aren’t good — they hesitate because they can’t tell them apart. TravelKit Trip Comparison lets visitors line up your WP Travel Engine trips side by side, see exactly how they differ, and pick the one that fits. Fewer open tabs, fewer abandoned carts, more bookings.
The plugin adds a lightweight “Compare” button to your trip cards, a sticky tray that follows visitors as they browse, and a clean side-by-side view — a full comparison table on desktop and swipeable cards on mobile. It reads your real WP Travel Engine data automatically, so there’s nothing to duplicate or maintain by hand.

Privacy
TravelKit Trip Comparison stores anonymous comparison events in your WordPress database (event type, trip IDs, and a coarse device class: mobile/desktop). No names, emails, IP addresses, or cookies are stored with these events, and nothing is sent to WP Travel Kit or any other third party.
Rate limiting stores a short-lived hash of the visitor’s IP address in a transient. It is never written to the events table and expires automatically.
Events older than 24 months are deleted automatically. Uninstalling the plugin drops the events table.
