How Do I Add a Zoom Effect in WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 12:57 am

Adding a zoom effect to your WooCommerce product images can make them appear more professional and increase customer engagement. There are a few different ways to achieve this, and the best method will depend on your specific needs.

One way to add a zoom effect is to use the WooCommerce built-in lightbox feature. When enabled, this will cause product images to open in a lightbox when clicked. You can enable the lightbox feature by going to WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Display and checking the box next to “Enable lightbox.”

Another way to add a zoom effect is through a plugin or theme. Many plugins and themes offer image zoom features, so you’ll need to check with your specific plugin or theme documentation to see if this is an option. If it is, you’ll likely just need to enable it through the plugin or theme settings.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with code or do not feel comfortable editing your theme files, we recommend finding a WooCommerce expert to help you add a zoom effect to your WooCommerce site. Adding a zoom effect can be tricky and if not done correctly, could break your site.

Finally, you can also add a zoom effect manually by editing your WooCommerce template files. This is more complex and should only be attempted if you’re comfortable with code.

You’ll need to add some CSS to your stylesheet and some JavaScript to your product page template. For detailed instructions, see this article on adding an image zoom effect in WooCommerce.

No matter which method you choose, adding a zoom effect to your WooCommerce product images can give them a more polished look and help increase customer engagement.
