A product carousel is a great way to showcase products on your WooCommerce store. By creating a product carousel, you can highlight multiple products at once, and give your customers an easy way to browse through your products.
There are a few different ways that you can create a product carousel in WooCommerce. One way is to use the built-in carousel functionality that is available in the WooCommerce Product Editor. Another way is to use a plugin or extension, such as the WooCommerce Product Carousel plugin. Or, you can use a custom code solution.
Let’s take a look at how to create a product carousel in WooCommerce using each of these methods.
Method 1: Using the Built-in Carousel Functionality in the WooCommerce Product Editor
WooCommerce comes with built-in carousel functionality that you can use to showcase products on your store. To use this functionality, simply edit a product in the WooCommerce Product Editor and scroll down to the ‘Product Data’ section.
In this section, you will see an option to ‘Enable product carousel’.
Once you enable this option, you will see some new options appear, such as ‘Carousel layout’, ‘Carousel columns’, and ‘Carousel image size’. These options allow you to customize how your carousel looks and functions.
Once you have customized these options, simply click ‘Update’ to save your changes. Your product carousel will now be visible on your store.
Method 2: Using a Plugin or Extension
If you want more control over your product carousels, or if you want to create carousels that are not tied to specific products, then you can use a plugin or extension. There are many different plugins and extensions available for creating carousels in WooCommerce.
One popular plugin is the WooCommerce Product Carousel plugin. This plugin allows you to create standalone carousels that are not tied to specific products. This means that you can showcase any products that you want in your carousels, and you can display multiple carousels on your store.
Another popular option is the WooCommerce Product Carousel Extension. This extension allows you to create both standalone carousels and product carousels that are tied to specific products. This means that you have complete control over which products are displayed in your carousels.
Method 3: Using Custom Code
If you’re comfortable with code, then you can also create product carousels using custom code. This method gives you complete control over how your product carousels look and function.
