What is it?

A product grid displays some of your inventory in a grid layout, with one or more rows. 

Below are two different examples of a single-row grid. Note that the first example has overlay badges with quantity in stock, and other info, as well as buttons. The second example does not display badge overlays or buttons.

What are the benefits?

Increase sales of specific products by surfacing them in key areas of the site, such as on the home page.

What are the features and options?

  • Title heading

  • “View all” link to see items beyond the limited number in the grid

  • Various other options regarding the display of the products, prices, and additional info

There are two options for product population:

  1. Automatic via a few different criteria which can be discussed with your designer

  2. Manually via control with product tags in your inventory admin area

How do I use it?

If you choose automatic product population during initial setup of the grid, inventory which fits the search criteria will continually be displayed, so you won’t need to do anything.

If you choose the tag method during initial setup, you will need to manually keep the grid up to date with the products you want to feature, by using product tags.
