Product Card
A product card serves as the visual representation of a single product in your catalog. It acts as an individual element designed to be duplicated and displayed in a repeating loop throughout your product listings. Each card typically showcases key information, including the product image, title, price, and any other details you choose to include. There are two distinct types of product cards:
Grid Product Card
This layout is used when you select the Grid type in your catalog settings. It organizes products in a neat, grid-like arrangement, making it perfect for showcasing multiple items in an attractive and orderly fashion.
The Grid Product Card offers two distinct tabs for customization:
Templates Library: Choose from a variety of pre-designed grid templates included with the theme, or modify any of them.
User Templates: Create custom grid layouts or modify existing ones, the modified pre-made templates will show under this list here.
List Product Card
Style and design the appearance of product cards in the list view.
List Product Card offers two tabs for customization:
Templates Library: Choose from a variety of pre-designed list templates included with the theme, or modify any of them.
User Templates: Create custom list layouts or modify existing ones, the modified pre-made templates will show under this list here.
Creating a Custom Template
If you want to create your own custom template instead of using any of the pre-made templates, or if you’re editing an existing template, follow these steps. Below, each element available for customization is explained in detail.
1. Access the User Templates Tab
Start by accessing the User Templates tab under the Grid Product Card or List Product Card section.
2. Click + Add Button
Click the + Add button to begin creating your custom template. Each time you want to add a new element, you'll need to click the + Add button again.
3. Add Elements to Your Template
Select and add elements such as Row, Title, Image, and Price to build your template. Remember, once an element is added, it will be automatically hidden from the elements list, as it cannot be added twice (except for rows). You can drag and drop elements to nest them, reorder them, or adjust their layout.
4. Name and Save Template
In this example, we used three simple and crucial elements: Image, Title, and Price to create an effective product card layout. Once you’ve arranged all the elements, provide a name for your template. This will help you easily identify it later. After naming your template, save it to ensure your work is not lost.
5. Publish Changes
Finally, publish the changes in the customizer to view your new template live on your site.
Each template has the following options shown as icons
