How to Customize a Product Gallery in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 13, 2023 @ 2:27 pm

When it comes to displaying products on your WooCommerce store, the default product gallery is a great way to showcase what you have to offer. However, you may find that you want to customize the product gallery to better suit your needs. Fortunately, WooCommerce makes it easy to do just that.

To start, log into your WordPress admin panel and navigate to WooCommerce > Settings. On the Products tab, you will see a section labeled Product Images.

Here, you can select the image size that you want to use for your product gallery. WooCommerce offers three different sizes by default, but you can also add your own custom sizes if needed.

Once you have selected the image size that you want to use, scroll down to the Gallery Settings section. Here, you can choose whether or not to enable the WooCommerce lightbox.

The lightbox is a great way to display larger versions of your product images without having to leave the page. However, if you prefer not to use it, you can simply disable it here.

In the Gallery Settings section, you will also see an option labeled Enable zoom. This option allows your customers to zoom in on product images when they hover over them. If you have high-resolution images, we recommend enabling this setting so that your customers can get a closer look at what they’re buying.

Finally, scroll down to the Display Settings section and choose how many images you want to display in the product gallery. By default, WooCommerce displays all of the images that are attached to a product. However, if you only want to display a handful of images, you can change this setting accordingly.

Conclusion

The default product gallery in WooCommerce is a great way to showcase your products.

However, if you want to customize it to better suit your needs, WooCommerce makes it easy to do so. Simply log into your WordPress admin panel and navigate to the WooCommerce > Settings page. On the Products tab, select the image size that you want to use for your product gallery and then scroll down to the Gallery Settings, Display Settings, and Product Image Watermarks  sections where you can make additional changes.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with code or are not comfortable working with code, do not attempt to customize a product gallery in WooCommerce. Doing so could break your site.
