How Do I Add a Slider to My WooCommerce Shop?

Last updated on January 19, 2023 @ 1:52 pm

Adding a slider to your WooCommerce shop is a great way to showcase your products and increase conversion rates. There are a few things you need to keep in mind when adding a slider to your WooCommerce shop, such as placement and size.

When it comes to placement, you want to make sure the slider is placed prominently on the page, above the fold. This will ensure that visitors see it when they first land on your site.

As for size, you want to make sure the slider is large enough so that visitors can see the images clearly.

Now that you know where to place and how big to make your slider, let’s take a look at how to actually add one to your WooCommerce shop.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to add a slider to your WooCommerce shop, be aware that there are some potential risks and issues that you may encounter.

First, remember that sliders can slow down your page loading time, so be sure to test your page speed before and after adding a slider, and make sure the trade-off is worth it.

Second, when adding a slider or any other element to your WooCommerce shop, be sure to thoroughly test it on all browsers and devices to ensure it looks and functions as intended. Otherwise, you risk losing visitors and sales.

  1. The first thing you need to do is install and activate the WooCommerce Product Slider plugin.
  2. Once the plugin is activated, you’ll need to create a new slider. To do this, head over to Products > Sliders and click on the “Add New Slider” button.
  3. On the next screen, you’ll be able to give your slider a name and select which products you want to include in it.
  4. Once you’ve selected the products you want to include in your slider, click on the “Publish” button to save your changes.
  5. Now that your slider is published, it’s time to add it to your WooCommerce shop page.
  6. To do this, head over to Appearance > Widgets and add the “WooCommerce Product Slider” widget to the “Main Content” widget area.
