Do you want to add a little extra flair to your WooCommerce store? A great way to do that is by creating a slideshow.

Slideshows are a great way to showcase your products or highlight special deals and promotions. Plus, they add a touch of professionalism and sophistication to your store.

Creating a slideshow in WooCommerce is easy and can be done in just a few minutes. In this article, we’ll show you how to create a slideshow in WooCommerce step by step.

First, you need to install and activate the Meta Slider plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Once the plugin is activated, click on the ‘Meta Slider’ menu item in your WordPress admin sidebar and then click on the ‘Create New Slider’ button.

On the next screen, you need to enter a name for your slider and select the type of slideshow you want to create. For this tutorial, we’ll be using the Flex Slider which is the most popular choice.

PRO TIP: This article provides instructions on how to create a slideshow in WooCommerce. However, it is important to note that this feature is only available in the paid version of WooCommerce. If you are using the free version of WooCommerce, you will not be able to create a slideshow.

Once you’ve selected the type of slideshow, it’s time to add slides to your slideshow. You can add images or videos as slides. To add an image slide, click on the ‘Add Image Slide’ button.

This will open up the WordPress media uploader where you can upload or select an image from your media library. Once you’ve selected an image, click on the ‘Insert into slider’ button.

You can then add a title, caption, and alternate text for your image slide. Once you’re done, click on the ‘Add Slide’ button to add it to your slider.

You can repeat this process to add more slides to your slideshow. Once you’re happy with your slides, it’s time to configure some settings for your slideshow.

On the ‘Config’ tab, you need to select where you want to display your slideshow. You can choose to display it on specific posts or pages only or across your entire website including your homepage, blog archive pages, product pages, etc.

You can also choose how many slides you want to display at once and how fast you want the slides to transition. If you want more control over these settings, then we recommend checking out our guide on how to create an image gallery in WordPress.
