Select images to display

Featured Image

The Featured Image serves as the primary visual representation of your product. This section includes:

1. Proportion: The Featured Image has five shape options: Square, Vertical Landscape, Horizontal, Original, and Custom Sizes. If you select the custom size option, you can enter the image’s desired width and height.

2. Image Scale: You can select from two scaling options:

• • • Fill Image: This option resizes or stretches the image to match the size of the outer container.
    • Fit Image: This choice scales the image to fit the outer container while preserving its original aspect ratio.

3. Hover Effect: Select an effect to apply to the main product when it is hovered over. By default, no effect is applied. You have the option to choose between the Default (No effect), Zoom, and Hover effects.

• • • Zoom: The Zoom effect allows viewers to magnify your product images when they hover their mouse cursor over them. Once you have chosen the Zoom effect, additional customization options will become available. You can select the Zoom Style, either the default style or a zoom through a glass effect. Afterward, you can adjust the slider to achieve your desired Zoom value.
    • Show other image: This option enables the display of an alternative image when users hover their mouse over the primary image. If you select this option, you will need to select one product image from the dropdown menu

4. Click Effect: You can determine the action that occurs when a user clicks on the image. It can either do nothing, trigger a pop-up displaying the image in a larger size, or redirect the user to the relevant product page.

5. Corner: This option allows you to choose whether the Featured Image has sharp corners or a circular shape.

6. Drag to Scroll: You can enable this feature to allow customers to slide to the next image using their mouse.

7. Loop: Activate this option to make the slider start from the beginning after reaching the final image.

8. Navigation: This option enables you to add navigation arrows on your product images and choose where they’ll appear.

• • • Choose Icon: With this setting, you can swap out the navigation arrows with a different icon from our library to fit your style.
    • Icon Color: Pick a color for the navigation icon that matches your design.
    • Nav. Color: Choose a color for the navigation arrows that blends seamlessly with your page.
