Melody Jaimon • Jul 01, 2022

You have free reign over the appearance of your eCommerce store, including the widgets and layout. By personalising the design and atmosphere of your store, you can enhance the presentation of your products to customers.


If you want the products from the product gallery widget to link to the store, you must include the Main Store widget on at least one page of your site. If not, when a customer clicks on a product, they will receive a 404 error.

This option will not be available if your store does not have categories.


Here are the steps on how to add store categories to the main site navigation:

  1. Click eCommerce on the editor’s side panel.
  2. Select one of the following options from the Add category pages to site navigation drop-down menu:
  • Do not add option excludes category pages in site navigation.
  • Beside site pages option includes category pages as top-level navigation pages. To determine where to place the category pages in the site navigation, select an option from the Where do you want to place them drop-down menu.
  • As subpages option includes category pages in the navigation as subpages of a specific page. Select a page from the Add as subpages drop-down menu.

Add Store Widgets

Store widgets may be moved or removed from any page of your site by dragging them like any other widget. For further information, see Add Widgets.

You can display up to 100 categories and subcategories in your store. For instance, if you have 10 categories and each of them has 50 subcategories, only the 2 categories with the 50 subcategories will be displayed.

Single Product Page

Using the Design Editor, you can also edit elements on the pages for a single product. You can choose from different layouts to display items on each product page. You can also change elements such as text location and how thumbnail images are laid out. With these new customisation, you can showcase your products in the best way possible.

Product Filters

  2. Select Settings, and then click Product Filters.
  3. Click Enable Filters.
  4. Choose the filter you wanted to present.

FAQs

  • Is the editor I use for my store’s design new?

    If your store's Design Editor was created before September 24, 2017, you have the option to update it. If you update the widget, an automated backup of the site will be created. This upgrade will only affect the store's Design Editor; it will not change any features in your store.


    If you created your store after September 24, 2017, or if you have updated the widget already, you have to access the new Design Editor.

  • What if I refuse to update my widget?

    You are not required to update your widget. You can use the previous widget editor as well.

  • What happens if I reload a backup or use the undo feature?

    When you reload a backup or undo while updating an existing store, you must re-update the widget. Keep in mind that if you opt to update the design editor, an automated site backup will be created.

  • How can I update the text on the buttons and labels in my store?

    Unfortunately, the Website Builder does not provide any option for this.
