Products Slider (Theme)
The Products Slider (Theme) Block displays a carousel of products using your theme’s native WooCommerce product template, combining the interactive slider experience with your store’s consistent product styling.
Overview#
Block Name: Products Slider (Theme)
Category: RedFox Thank You
Purpose: Display a product carousel using theme-native styling
Available In: Pro
What It Does#
This block:
- Displays products in a Swiper-based carousel using your theme’s WooCommerce product template
- Automatically inherits your theme’s product card styling, buttons, and layout
- Provides full slider controls including autoplay, navigation arrows, and pagination dots
- Supports the same flexible product sourcing as the Products Slider block
- Ensures the thank you page products match the look and feel of the rest of your store
When to Use#
Use This Block When:
- You want a product carousel that matches your theme’s WooCommerce styling
- Maintaining visual consistency with the rest of your store is a priority
- Your theme has well-styled product templates you want to reuse in a slider format
- You want the slider functionality without managing product card styles
Use Products Slider Instead When:
- You want full control over product card styling (colors, typography, spacing, borders, shadows)
- You need custom sale badge styling
- You want to style product images, titles, and prices independently
Use Products Grid (Theme) Instead When:
- You want theme-styled products in a static grid layout instead of a carousel
