Product slider
Pull products from any of these sources:
- Newest products
- Best selling
- On sale
- Featured
- Top rated
- Manual selection
- By category
Show or hide each element: product image, title, price with sale strike-through, sale badge, rating stars, short description, stock status and an add-to-cart button.
Category slider
- Show all product categories with an optional exclude list
- Sort by name, product count or menu order
- Hide empty categories
- Falls back to the first product image when a category has no thumbnail
- Optional product count per category
Layout and design
- Two card styles: Clean Card and Minimal
- Rounded, square or circle image shapes
- Aspect ratios: 4:3, 1:1, 3:4 and 16:9
- Image Fit. Crop to fill for uniform cards, or show the full image uncropped on a neutral backdrop, ideal for photography
- Content Alignment. Align the card title, price and other text left, center or right
- Max Width. Cap how wide the slider grows and center it, which keeps single-column sliders tidy on full width themes
- Adjustable columns per device, gap, card padding, radius and shadow
- Hover effects: lift, zoom, shine and lift plus zoom
- Section heading, subheading and an optional View All button
Behavior and navigation
- Transitions. Slide, or Fade for one large image at a time
- Arrows, dots, scrollbar, progress bar, slide counter and keyboard control
- Autoplay with delay, loop and pause on hover
- Per-device control over which navigation appears
Block editor integration
The Gutenberg block has a clean two-panel sidebar: a Settings panel for the data source, layout, behavior and navigation, and a Styles panel for card style, colors, shadows and hover effects. A live server-side preview shows exactly what visitors will see.
Shortcode examples
[amitry_slider type="products" filter="newest" count="12"]
[amitry_slider type="products" filter="sale" slides_desktop="4"]
[amitry_slider type="products" effect="fade" fit="contain"]
[amitry_slider type="products" align="center" max_width="1140"]
[amitry_slider type="categories" sort="count"]
All block options are available as shortcode attributes.
Performance
- CSS and JavaScript load only on pages where a slider is rendered
- Optional query caching for product and category queries
- Images are requested at a proportional size, so photos keep their real proportions and no extra crop is generated on upload
- Swiper is bundled locally, with no external CDN requests
WooCommerce compatible
- HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) compatible
- Cart and Checkout blocks compatible
- Works with the latest WooCommerce and WordPress
Go further with Pro
The free plugin above is complete and works fully on its own. The separate Pro add-on requires it and extends it through the public hook API, with nothing removed from the free version.
Viewing and navigation
- Thumbnail strip. A row of clickable thumbnails below the slider, synced with the main image
- Lightbox. An expand button opens a full screen viewer with crossfading photos, a slideshow button, a full screen mode and swipe on touch devices. Each photo links to its product
- Hover Zoom. A magnifier lens follows the pointer and zooms into detail using the original image
- Grid View Toggle. Visitors switch between the slider and a true masonry grid of uncropped photos, with a control for the number of columns
Browsing and scale
- Category Dropdown. A category selector in the section head lets visitors switch category without leaving the page, so the slider can stand in for a shop page. Products load on demand
- Load More. Show one batch and append the next on demand, which keeps large catalogues fast
Selling
- Hover Image Swap. Show the second product image on hover
- Custom Badges. Automatic New and Bestseller badges
- AJAX Add to Cart. Add to the cart without reloading the page
- Quick View. A product preview popup
- Sale Countdown. A timer on products whose sale has an end date
- Wishlist. A heart button with a dedicated wishlist page
- Stock Bar and Low Stock Label. Show scarcity on low-stock products
Premium designs
- Overlay, Circle, 3D Carousel and Masonry
