  • Carousel: Products appear in a horizontal slider with optional animation. Great for showcasing featured items or creating a dynamic browsing experience

Sub Template: Select the option, Bootstrap 5. Create alternate layouts for this module within your Joomla! template's /html/mod_j2commerce_products folder. The module will then pickup the new sub-template auto-magically.

J2Store menu ID:

Select J2Commerce menu ID for display products (Not required). If you have at least one menu item with type as J2Store > Product list view, the links on the product will take the ID of that menu. If you don’t have a menu, then the link will use the non-sef url for the title and image on the product.

If you wants to use sef url, then create at least one menu item with type J2Store > Product list view and then choose this menu in this option.

Max Number of Columns: The maximum number of columns when displayed as a grid. Product items will flow into the next row when the number of items exceeds the number of columns. Set to 0 to disable grid layout. Ignore for carousels.
