Are you looking for a way to create a WooCommerce Product Carousel using Elementor? Then, you’ve landed on the right page! This detailed guide will show you how to create an interactive WooCommerce product carousel slide on your WordPress site.
Before starting our tutorial, let’s first look at some benefits of showcasing online products in carousel sliders.
What Is a Product Carousel?
Product carousel is a great way to showcase your products in an interactive manner.
By displaying your products in a carousel format, you can provide a smooth shopping experience to your prospective buyers. In addition to viewing all the items in one place, they can select multiple products simultaneously.
Product carousels are particularly useful for eCommerce sites where you have multiple items of different categories to choose from. For example, suppose you’re selling clothes or furniture in your online store. In that case, you can use carousel sliders as an effective marketing tool by highlighting different options with different prices and allowing customers to slide products left or right according to their preferences.
A product carousel will also give users a visual overview of each product so that the visitors can quickly decide which interests them most. This helps them make informed decisions about what products they want when purchasing online at your website.
Now that you have learned the perks of displaying products in a carousel format let’s proceed to our tutorial.
How To Create a WooCommerce Product Carousel Using Elementor
Despite Elementor Pro’s extensive functionality and options, it can sometimes be challenging to build and customize WooCommerce websites with Elementor.
To extend Elementor further, you can use Elementor addons that offer dedicated widgets for WooCommerce.

Woo Product Grid Widget supports both Carousel and Grid modes, so switching between the layouts is easy. Along with the customized layouts, you get Add-to-Cart and Quick View features, which help you offer your site visitors an impeccable shopping experience from your e-store.
Also, you get a Query feature to fetch & filter Woo products based on multiple parameters.
Furthermore, you get a feature to display customized Product Badges. Displaying sales badges helps capture customers’ attention and immediately increase sales.
So, let’s see how you can customize your WooCommerce product page and display your products in carousels using Elementor and PowerPack Woo – Products Widget.
Step 1: Install & Activate Elementor, WooCommerce, and PowerPack Addons
To get started, you need to install and activate:
Step 2: Drag and drop the Woo – Products Widget
Once you have installed and activated all the plugins, create a new page or open an existing one using the Elementor editor.
Now in the editor, search for “Woo – Products” and drag and drop the widget onto the page.
As soon as you drop the Woo – Product widget, the products appear immediately. On the left, you’ll see three tabs: Content, Style, and Advanced. Our primary focus will be on the Content and Style tab options.
Step 3: Customizations in the Content Tab
The Content tab offers options for adding and customizing content. Let’s take a look at each option individually.
1. Layout
In the Layout section, you get options to customize and set the layout of the products’ display.
- Skin: In the Layout >> Skin, you’ll find 5 different stylish pre-built skin options for your product display. You can choose any skin option that fits your existing store look and brand preference.
Each Skin Type offers a different style and features to enhance the display of WooCommerce products.
- Layout: Next, you need to choose the Carousel layout.
As you can see in the above image, the Woo—Product widget has two layout options: Grid and Carousel. Since we’re creating a WooCommerce Product Carousel, we’ll choose the Carousel layout.
When you select the layout, your products will be displayed in a carousel slider. You’ll also get the following options to customize the layout:

Next, you get advanced settings for your carousel sliders. These options give you complete control over the carousel’s navigation behavior.
The options are:

By using this feature, prospective customers can view single product details directly on the product page.
Step 4: Customizations in the Style tab
Once you make customizations in the Content tab, head over to the Style tab.
