The category page is a place full of choices, and sometimes users get stuck spending what seems like all day there browsing for the ideal promo product. Now they don’t have to! With so many customizable thumbnail options and filtered navigation, shopping has never been more simple or fun. Help them find the right products with ease! Keep reading to learn how.

Number Of Product Thumbnails Per Page
With our new templates, YOU are in control! We know how pointless it can feel to scroll through an online store only to click “Next Page” and see one lone product on that page. In our new templates, you can display from ten all the way to fifty items per page to ensure that nothing important is cut off! Now you are able to manually choose the number of products you wish to have on each page. Whether you want to display ten or fifty per page, or maybe just ensure that your last item isn’t the only one on a full page, you can make sure shoppers find exactly what they’re looking for with our new templates.

Number Of Product Thumbnails Per Row
Like we said, you will always be able to manage your online stores the way you want to in our new templates. To take it one step further, we are introducing the ability to create a custom number of product thumbnails per row (up to five) on the Category page, as well as in the Featured Products section of your store. While exploring thumbnail options, there are so many other pieces you can personalize as well such as text color, image border color, hover color, background color, and so much more. You can also customize your product thumbnail height! This setting determines the size of your thumbnails on the category page.

Filtering Navigation
When creating these new templates, our Design Team wanted them to be streamlined and modern, yet effective! The best way to do this was by far adding sleek filters on the left side of the page. They are out of the way enough for shoppers to enjoy browsing available products, while also being easily accessible to explore based on size, color, price, alphabetical order, and more. With the slick new dropdown filter, shoppers can find and choose products based on exactly what they need. For example, if they need a blue button down shirt in a size small, they can view all colors available in a size small which enables them to locate their desired product more quickly than going through the entire store. And what’s more, the new filter pops out on a mobile device so shoppers don’t have to squint and zoom in to make a selection. A site shoppers can navigate effortlessly without any difficulty is a site they will want to keep coming back to over and over again. And that’s a win for you!

As you can tell, the Category Page options in our new templates are all about one thing – efficiency. The filters make the storefront more polished and professional, while the customization options make it easy for you as a Distributor to deliver exactly what your Client is looking for. All of these features combined make the shopping experience incomparable, which makes your shoppers want to keep coming back over and over again.
