Electro How to use Electro Featured Product

Theme: Electro · Section type: All-template section


The Featured product section shows one product with its images, price, variants and Add to cart button on any page. Use it to promote a best seller or a new launch, so customers can buy without opening the product page.


Note: You can add this section to any template, but not to the header or footer. Each section shows one product.
