ཞིབ་བརྗོད།
Amitry Product & Category Slider is a fast, responsive slider for WooCommerce that lets you showcase products or product categories in a clean, customizable carousel. Build a WooCommerce product slider or a category carousel in minutes with a Gutenberg block, an Elementor widget, or a simple shortcode, with no code required.
Whether you want to highlight featured products on your homepage, scroll through best sellers, or guide shoppers into product categories, this plugin gives you a lightweight, mobile-friendly slider that loads only where you use it.
Why choose this WooCommerce slider
- No code needed – add a slider with a block, widget or shortcode
- Product slider and category slider in one plugin
- Fully responsive – separate settings for desktop, tablet and mobile
- Lightweight and fast – assets load only on pages with a slider
- SEO-friendly – server-side rendered HTML, content visible without JavaScript
- Works with any theme – block themes (FSE) and classic themes
- Translation-ready – ships with a .pot file
Three ways to add a slider
- Gutenberg block – drag the Amitry Slider block into any page or post with a live preview
- Elementor widget – a dedicated Amitry Slider widget appears in the Elementor editor
- Shortcode – drop
[amitry_slider]into any content area
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
- Adjustable columns per device, gap, card padding, radius and shadow
- Hover effects: lift, zoom and shine
- Full navigation set: arrows, dots, scrollbar, progress bar, slide counter and keyboard control
- Autoplay with delay, loop and pause-on-hover
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="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
- Swiper is bundled locally – no external CDN requests
WooCommerce compatible
- HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) compatible
- Cart and Checkout blocks compatible

Go further with Pro
A separate Pro add-on (available at amitry.de) extends the free plugin through documented hooks. Pro adds premium designs (Overlay, Circle, 3D Carousel, Masonry), hover image swap, automatic New and Bestseller badges, AJAX add to cart, a Quick View popup, a sale countdown timer, a wishlist with a dedicated page, a stock progress bar and a low-stock label. The free plugin works fully on its own; Pro requires it and hooks in through the public hook API.
