Creating a Product Slider Widget
Note. The Branded Product Slider is automatically generated upon integrating with Shopify or WooCommerce. You can adjust which products to show by following the Customizing the Slider section or skip to the Embedding a Product Slider Widget to the Store section directly.
To create a product slider widget follow these steps:
- While logged in to your TrackMage account, go to the Widgets on the left slide menu.
- Click the +Add Widget button and select the Product Slider icon.
- Give the widget a name by typing into the Widget Title field, then press the +Create Product Slider button to complete the creation.
Customizing a Product Slider Widget
To customize and modify your product slider widget follow these steps:
- On your TrackMage account, navigate to the Widgets on the left slide menu.
- Select the widget you want to customize (you can have multiple widgets on a paid plan).
- Click on the Widgets Builder button.
Product Slider has three options for adjustment:
1. Slider Items
You can add, edit, customize, and delete items in the product slider.
1.1. Add Items to the Product Slider.
You can add products to the slider via two different approaches: adding single products or bulk product uploads.
1.2. Add Multiple Products Via the Add Items.
You can import your product feed into the slider items. Your product feed should be in the Facebook Product Feed XML format (check Step 1 of this article to prepare the feed).
1). Select Slider Items > Add Items Feed on the Widget Builder.
Your product feed should include the following fields:
Required:
Product Title - the name of the product;
Image URL - the URL for the main image of the product;
Slider Item Link - the link to the item’s specific product page on your store’s website where people can buy the item.
Optional:
Regular Price - regular price of the product;
Discounted Price - the discounted price of the product.
2). Upload the Product Feed URL and click Verify.
Note. For a valid and correct product feed, you will get two green ticks, Valid and Accessible. If any of them is incorrect, you should confirm again that the product field is the same as Facebook’s product feed format, and the links start with HTTPS or HTTP.
1.3. Add single Product.
1). On the Widget Builder, click on the Add New Slider Item.
2). Fulfill the following fields and click Add New.
Required:
Product Title (1) - the name of the product;

Discounted Price (5) - the discounted price of the product.
1.4. Reorder Items.
You can change the order of items on the slider using the up and down arrow keys for each item, except the first and last. Click an arrow to move an item up or down, or drag items to reorder them. Press the Save button to record the position of items.
1.5. Edit Items.
You can edit any item in the product slider, including its title, price, image, and link. To edit, click the edit icon next to the item and then click Save to record the changes.
