CMS: Displaying Your Wix Stores Products on Any Page
12 min read
Showcase your Wix Stores products in a gallery, repeater, or table on any page such as your Home or Cart page. The CMS (Content Management System) allows you to dynamically link the buttons, images, or table columns to your Product Page. Customers can click to navigate to the Product Page where they can learn more before deciding to purchase.
You can also link buttons, images, and columns to the Add to Cart action or the Quick View window. Use the settings in the dataset that binds your products to the page elements to filter, sort, or limit the total products displayed.
Before you begin:
- Create your own products in Wix Stores.
- Make sure to add the CMS to your site if you haven't already.
- Enable Wix app collections so you can use Wix Stores with the CMS.
Step 1 | Add a Pro Gallery, repeater, or table to a page
