WooCommerce settings control shop columns, the shop sidebar, the product gallery, the mini cart and product buttons. They are at AppearanceCustomizeTheme SettingsWooCommerce. The section appears when the WooCommerce plugin is active. Set up the store itself at WooCommerceSettings.

The WooCommerce section of Theme Settings in the Polestar Customizer, with the shop in the preview

Products Per Row

Sets the number of products per row on shop archive pages. The default is 3. The range is 2 to 5.

With 5 products per row, the Quick View and Add to Cart buttons do not show.

Shop Sidebar Position

Places the shop sidebar on the left or the right. The default is Left. The sidebar shows on the shop and product archive pages, not on single products, and only when the Shop Sidebar widget area has widgets.

Product Gallery

Sets the gallery on single product pages. The default is Gallery Slider + Lightbox.

  • Gallery Slider shows the image slider only.
  • Gallery Slider + Lightbox opens an image in a lightbox on click.
  • Gallery Slider + Zoom zooms into an image on hover.
  • Gallery Slider + Lightbox + Zoom adds both.

On a new site the lightbox stays off until you save this setting. Pick an option in the Customizer and click Publish.

Mini Cart

Displays the WooCommerce mini cart in the header menu. Off by default. With Max Mega Menu or UberMenu active, Polestar hides it.

Quick View

Displays a Quick View button when visitors hover over a product on archive pages. On by default.

Add to Cart

Displays an Add to Cart button when visitors hover over a product on archive pages. On by default.

Set Up Cart and Checkout Pages

Keep visitors focused on the sale. Edit the Cart and Checkout pages and set Page Layout to Stripped in the Page Settings box. Stripped replaces the menu with a Go back link and removes the sidebar.

On the My Account and order tracking pages, use No Sidebar or Constrained.
