New Plaza theme component

The Plaza theme now offers a new Product Groups component that allows customers to select two or more product groups (for example, a specific category of products) and showcase it on their homepage. This new component enables visual merchandising of key categories of products for consumers to browse through, which industry research has found essential in driving conversions.

This component is available for the Home Page of the Plaza theme.

The component can use the Storefront Builder to display the following information from one or more product groups that the Marketplace Manager chooses to promote:

• Product group (category, attribute, product line)
• Description (or custom text entered in Storefront Builder)
• Image/Icon upload
• CTA label (CTA to redirect to listing page, or another specified URL)

The component offers three main style choices (Card, Graphic, and Horizontal) in three sizes (small, medium, large). It also includes new styling options:

• Adjust column and row spacing
• Display a border or a shadow when the cursor hovers above a card)

Feature enablement

For non-customized themes based on Plaza, no feature enablement is required.

For customized themes, you must install the latest version of the Storefront Toolkit component library, update the theme, and upload and publish the theme.

Setting enablement
