Shopping Carousel is a WordPress plugin that lets you build beautiful, swipeable product carousels without writing a single line of code. Create carousel items with images, prices, titles, and custom call-to-action buttons, organise them into folders, then embed any folder as a fully responsive carousel using a simple shortcode.
Build Your Carousel in Minutes
Adding items is straightforward. Navigate to Shopping Carousel → Carousel Items in your WordPress admin, click Add New, and fill in the item name, image, price, button text, and button link. Each item can belong to one or more folders, giving you complete control over which products appear in each carousel.
Organise With Folders
Folders act as named collections of carousel items. Create a folder for a product category, a seasonal promotion, or a curated selection, then embed it anywhere on your site using the shortcode [shopping_carousel folder="your-folder-name"]. Free users can create one folder; Pro users get unlimited folders.
Swiper-Powered Responsive Slider
Every carousel is powered by Swiper.js, a battle-tested slider library used across millions of websites. Carousels adapt automatically to any screen size, displaying the right number of slides on desktop, tablet, and mobile without any configuration required.
Pro: Autoplay and Slides Per View
Pro users can enable autoplay on any carousel, keeping products in motion and drawing visitor attention. The slides per view setting lets you display one, two, or three items at a time, giving you precise control over the carousel layout to match your page design.
