Quick Start
The shortest path from "installed" to a product gallery you're happy with. Pick the route that fits what you want to do.
Every route starts in the same place: FluentCart → Product Gallery. The settings you choose there apply to every product in your store at once. There's nothing to set on each product.
Two things that trip people up
- Nothing changes until you press Save Settings. The button sits at the top and bottom of each tab.
- On a block theme, do the template step first. If your product pages still show FluentCart's original gallery, the plugin isn't in your product template yet. It takes two minutes: Block themes →
Your first five minutes
- Open FluentCart → Product Gallery. You land on the General tab.
- Under Gallery Layout, click the layout you want. If you're not sure, keep Thumbs Bottom. It's the default, and shoppers know how it works.
- Click Save Settings.
- Open one of your products in a new browser tab and refresh it. That's your new gallery.
- Go back, change one thing, save and refresh again. Working this way, one change at a time, is the quickest way to learn what each setting does.
