Quick view, image zoom, and hover effects can enhance your store's shopping experience by making it easier for customers to view and interact with products.

Image Zoom

Image zoom lets customers examine product details more closely by enlarging product images. Available on:

  • Product details pages
  • Quick view lightboxes

Hover Effects

Best Practices:

  • Maintain high-quality product images

These features work together to create an engaging shopping experience while helping customers make informed purchase decisions.
