Featured products on the home page

The home page has rows of products with a heading, for example New in or On sale. Each row shows products from one category and links to the whole category. The new arrivals category fills itself: products added in the last few days go in, and old ones drop out automatically.

1. Prepare the category

Catalog › Categories

1. Create a category, for example New arrivals. If you do not want it in the menu, switch off Include in Menu.

2. In the Display Settings section, under Display Mode choose Products only and switch on Anchor.

3. Click Save. Note down the category number (ID), shown in the heading above the form.

2. A category that fills itself

Stores › Configuration › Magelan › New Products Category

1. In the New products section, under Category enter the ID of the new arrivals category. An empty field means automatic filling is switched off.

2. Under New for how many days, enter how many days a product counts as new (90 by default).

   

3. Click Save Config.

The shop refreshes the category once an hour. A product counts as new if it was created within the set period or if a "new" period is set on the product itself.

3. Rows on the home page

Stores › Configuration › Magelan › Theme Settings

1. Expand the Home Settings section.

2. Under Home Category 1 title, enter the row heading, for example New in, and under Home Category 1 ID the category ID.

   

3. Fill in the second row the same way (and the third, if your shop's design shows it), for example with the sale category.

4. Click Save Config and clear the cache.
