Recent Products

The Recent Products block displays your most recently published WooCommerce products in a clean, browsable grid. It’s a simple way to keep returning visitors up to date with your latest additions and give new arrivals prominent placement on any page of your store.

You can control how many products appear, how they are sorted, and apply optional filters using the query controls. The Advanced tab gives you full control over the grid’s typography, button styles, and product image presentation to match your store’s branding.

Requirements: The Recent Products block is available in the Elite license plan.
