# Carousel settings

Carousel settings control how products slide and behave inside your widgets (Related products, Add-ons, Recently viewed, Cart upsells, etc.).

You can use the same carousel settings across different widgets to create a consistent shopping experience.

### 🔁 Carousel Template auto scroll

**What it does**\
Automatically scrolls products without customer interaction.

**When enabled**

* Products slide on their own
* Great for homepage or promotional sections

**When disabled**

* Products move only when users swipe or click arrows
* Better for focused shopping (product pages)

📌 **Example**

* Homepage carousel → ✅ Auto scroll ON
* Product page carousel → ❌ Auto scroll OFF

***

### ♾️ Infinite loop

**What it does**\
Makes the carousel loop endlessly instead of stopping at the last product.

**ON**

* After the last product, it continues from the first
* Feels smooth and continuous

**OFF**

* Carousel stops at the end
* Clear start and end

📌 **Example**

* Related products → ✅ Infinite loop ON
* Cart upsell → ❌ Infinite loop OFF (less distracting)

### 🔄 Scroll direction (Right to Left)

**What it does**\
Changes the sliding direction of the carousel.

* Default: **Left → Right**
* Optional: **Right → Left**

📌 **Use cases**

* RTL (right-to-left) languages
* Unique design preference

***

### 🔢 Max items in carousel

**What it does**\
Limits how many products appear in the carousel at once.

This helps keep the layout clean and prevents overcrowding.

📌 **Example**

* Max items = **5**
* If 10 products are available → only 5 are shown

📌 **Best practices**

* Product page: `4–6`
* Cart or upsell: `2–4`
* Homepage: `6–8`
