In native store, the Product Gallery widget offers different filtering functionality based on whether it is used on a regular or dynamic store page.
If you add the Product Gallery widget to a dynamic store page, like the Category page, the following options are available on the Content tab of the Product Gallery widget:
-
Show different content per category. The content of the gallery dynamically updates based on the category page the gallery is on. If this option is selected, the gallery can either display products or subcategories.
-
Show the same content on every page. The content displayed in the gallery is the same no matter which category page the gallery is on. If this option is selected, the gallery can display all products, all categories, or a specific category.
-
If you select All Products, you will have the option to select In what order? This determines what order products are displayed in the Product Gallery Widget. You can select A- Z to display products alphabetically or Product Catalog Order to display products in the order they appear in the product catalog. If you want to change the order of products in the catalog, drag and drop them into the desired order.
-
If you select All Products, you can use the checkboxes to select whether or not to display products on sale, products not on sale, and out of stock products. You must have at least one option selected. If no products meet the selected filters, the Product Gallery Widget will be empty. If you do not see this filter, click Update widget at the top of the Content tab of the widget.

Depending on what you choose to display in the Product Gallery widget, you will have a variety of toggles to enable. Enable them as necessary. See Product Gallery Widget Settings for more information about the toggle options.
At the bottom of the Content tab on the Product Gallery widget, there are various toggles that determine what information is shown in the gallery. Their availability depends on what you have selected to display in the gallery. Following are the options that are available when placed on either a regular or dynamic page:
-
Show title. This toggle is always available no matter what is selected to display in the gallery. It will adjust to show category, subcategory or product names depending on what is displayed.
-
Show price. Only available if you select to display all products or products within a specific category. This toggle is not applicable when categories or subcategories are displayed in the gallery.

Lowest price history. If the product is on sale, the lowest price within the last 30 days will display. This is only available for Enterprise clients with stores in the EU.
We are continually working to improve the Product Gallery widget. Following are the current Product Gallery widget limitations:
-
Ability to add a Buy button to the product displayed in the gallery that adds it to your cart. Currently, clicking on a product in the gallery redirects to the corresponding product page.
-
When the widget displays categories, you cannot display the SKU, title, or price of specific products because those labels are not applicable to categories.
