Overview


Entering a search term on a website can often return hundreds of results. For sites with a large product list or many categories, infinite scrolling (or endless scrolling) can be used to load products automatically as the user reaches the end of the page. This saves the user navigating through paging and provides a more seamless browsing experience. 


Step-by-step

You can implement infinite scrolling with one of two ways: 

  1. Automatic load - as the user scrolls to the bottom of the page, the next batch of products is automatically loaded with no action required from the user.  You can select to show a 'Loading more...' message.



  2. User-controlled load - when the user scrolls to the bottom of the page, they can click the 'Show More Products' button to view the next batch of products. 



Step-by-step guide

  1. In the CMS, go to Content → Content → Standard Pages. 

  2. Select the Product List template.
