MultiExcerptNameFeature Overview

Allow infinite scrolling to load extensive product list or vast categories instead of the user navigating through pages.



Excerpt

Entering a search term on a website can often yield hundreds of results. For sites with an extensive product list or vast 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 can provide a more seamless browsing experience. 

Variations

Infinite Scrolling can be implemented in 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.  
    Automatic Load


  2. User-controlled load - when the user scrolls to the bottom of the page, a 'Show More Products' button appears. The user can choose to click for the next batch of products, or not. 
    User Clicks to Load


Either option is quick to implement - it simply depends on the behaviour that is right for your website.

Step-by-step guide

  1. In the CMS, go to ContentContent Standard Pages

  8. If (7) is ON, if you want to, in Click to show more Products button text, edit the text shown to the user.
     
  9. Toggle ON Pre-Load Data to have data for additional products loaded in the background, before the page has been scrolled or the button has been clicked.
     
  10. Click Save.
