Looking for a way to display your products on the shop page in a stylish grid? Then, we think you should definitely use the Categories Grid widget included in the JetWooBuilder<\/em> plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pay attention that you should have at least several WooCommerce products with categories, thumbnails, and descriptions to work with the Categories Grid widget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find the widget, open the needed page with the Elementor page builder, find the Categories Grid<\/strong> widget, and drag and drop it to the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
