Overview

About this plugin

MonkeyDesign Product Carousel adds a fully featured WooCommerce product carousel and slider widget to Elementor. Drop it on any page, pick your product source, style the cards — done.

Looking for a WooCommerce carousel or product slider for Elementor? This widget gives you both, with a powerful query engine that goes beyond simple product lists.

The main value is not the sliding itself (Swiper handles that), but the product query engine and the card builder: control where products come from and exactly what each card shows.

Key free features

Product sources

* Latest products

* Featured products

* On sale

* Best sellers (cached for performance)

* By category or tag

* Manual product selection (comma-separated IDs)

* Related products

Layout

* Unlimited columns — set independently for desktop, tablet, and mobile

* Two skins: Classic (bordered card) and Minimal (frameless)

* Configurable gap between slides

* Center mode (active slide centered, adjacent slides partially visible)

Card builder — every element independently toggleable

Navigation & autoplay

Performance

js (not jQuery-dependent Slick)

* No jQuery

* CSS and JS load only on pages that contain the widget

* First slide image gets loading="eager" and fetchpriority="high" — improves LCP

Accessibility

* Screen reader labels on arrows via Swiper’s a11y module

* Full keyboard navigation

* Visible focus styles on all interactive elements

* Arrows are real <button> elements with aria-label

* Respects prefers-reduced-motion (disables autoplay and transition animations)

  • AJAX add to cart — spinner, success state, and toast notification on add to cart
  • Wishlist button — let customers save products for later
  • Sale countdown timer — display a live countdown on sale products

  • Progress bar — animated progress bar below the carousel
  • Fraction display — current / total slide counter
  • Scrollbar — draggable scrollbar navigation
  • Thumbnail navigation — row of thumbnail slides below the main carousel

Template override

  • Modify as needed

The rendered card HTML is also filterable: apply_filters( 'mdpc_card_html', $html, $product, $settings ).
