Description
Custom animated product grid plugin for WooCommerce. Includes grid,
masonry and carousel layouts, AJAX filters/pagination, quick-view modal,
animated add-to-cart (mini-cart auto-refresh), wishlist, and compare.
When Elementor is active, a “WC Custom Grid” widget appears in the widget
panel under the “WC Custom Grid” category — search for “wc custom grid”
or “products” to drag and drop it. The shortcode also works (see below);
both options are available.
Features
- Grid / Masonry / Carousel layouts, switchable with a single shortcode attribute
- Category, product-tag, price-range and sort filters — all AJAX (no page reload)
- “Load more” AJAX pagination
- Quick View modal: image, description, price, variations, and Add to Cart
- Animated Add to Cart: hover lift, pulse-glow on success, mini-cart
fragment refresh (compatible with WooCommerce’sadded_to_cartevent) - Wishlist: works for both guest and logged-in users via WooCommerce customer
session; for logged-in users the list is also persisted to user meta so
it survives session changes - Compare: up to 4 products, stored in WooCommerce customer session,
sticky bottom bar + side-by-side table modal - Sale badge, out-of-stock badge, and star rating — all pulled from WooCommerce data
This plugin requires WooCommerce to be installed and active.

FAQ
-
Does the plugin load GSAP from a CDN?
-
No. All JavaScript, including the animation layer, is bundled locally in
assets/js/. The animations gracefully degrade — if the script fails to
load, everything else continues to work. -
The wishlist table was not created.
-
The wishlist table (
{prefix}_wccg_wishlist) is created on plugin activation
viadbDelta(). If you updated the plugin while it was already active,
deactivate and re-activate once to run the activation hook. -
How do I change the accent color?
-
Open
assets/css/style.cssand change the--wccg-accentCSS custom
property near the top of the file. If you are using the Elementor widget,
the “Accent color” control in the Card style section handles this without
editing any file.
