11. Zero Price Text

The default is set as ‘Configure for Price‘ This is text that will display to your user if a product has a zero price.

A zero price on a product is useful if you want the product’s price to be determined by selections of custom fields and/or product variation options attached to the product. Once a variation option or custom field is selected then the text here will change to “Calculating…” until it displays the product price.

 

12. Related Products in Tab

This is set to “No” by default. If set to “Yes” related products will be displayed in a tab, else they will be displayed in the infoholder as explained at option number 2. This is then further affected by option number 5.

15. Image Display

Here you have the option of letting your images been shown as Full Images or Thumbnail Images. In order to use the Zoom Gallery or to have images enlarge in a pop-up on click, then the Thumbnail option must be chosen. Else products images will be shown the full size of the image uploaded on the product. This may cause display issues if you image dimensions are too large to fit into the post/page.

 

16. Universal Text Box

These thumbnails appear one next the other below the main product image. On click they are enlarged in a pop-up window or they are loaded into the main image space to be used with the Zoom Gallery extension.

 

19. Thumbnail Quality

Here you can decide on the quality of your thumbnails. If you have a lot of thumbnails loading on your product pages it might be a good idea to reduce the thumbnail quality so the page loads quicker. Note this does not affect the enlarged/zoomed image.
