Display

By default, four randomly selected, active products on promotion are displayed next to each other. If more than four active products on promotion exist in the shop, four other products on promotion are displayed via a random generator each time the shop’s home page is visited. The product is displayed below the standard home page text.

Customer Side Usage

As soon as a shop visitor clicks on the product picture or on the name of the product, the customer is forwarded directly to the detailed view of this product.
