Selling ebooks, templates, worksheets, spreadsheets, sheet music or courses? LayoutGlut adds a preview of your files to WooCommerce products, so customers can look inside before they buy.
Where previews show
- Product page: choose a Page design — the whole product page (gallery with images and files, price, buy box, file list and description) laid out as one design, then fine-tune colors, fonts and layout in the Page Builder. Block themes too: LayoutGlut replaces the theme’s WooCommerce templates (product, shop, archives, search) and keeps the theme header and footer
- Shop, category, tag and search pages: a “Preview” button (button, icon or link) on each product card that opens a popup
- Anywhere: the [layoutglut_preview] shortcode
- Classic and block themes
What can be previewed
- PDF, Word (DOC, DOCX, ODT, RTF), Excel (XLS, XLSX, ODS, CSV), PowerPoint (PPT, PPTX, ODP) and text files — Word (DOCX) and Excel (XLSX, CSV) in the browser; the rest through the Google Docs viewer
- Images, video and audio — with the built-in viewer
Per product
A “File Preview” box on the product edit screen: pick the product’s downloadable files, a file from the media library (for example a free sample) or a link; label, order and switch each one on or off; show or hide previews for one product.
Admin
- Preview Files: every product with previews, file types, what is not shown and why, quick on / off switches
- Global Settings: page design, popup or inline viewer, button style and text, colors, custom CSS
- Page Builder: customize the chosen page design with a live preview
- Tools: system status, export / import, reset, delete all
Good to know
The Google Docs viewer has to download the file from your site, so documents only preview on a site that is reachable from the internet, and only for files with a public URL (not files in the protected WooCommerce downloads folder — upload a sample to the media library instead). Images, video and audio work everywhere.
