Slideshow
The Slideshow section allows you to showcase up to eight images in a rotating slideshow. It's perfect for highlighting key products, promotions, or brand messages by combining images, text, and buttons. You can choose to enable auto-rotation for a dynamic display or keep a single static slide until the customer manually navigates through the slideshow.
