Features

Swiper Product Gallery

Replace the default WooCommerce gallery with a smooth, touch-friendly image slider. Customers can swipe through product photos on any device, reducing friction between browsing and buying.

Product Video Embeds

Add a Vimeo or MP4 video directly to any product gallery. Show your product in motion so customers understand exactly what they are getting before they add to cart.

Fullscreen Lightbox

Let customers open any image or video in a distraction-free fullscreen lightbox. Zoom into product details without leaving the page, giving them the confidence to purchase.

Configurable Thumbnail Navigation

Display image thumbnails below, to the left, or to the right of the main gallery. Choose how many to show, adjust spacing, and control whether thumbnails appear on mobile — all from the settings page.

FAQs

No. Gallery Spotlight requires WooCommerce to be installed and active. If WooCommerce is deactivated, the plugin will deactivate gracefully and display an admin notice.

Vimeo URLs and self-hosted MP4 files. For Vimeo, paste a standard video URL like https://vimeo.com/123456789. For MP4, paste the direct URL to the file. Each product can have one video.

No. The plugin is built with Core Web Vitals in mind. The first image loads eagerly with a preload hint for fast LCP. All other images are lazy loaded. The Vimeo Player SDK only loads on product pages that actually have a Vimeo video – it’s not loaded site-wide.

Yes. The gallery automatically switches to the correct image when a customer selects a product variation, matching WooCommerce’s default variation image behaviour.

Yes. Each product has individual settings for autoplay, loop, mute, and show/hide video controls. These settings apply to both the inline gallery player and the lightbox.

Gallery Spotlight replaces it entirely. The default WooCommerce zoom, lightbox, and slider features are removed and replaced with Gallery Spotlight’s own gallery. If you need certain product types to keep the default gallery (e.g. Composite Products or Bundles), you can exclude them in the settings.

Yes. You can choose left, right, or bottom thumbnail positions, set the number of visible thumbnails (3-10), and control spacing between the gallery, thumbnails, and pagination independently.

The lightbox supports full keyboard navigation. The main gallery supports swipe gestures on touch devices and click/drag on desktop via Swiper.
