Block settings

Each Image card block contains customizable visual and content elements.

image
  • Image: Upload or choose an image that best represent the card's message.

  • Image ratio: Control how the image fills the card.

    Options include:

    • Adapt to image: Maintains the original image ratio.
    • Square, Portrait, Landscape: Crop the image to a fixed ratio for uniformity.
  • Image overlay opacity: Add a semi-transparent layer over the image to improve text readability.

    • 0% = No overlay
    • 100% = Fully opaque (black cover)

Use 20-40% overlay for bright images with text overlays. Lower it for dark or minimal images.

  • Content position: Determine where the text/button appears inside the card.
    • Standard: Top left, Middle center, Bottom right, etc.
    • Split layout options: Top subheading, Bottom button, Middle content allow for more control.
    • Below image: Display the content under the image.
Example of Top subheading
  • Content alignment: Control text and button alignment (Left, Center, or Right) relative to the content position.
  • Content spacing: Adjust the internal padding of the content (e.g., Extra small, Medium, Large). Useful for cards with more or less text.
  • Content gap: Control the spacing between elements like tag, heading, and button.
  • Card link: Choose where the entire card and the button should lead: a product, collection, or page. Clicking anywhere on the card will navigate to this link.
  • Show badge: Toggle ON to display a promotional badge (e.g., “Save 20%”, “New”).
image
  • Color scheme: Choose a color preset for the badge's label and background that contrasts well with the image background.
  • Shape:
    • Circle – Best for prices or short attention-grabbing text.
    • Square – Great for labels or rectangular highlights.
  • Position: Select from corners like Top right, Bottom left, etc.
  • Subtext: Add a smaller caption above the main badge text (e.g., “Save”).
  • Text: The main value or highlight (e.g., “99$”, “New”).

💡 Tip: Use badges strategically to highlight limited-time offers or bestsellers. Keep the message short and clear.

Control how each image card behaves and looks on smaller screens, ensuring a mobile-optimized experience.

  • Color scheme: Select a different color preset specifically for mobile view. This is useful if the mobile image or background needs higher contrast for readability.
  • Image (Mobile specific): Upload a mobile-optimized image (e.g., vertically cropped or simplified).
    If provided, this image will replace the desktop version on mobile devices.

💡 Tip: Use vertical or square images on mobile to avoid awkward cropping or whitespace.

  • Show content below image: Toggle this ON to move card content (heading, button) underneath the image rather than overlaying it.
    Ideal for clean layouts or when text overlaps key parts of the image.
  • Content alignment: Choose how the mobile text and button are aligned:
    • Left
    • Center
    • Right
