Product Categories

Display WooCommerce product categories as a responsive card grid with thumbnails, names, and product counts. It is shown in the block inserter as Canvas Product Categories and registered as canvas-core/woo-product-categories.

Select the block on a page and its own settings open in the sidebar, in the panels below:

Settings

Each setting is named exactly as the block editor names it, followed by what it does and what it starts as. Where a setting carries a Shown when line, it stays hidden until that condition is met, which is the usual reason a setting looks missing from the sidebar:
