Shop
Store-wide defaults for the catalogue, the product page, the cart and checkout, and the header mini cart. A block that sets one of these on its own still wins on the page it is placed on.
These settings apply to the whole site, so a change here is visible on every page that uses the feature. Find them under Canvas > Theme Options, in the Shop tab.
The tab sits in the rail on the left of the screen, with its own panel beside it:
Catalogue
This group holds the following settings:
Products per PageDefault
0How many products each catalogue page lists before pagination. Leave it at 0 to follow the store's own count, which is Rows per page multiplied by Products per row under Appearance → Customize → WooCommerce → Product Catalog.
PaginationDefaultNumbered
Choose how shoppers move between catalogue pages. Numbered pagination is what most stores want, because without it a shopper cannot reach anything past the first page.
ChoicesNumberedNone
Product Image ShapeDefaultEmpty
Pin every catalogue picture to one shape so the cards in a row line up, whatever sizes your product photographs were uploaded at. Follow each picture leaves them at their own proportions.

Fit Pictures To That ShapeDefaultFill and crop
Choose what happens to a picture whose own proportions differ from the shape above. Fill and crop enlarges it until it covers the card and trims what hangs over; Fit inside shows the whole picture and leaves space at its edges.

Extra ImagesDefaultSlider When Several
Choose what a card does with a product's extra gallery pictures: reveal the second one on hover, or turn the card picture into a slideshow. Slider when several does both, a slideshow once a product holds two or more gallery pictures and a hover reveal when it holds one.

Product Page
This group holds the following settings:
Products Under a ProductDefaultUp-sells (curated on the product)
Choose which products appear under a product. Related picks them from shared categories and tags, so it works with no setup; Up-sells and Cross-sells show only the products you pick by hand on each product.

Order ByDefaultCurated Order (as stored on the product)
Choose the order that strip is shown in. WooCommerce shuffles related products by default, so an unpinned strip is a different strip on every request; anything other than the default pins it.
