Number of elements to be displayed
Select number of elements to display on the home page.
All values are in numerical format. It is important to take into account if goods are displayed "As list" or "As carousel", as well as design of OT Box Platform.
However, there are general rules for settings:
Carousel takes less space on the page and Lists can include more offers at a time.
For Lists we recommend calculating the number of goods to put them as symmetrically as possible.
The more goods are specified in the settings, the longer the home page takes to load (long loading forces users to leave the site).
Set 0 if you don't want to show this block on the home page.
All displayed elements have the same setting. First, select from the list which block we want to display (or hide).
