FAQs
↑ Back to topHelp customers by answering commonly asked questions.
What’s the difference between a sale and an outlet?
Outlet products are often discounted, but usually for a different reason. Outlets are a permanent destination for discontinued, end-of-season, or excess products until they sell out. Sales campaigns such as Black Friday often offer discounts across large sections of the store for a limited period of time. An outlet enables you to offer discounts all year round alongside your major sales campaigns.
Can I change the grid size on the outlet page?
Yes:
If a block theme is active, choose the Product Collection block and in the sidebar change the Products per page and Columns settings.
If a classic theme is active, change the limit and columns parameters for the [products] shortcode. answer goes here.
Can I regenerate the outlet page?
Yes:
If a block theme is active, choose the Product Collection block and in the sidebar change the Products per page and Columns settings.
If a classic theme is active, change the limit and columns parameters for the [products] shortcode. answer goes here.
Can I change the default sort order?
Yes:
Yes, delete the outlet page from Pages. Then navigate to Woocommerce → Status → Tools, and run the “Create outlet page” tool.
