You can do it just by simply dragging and Drop it into the design canvas, it is that simple.


Now that we've incorporated the Fixed Grid into our design, we can proceed to populate it with content. In our example design, there are 8 images. Click on the "Add Content" button to begin adding the content as shown in the image below.


2: Add Content to your Fixed Grid.

Clicking on the "Add Content" button allows you to begin adding images to your grid. Once added, they will appear on the design canvas. You have the option to add images, gifs, or videos. Ensure that the images you upload are of an appropriate resolution for mobile devices, neither too high nor too small.



3: Link Actions to the each Slide you just uploaded. ​


​You can achieve the same by linking the element to any page, collection, product, or custom web URL. Here's a simple example: we are linking the first slide to a product.

4: Save the Content

Once you click on the save button on the design page, your design element is ready to be previewed. You can always preview it by clicking on the preview button on the design page or by using our mobile app.

By scanning the resulting QR code, you can view the design in your mobile app. Currently, it may not look exactly as intended, but further steps will guide you on adjusting a few values from your design's configuration to achieve the desired results.

For now, the current result resembles the screenshot below.

5: Adjusting Grid Element Width

You have the flexibility to determine how many elements appear in a single row by adjusting the "No. Of Columns" value in the right panel of the Fixed Grid Configuration. For our specific scenario, set it to 4 to display four elements side by side.

the result after adjusting number of columns can be seen simply by saving and taking preview.


6: Personalise the Background Colour of the Grid.

7: Enhance Your Grid by Adding a Background Image.

If you haven't already noticed, we also have a background image available for the grid. You can easily add it by simply clicking on "Background Image" below the background color option.

8: Final Touch - Adding Vertical Margin.

Vertical margin is an effective way to provide spacing between the top of the grid content and the baseline of the grid. We offer options for both horizontal and vertical margin adjustments. By default, the values are set to 16px, but you can customize them according to your preferences. In our case, we're setting the vertical margin to 35px, while keeping the horizontal margin at its default value of 16px. Voila! Our final polished grid is now ready to go live.

Once you've configured the Fixed Grid element, clicking the "Save Changes" button preserves the design element along with its configurations on the page.

Next, preview your design element by clicking the "Preview" button. If you encounter any difficulties during the preview process, we've provided a dedicated blog and tutorial video for your assistance—be sure to check them out.
