What it does
Many shops want to give one product extra attention, such as a new arrival or a steady seller, without building a custom banner by hand. This plugin handles that by letting you pick any product from your store and display it in a hero section. You can keep the product's own title and description or write a custom title and message, then choose a solid color or an image for the background.
Because it is designed for Storefront, the settings live in the WordPress Customizer, where you can adjust the hero and preview changes in real time. Layouts can be full width or fixed width, with content centered or placed beside the product image, and the section can fill the whole browser window on load. The [product_hero] shortcode lets you place as many hero sections as you like in pages, posts, widgets and category listings, and the output adapts to different screen sizes.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores running the Storefront theme
- Shop owners promoting new arrivals or best sellers
- Freelancers building Storefront sites for retail clients
Features
Pick any product

Make the hero section fill the entire browser window when the page loads, giving the featured product the whole first screen.
Shortcode placement
Add unlimited hero sections across pages, posts, widgets and category listings using the [product_hero] shortcode.

Questions about Storefront Product Hero
Does this work with themes other than Storefront?
It is designed specifically for the Storefront theme and requires it. If your store runs a different theme, this plugin is not the right fit, since its settings and styling are built around Storefront and its Customizer options.
Can I show more than one product hero on my site?
Yes. Using the [product_hero] shortcode, you can place an unlimited number of hero sections in pages, posts, widgets and category listings, each highlighting a product you choose.
Can I write my own text instead of using the product description?
Yes. Each hero can use the product's default title and description, or you can enter a custom title and content to present the product with your own message.
How do I change how the hero section looks?
All settings are in the WordPress Customizer with a live preview. You can choose a color or image background, parallax and overlay options, full or fixed width, content alignment and full height display.
