<p>Privatize your online store for guest customers & force users to login or register to view private products, categories, tags & pages.</p>

<h3>Turn Your Product Grid Into a Pinterest-Style Showcase</h3>
<p>Standard WooCommerce product grids force all your products into identical boxes. Tall products get cropped. Wide products look cramped. Your carefully shot product photos lose their impact, and your store looks like every other online shop.</p>
<p><strong>Product Collection Masonry</strong> changes that.</p>
<h3>What You Get</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pinterest-style layouts</strong> that let products flow naturally at their true proportions</li>
<li><strong>Complete mobile control</strong> with independent settings for 6 screen sizes</li>
<li><strong>Featured product highlighting</strong> by spanning items across multiple columns</li>
<li><strong>Intelligent targeting</strong> with “in a Row” (column-based) or “in this Grid” (traditional) modes</li>
<li><strong>Zero risk</strong> because disabling the plugin leaves your store working normally</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>This plugin extends the WooCommerce Product Collection block you already use. There is nothing new to learn.</p>
<ol>
<li>Select your Product Collection block in the editor</li>
<li>Turn on masonry in the sidebar</li>
<li>Choose your columns and aspect ratios</li>
<li>Publish</li>
</ol>
<p>Your products now display in a flowing, magazine-style layout that keeps customers browsing longer.</p>

<hr />
<h3>Works With What You Already Have</h3>
<p>Product Collection Masonry is not a replacement. It enhances the native WooCommerce Product Collection block through standard WordPress controls.</p>
<p><strong>This means:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Your existing product pages work immediately</li>
<li>All WooCommerce features remain intact (filters, sorting, pagination)</li>
<li>Your theme compatibility stays the same</li>
<li>No shortcodes or custom post types to manage</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<figure id="attachment_18734006164396" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-18734006164396" style="width: 980px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/blockeditor1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-18734006164396" src="https://woocommerce.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/blockeditor1.jpg" alt="Configure everything from the familiar block editor sidebar." width="980" height="618" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-18734006164396" class="wp-caption-text">Configure everything from the familiar block editor sidebar.</figcaption></figure>
<hr />
<h3>Control Every Screen Size</h3>
<p>Your customers shop on phones, tablets, and desktops. One layout does not fit all.</p>
<p>Set different column counts for each device:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Device</th>
<th>Example Setup</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Mobile phones</td>
<td>2 columns for larger product images</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Tablets</td>
<td>3 columns balanced for touch browsing</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Laptops</td>
<td>4 columns for comfortable viewing</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Large monitors</td>
<td>5-6 columns to display more inventory</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Each breakpoint is independent. What works on desktop stays on desktop. What works on mobile stays on mobile.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Highlight What Matters</h3>
<p>Make specific products stand out by spanning multiple columns or using different aspect ratios.</p>
<p><strong>Use this for:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>New arrivals that deserve extra attention</li>
<li>Sale items you want customers to notice</li>
<li>Bestsellers that drive conversions</li>
<li>Seasonal products during promotions</li>
</ul>
<p>Create rules like “only the 1st in a Row spans 2 columns” or “every 2nd in a Row uses portrait format” for consistent column-based patterns. Or use “in this Grid” for traditional targeting across the entire product list.</p>
<hr />

<hr />
<h3>Mix Portrait and Landscape Freely</h3>
<p>Not all products photograph the same way.</p>
<p>Jewelry looks best in portrait. Furniture needs landscape shots. Accessories work as squares. Now you can display each product in its natural proportion without forced cropping.</p>
<p><strong>Available aspect ratios:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Square (1:1)</li>
<li>Portrait (3:4, 2:3)</li>
<li>Landscape (4:3, 3:2, 16:9)</li>
<li>Ultra wide (21:9)</li>
</ul>
<p>Apply ratios to specific positions or create repeating patterns across your entire catalog.</p>
<hr />
<h3>No Lock-In. Ever.</h3>
<p>This is important: <strong>if you deactivate this plugin, your store keeps working.</strong></p>
<p>Product Collection Masonry uses only standard WooCommerce blocks. There are no proprietary shortcodes, no custom databases, and no special markup that breaks when the plugin is removed.</p>
<p>Deactivate it, and your Product Collection blocks simply display as standard WooCommerce grids. All your products, categories, and page layouts remain intact.</p>
<p>You are not locked into anything.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Lightweight and Fast</h3>
<p>Your store speed matters for sales and search rankings.</p>
<p><strong>Frontend footprint:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>JavaScript: 10 KB (gzipped)</li>
<li>CSS: Under 1 KB (gzipped)</li>
</ul>
<p>For comparison, that is smaller than most product thumbnail images.</p>
<p>The plugin also uses progressive enhancement. Products display immediately in a CSS grid and get enhanced to masonry layout on page load. No layout jumping. No blank screens.</p>
<hr />
<h3>Perfect For</h3>
<ul>
<li>Fashion and apparel stores</li>
<li>Jewelry and accessories</li>
<li>Home decor and furniture</li>
<li>Handmade and craft items</li>
<li>Art prints and photography</li>
<li>Any store that wants to stand out</li>
</ul>
