Static websites are a thing of the past. Keep product images moving with this elegant X-Cart slideshow module.
Whether you're using X-Cart 4 or X-Cart 5, Magic Slideshow supports them both. Created using responsive design, your slideshow images will automatically scale up and down to fit every screen size.
With over 30 customizations to choose from, each image slideshow will fit your X-Cart shop perfectly. Everything can be tweaked! Slide effects (14 choices including fade, 3D bars and slide-out), speed, bullets/thumbnails, arrows, direction to name a few.
We highly recommend the full-screen option. This is a gorgeous feature for all devices, but especially on handheld devices when customers can swipe through each slide using their finger.
