Creating visually appealing and interactive product displays is essential for any modern website. Whether you run an eCommerce store or showcase services, the way your products are presented directly impacts user engagement and conversions. With the latest improvements in Divi 5, building dynamic and interactive product cards has become easier, faster, and more efficient.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to create interactive product cards using Divi 5’s Loop Builder, along with best practices to enhance performance and user experience.
Why Use Interactive Product Cards?
Interactive product cards improve how users interact with your content. Rather than static blocks, these cards respond to user actions like hover, clicks, and animations.
Key Benefits:
- Higher Engagement: Users are more likely to explore products
- Better Conversions: Clear and interactive CTAs increase clicks
- Professional Design: Modern UI enhances brand trust
- Easy Management: Update one layout, apply everywhere
Requirements Before You Start
Before building your product cards, make sure you have:
- Divi 5 installed and active
- A product source such as:
- WooCommerce
- Or a custom post type
(Optional but recommended):
- Advanced Custom Fields for additional custom data
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Interactive Product Cards
Step 1: Enable Divi Builder and Loop Builder
Start by editing a page with Divi Builder:
- Add a new Row
- Enable the Loop Builder option
- Select your content source:
- Products (WooCommerce)
- Posts or custom post types
- Set the row’s Layout Type to Grid and turn on Equal Height Rows to keep the cards uniform across the layout.
Step 2: Design Your Product Card Layout
Now you’ll create a single product card layout that will repeat automatically.
Add the following modules:
- Image Module
→ Set dynamic content to Featured Image - Text Module (Title)
→ Dynamic content → Product Title - Text Module (Price)
→ Dynamic content → Product Price - Button Module
→ Link to dynamic product URL
Keep the layout clean and structured. A simple vertical card layout works best for most websites.
Step 3: Use Dynamic Content
Divi allows you to pull real-time data into your design.
Click the dynamic content icon (database icon) and assign:
- Product name
- Price
- Image
- Custom fields (if using ACF)
This ensures every product card updates automatically based on your database.
Step 4: Add Interactive Elements
This is where your product cards come to life.
1. Hover Effects
- Add hover state styling to:
- Images (zoom effect)
- Buttons (color transition)
- Backgrounds
2. Transform & Animation
- Apply scale effect on hover (e.g., 1 → 1.05)
- Add smooth transition for better UX
3. Overlay Content
- Show hidden elements on hover:
- “Quick View”
- “Add to Cart” button
4. Box Shadow Effects
- Add subtle shadow by default
- Increase shadow on hover
These enhancements create a modern, interactive feel that improves user engagement.
Final Result
Here’s the finished layout in action.
