Ecommerce Widgets for Mobile Devices
Hi Team,
How Ecommerce widgets works for mobile devices? Do i need to create a new set of pages to support mobile shopping experience? or Does Ecommerce Widgets render a different markup when page is requested from a mobile device, meaning that same set of pages I created to support desktop shopping experience will manage mobile experience as well? What's the recommended approach?
Thanks for your quick response,
Carlos.
Hi Carlos,
The Ecommerce widgets do not render differently for mobile devices. You can either transform your page layouts or open a different site using Responsive Design but the widgets themselves are not mobile device aware.

Hello Randy,
Thanks for your quick response! If I understand well your comment, it means that Ecommerce Widgets are designed to fully support responsive design approach. Is that correct? I just want to have clear the line between what is supported by design and what's not. In the past we faced some issues with Sitefinity Components, especially with Navigation Bar, that it appears wasn't designed to support responsive design (version 5.0), perhaps this is no longer an issue with latest version, but my concern right now is focused on Ecommerce Widgets.
Any other comment/observation will be appreciated.
Regards,
Carlos.
Hello Carlos,
I am sorry for the confusion. Ecommerce widgets are NOT designed to fully support responsive design.
They will rearrange themselves to some extent based on the with of their container but they do not shrink or hide parts as the screen gets smaller. Fro that custom code would need to be implemented.
I hope this clears things up for you.
All the best,
