Customising Your WooCommerce Store with LSX Design Theme #
In WooCommerce, blocks are modular components that allow users to build, customise, and manage their online store’s layout without touching any code. The LSX Design Theme fully embraces WooCommerce’s block-based system, making it easy for store owners to create customisable, flexible designs by simply dragging and dropping elements into place. This modern approach offers far more control than traditional template-based designs and is particularly useful for non-technical users.
One of the most significant changes in WooCommerce is the shift towards block-based Cart and Checkout experiences, which are becoming the new default. These blocks offer more flexibility and customisation than classic templates, allowing store owners to enhance the user experience from adding items to the cart to finalising the purchase. The LSX Design Theme integrates seamlessly with these new blocks, giving you control over their appearance and functionality.
Key WooCommerce Blocks in LSX Design #
1. Cart & Checkout Blocks #
The Cart and Checkout Blocks represent a major shift in WooCommerce’s architecture, moving from classic PHP templates to a block-based system. This change allows for greater flexibility and customisation of the shopping and checkout experience.
With LSX Design, you can fully customise the Cart and Checkout pages, adjusting the layout, typography, colours, and even adding extra functionality like custom shipping options. You can configure the following:
- Cart Block: Customise how the cart page displays product summaries, prices, and shipping information. Add cross-sell promotions or tweak the display of product quantities and variations with ease.
- Checkout Block: Adjust the layout and design of the checkout flow, from the input fields (like shipping and payment information) to order review sections. LSX Design’s support for these blocks ensures that your store’s branding stays consistent while providing a smooth, user-friendly experience.
- For more on Cart and Checkout Blocks and their features, refer to WooCommerce’s Cart & Checkout Blocks Overview.
Additionally, while the focus is on the block-based system, LSX Design continues to support classic PHP-based Cart and Checkout templates. This is crucial if your store relies on certain WooCommerce extensions that have yet to fully transition to blocks. In such cases, you can confidently use the classic templates without sacrificing functionality.

2. Product Info Blocks #
The Product Info Blocks allow you to showcase product-specific information with greater flexibility and design control. With LSX Design, you can customise how product titles, descriptions, prices, and images are displayed, allowing you to maintain brand consistency while presenting product details in an engaging way.
- Add to Cart Block: Display an intuitive, streamlined Add to Cart button directly within product listings or other areas of your site.
- Product Title, Description, and Price Blocks: These individual blocks allow you to place product information wherever it makes the most sense for your design. Whether it’s a quick product view or a detailed product page, these blocks provide full control over how product details are presented.
You can customise these blocks in the WordPress block editor and apply global styles to ensure consistency across all your product pages. This modular system also lets you experiment with product layouts without needing to rewrite code or rely on a developer.

3. Cross-Sells and Upsells #
Adding cross-sells and upsells to your store can increase average order value by encouraging customers to add complementary products to their cart. The Cross-Sells Block in WooCommerce makes this easy by offering tailored product suggestions directly on the cart page.
With LSX Design, you can customise the layout, style, and positioning of cross-sell blocks to align with your store’s design, helping you guide customers to discover more products as they shop.

Customising Blocks in LSX Design Theme #
With LSX Design, customising WooCommerce blocks is as simple as using WordPress’s native block editor. You can visually edit and place blocks on any page, adjusting the layout, style, and functionality to meet your store’s specific needs. Additionally, LSX Design supports the use of patterns, which are pre-built combinations of blocks that make store customisation even faster.
By using the WooCommerce blocks, you gain the following benefits:
- Drag-and-drop customisation: No coding required.
- Real-time previews: See your changes immediately before they go live.
- Enhanced flexibility: Modify the layout of the Cart, Checkout, and Product Info blocks with ease.
