Epic Page Builder Widgets gives you the power to design better pages inside BigCommerce—without coding. Follow these steps to get started, or watch the setup video above for a full walkthrough.
Step 1: Open the App
- In your BigCommerce dashboard, go to Apps → Epic Page Builder Widgets.
- From the main screen, you’ll see tabs for Configuration, Billing, and Custom Widget Requests.
Step 2: Install Widgets
- On the Configuration tab, toggle widgets on individually to add them to your store.
- Use Install All Free Widgets to enable everything at once.
- When you upgrade to premium, you’ll also see an option to install all premium widgets in one click.
Step 3: Access Widgets in the Page Builder
- Go to Storefront → My Themes → Customize to open BigCommerce Page Builder.
- Your Epic Widgets will appear in a section below the default BigCommerce widgets.
- Drag and drop them onto any page—home, product, category, blog, or landing pages.
Step 4: Customize Your Widgets
- Simple widgets (like Headings) can be edited directly in the Page Builder sidebar.
- More advanced widgets (like Image Galleries or Accordions) include extra settings under the three-dot menu (…) for layouts, lists, and styling options.
- All widgets inherit your theme’s default styles, but you can override fonts, colors, and layout settings as needed.
Step 5: Use Layouts for Best Practice
- For complex designs, use BigCommerce’s Layout widgets to create columns and structure.
- Place Epic Widgets inside these layouts to control width, spacing, and overall styling.
Step 6: Explore and Experiment
- Popular widgets include Alternating Banners, Hero Masthead, Accordions, Image Galleries, and Custom Menus.
- Mix and match them with layouts to create unique sections across your store.
Step 7: Upgrade for Premium Widgets
- Upgrade from the Billing tab to unlock advanced widgets like Accordions, Advanced Tabs, and more.
- Premium widgets are available for a one-time payment.
