Homepage Seasonal Product Groups

Homepage Groups — Seasonal Product Rotation for X-Cart

Homepage Groups automatically rotates the products shown on your homepage based on the month of the year. It’s ideal for seasonal businesses and monthly campaigns: you set up product groups once, and your homepage updates itself as the months change.

How it works

1. You assign products to Group 1 – Group 12 using a simple multi-select interface.
2. Each group is linked to one or more months in the module settings.
3. The module automatically displays the correct group of products on your homepage based on the current month.

No cron jobs, manual switching, or ongoing maintenance required – set it up once, and your homepage stays seasonal all year.

Improved product management

• Assign products to multiple groups — perfect for overlapping campaigns or extended seasons.
• No hidden attributes required — clean, purpose-built interface directly in the product admin.
• Dedicated seasonal group controls — easier to manage than standard attribute-based setups.

Optional group titles

• Add a custom title for each group (e.g. Spring Essentials, Winter Maintenance).
• Choose whether to display the title on the frontend or use it as an internal note.
• The active group title is automatically shown beneath the homepage block (when enabled).
