Are you building your store with the Bricks builder and wondering whether Merchant will work with it? Merchant is compatible with Bricks and its WooCommerce components, not just the default WooCommerce shortcodes.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how Merchant’s modules render with Bricks and what to do if they don’t show up.
