Remove product image hover effect on Squarespace

When you showcase products on your Squarespace ecommerce site, you’re obviously going to want to use product images. 

Most ecommerce websites will use multiple images per product however, if you do this on Squarespace, when a user hovers over e.g. product image 1, product image 2 will automatically appear. 

For some people that’s not a problem, but some people want to remove this hover effect and instead have users simply see the first image.

The good news is that there is a way to remove it and I’m going to talk you through it. Let’s get started…

How to remove product image hover effect on Squarespace

Navigate to Website > Website Tools > Custom CSS and add the following code to your CSS panel:

 

.products.collection-content-wrapper .grid-image-hover {
opacity: 0 !important;
}

.products.collection-content-wrapper .grid-image-cover {
opacity: 1 !important;
}

 

What this code does is turn the opacity of the hover effect down to zero which means even though technically the effect is still happening, you can’t see it.

This code allows you to override Squarespace’s hover effect and ensures that only one image is displayed on your main shopping page. 

Once you’ve added in the code, hit save and you’re all done.
