Build WooCommerce product brand pages with Elementor: edit each brand visually, with brand hero, product grid and quick view widgets.

== Description ==

Brandora Product Brand Pages for Elementor lets you design a **custom page for every WooCommerce product brand** with the Elementor editor. Open any brand, click **Edit with Elementor**, and build a brand landing page with a hero banner, brand story, featured products and a filterable "shop all" grid, without touching code and without relying on any theme feature.

Use it to turn plain brand archives into branded landing pages for your online store: a clear brand header with logo and stats, category shortcuts, best sellers, sale products and related brands, all editable as Elementor widgets.

**Key features**

* "Edit with Elementor" button on the brand edit screen and in the brand list.
* A dedicated **Brands** menu in the admin sidebar.
* Brand pages that use an Elementor layout replace the default shop archive template; brands without a layout keep the normal template.
* Elementor widgets in a "Brand" category: Brand Page, Brand Hero, Brand Intro & Stats, Brand Story, Brand Collection Banner, Brand Categories, Brand Featured Products, Brand Shop All (filterable product explorer), Related Brands and Brand Call to Action.
* Quick view and quick add to cart are built into the plugin, so they work on any theme.
* Styling (spacing, colors, typography) is exposed as Elementor style controls.
* Shortcodes: `[zbel_brand_page]` and `[zbel_current_brand_products columns="4" limit="12"]`.
* Translation ready. English is the source language; translations are provided by the community on translate.wordpress.org.

**Requirements**

* WooCommerce (with the Brands taxonomy)
* Elementor

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

Go to **Brands**, hover a brand and click **Edit with Elementor**. Add the widgets from the **Brand** category, then publish. The brand archive now shows your layout.
