Fancy Display Template for the Product Listing
By default, the products are listed using the fancy 1 display template (when someone clicks on “Browse Products” link of a category). If you want to use a different template, then you can use the “product_listing_style” parameter in the shortcode to specify the template number.
Example shortcode usage below:
[wp_eStore_browse_by_category product_listing_style="14"]
It will use fancy 14 display template to show the product listing when someone clicks on “Browse Products” link of a category.
