        • Padding is the amount of vertical padding of the shop block. It can be one of the following: no-padding, small-padding, medium-padding, large-padding
        • Under the Advanced section, there is a possibility to define additional CSS classes that are applied to the Rentle shop block.

        Using shortcode

        The attributes of the shortcode uses are:

        • shop
        • location
        • category
        • product
