Clicking through to a full product or post page just to check one detail interrupts browsing – a quick preview popup keeps shoppers on the listing.
The Quick View widget adds a popover preview trigger to products (or any post type), confirmed to work against WooCommerce products and ordinary posts alike.
For the full settings tour of every Woo Builder widget, see Woo Builder Settings Overview.
Requirement – This widget is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro, make sure it’s installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.

Steps
