selected WooCommerce products. Simply select the products you want to showcase, 
upload an image, and add hotspots on top. Each hotspot is associated with a product,
and when clicked, displays a product popover with all the necessary details – including
price, description, and a “Add to Cart” button.

products in a unique and engaging way. Whether you want to highlight your best-sellers,

> Clicking the “Attempt Recovery” will fix this notice, and new WCSpots v.1.2.0 
> features will be available.
