Mobile Swipe for Carousel Summary Blocks

Code Toolkit
Written By Squarestylist Support

What You'll Create

Swipe gesture support for carousel summary blocks on mobile devices. Visitors can swipe left/right to navigate through carousel items on touch screens.

The Problem It Solves

Squarespace carousel summary blocks don't have native swipe support on mobile. Visitors can only use the arrow buttons, which is less intuitive. This adds touch gesture detection so users can naturally swipe through slides.

Perfect For

Testimonial carousels, Portfolio slideshows, Product carousels, Any mobile carousel experience

What Makes This Different

This technique uses Hammer.js, a popular touch gesture library, to detect swipe gestures and programmatically click the carousel navigation buttons. Simple drop-in solution that works with all carousel summary blocks site-wide.
