Magento 2 handpicked products for campaign pages and guides
Not every product list should be driven by rules. For the autumn campaign, the hiking guide or a brand landing page, the exact selection and order matter. With the widget for Magento 2 handpicked products, editors choose the products directly and output them as a grid or slider.
The module is the editorial counterpart to rule-based product lists. The extension runs in Hyvä shops with Alpine.js, uses cache tags for current prices and hides products that are no longer available. Magento 2 handpicked products can be used in CMS pages, static blocks and Page Builder.
Magento 2 handpicked products: editorial instead of rules
For campaign pages, guides and landing pages where the exact selection and order matter.
Search in the dialog
Find products by name or SKU and add them with one click.
Drag and drop

Responsive columns
Number of columns configurable per screen width.
Automatically cleaned

Clean cache
Cache tags keep prices and status up to date.
Select Magento 2 handpicked products via search in the widget dialog
In the standard Magento widget dialog or in Page Builder a product search opens. You type a name or SKU, pick the hits and see the selection as a list with image and name. It is designed for editors without technical knowledge: no typing product IDs, no formulating conditions.
- Search by name or SKU in the dialog
- Selection list with image, name and SKU
- Remove single products with one click
Order and display: grid or slider with Alpine.js
Unlike rule-based lists, only your arrangement decides here. Products are output as grid or slider, both with Alpine.js in the Hyvä standard. Number of columns, an optional heading and the display of price, rating and add-to-cart button are switched individually per widget.
- Grid or slider, without extra JavaScript
- Price, rating and add-to-cart can be toggled individually
- Heading and subtitle per store view
Sold out or deleted: how handpicked products behave day to day
If a selected product is no longer visible, disabled or deleted, the widget silently skips it instead of showing a gap or an error. Through cache tags the widget block is rebuilt as soon as one of the products changes. If no item is left at all, the whole widget including its heading is not output.
- Invisible, disabled or deleted products are skipped
- Cache tags per product, no manual flushing needed
- An empty widget does not produce an empty heading
Use cases for Magento 2 handpicked products

Guides and blog
In the article “The best hiking boots” exactly the mentioned products appear, in the order of the text.

Brand pages and sets

Rule-based list versus Magento 2 handpicked products
Both approaches have their place. What matters is who makes the selection.
| Aspect | Rule-based list | Handpicked selection |
|---|---|---|
| Selection | By conditions such as category or attribute | By editors via search |
| Order | By sort rule | Exactly as set, via drag and drop |
| Effort | Set a rule once, then automatic | Maintenance as needed |
| Suited for | Large, changing sets | Curated campaigns and guides |
| Operation | Understanding conditions | Typing a name or SKU |

Distinction from other Mironsoft modules
Magento 2 handpicked products is meant for manual selection. Rule-based product lists by category, attribute or condition are provided by the product collection module. The two complement each other: one delivers automatically maintained lists, the other curated selections.
Merchants who use Magento 2 handpicked products change nothing about categories and products. The widget only reads the selected products and displays them.
No download, but personal setup
Handpicked Products Widget is not listed here as a ready-made download for self-installation. The purchase is a service order: after buying we contact you, set up the widget in your shop and show your team how to use it.
