     - **Total items**: Select how many items to display, up to a maximum of 15.
     - **Responsive block**: Enabled by default, optimizing for mobile viewing.
     - **Image, Name, Description, Price, Button**: These options allow for customization of what attributes to show or hide, alongside styling settings.
     - **Row padding and Card background color**: Adjust layout aesthetics to suit your brand style.
