Should you use a carousel on your website?
Whatever you do, don't use an image carousel.
It may be tempting to include a carousel on your homepage, but resist the urge. The research clearly shows that even though carousels may be useful for showing off a large amount of content in a single space, they almost always hurt your conversion rate.
What is a product carousel?
The product carousel component displays a set of product pictures with a localisable text. It is useful if you want to display related products next to each other. Commerce marketers use the product carousel component to improve marketing and increase conversions.
