On this page
In short

- The safest layout inside iframe embeds.
- Styling follows your Global Styles.
What the Carousel is
The Listing Carousel shows the same modern cards as the grid, arranged in one horizontal row with navigation arrows. It puts live listings on the page without taking much vertical space, and because its height is consistent and self-contained, it displays cleanly everywhere. It is one of the two layouts described in Listing Widgets, Which One to Use.
This is the real carousel, running live below on our demo account. Use the arrows to move through current MLS listings, and clicking a card opens the property on our demo site.

Paste it on your page
Paste the code into your platform's HTML element, as shown in Find and Paste Your IDX Embed Codes. The platform categories have the exact clicks for each editor.
When to pick it over the grid
Reach for the carousel when the section is tight, when listings share the page with other content, or when the widget runs inside an iframe. Wix is the clearest case, as explained in Add Listing Widgets to Wix. When listings are the whole point of the page, the Listing Showcase grid usually serves better.
