I am trying to create a slider from the related products shortcode [wpv-woo-related_products] using views - Display Results as Slider.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:

I expected to see:

Instead, I got:
An unorganized list of related products.

In your Layout template for products you have a cell that includes the wpv-woo-related_products shortcode, that's what we are referring to, right?

That shortcode doesn't take any arguments to modify its output (https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#wpv-woo-related_products), and it uses the WooCommerce API to reproduce what WC itself outputs for related products on standard product templates (second screenshot).

If you want to display a slider of related products then, in place of the wpv-woo-related_products shortcode, you would need to create a slider View for that of other products of the same category, for example.
