Quick Answer
Open the table in the builder, go to the Settings tab, open the Pagination section and turn on Enable pagination. Set Rows Per Page, optionally turn on Dynamic Rows Per Page so visitors can choose how many rows to see, then click Save. Table pagination is a WP Table Builder Pro feature.
Table pagination splits a long WP Table Builder table into pages, with page controls under the table. It keeps long tables (price lists, directories, schedules) short on the page and easier to scan.

Note: In WP Table Builder 2.3.1, Rows Per Page counts every row, including the header row on the first page. If you want 10 product rows plus the header on page 1, set Rows Per Page to 11.
