Are you tired of synchronizing your product details on 1ShoppingCart.com and your WordPress site?
Well, help is just a click away.
Our new WordPress plugin lets you enter a WordPress short-cut code into your page or post and then the page gets populated by the 1ShoppingCart.com (1SC) API. Because the plugin uses the 1ShoppingCart.com API, your 1SC account must have the API enabled.
Our WordPress Plugin For 1ShoppingCart enables easy management of your product detail pages in WordPress
Our WordPress Plugin For 1ShoppingCart works on pages or posts. You only need to enter the short-cut code [es1sc_pdetails prd_id=XXXXXX] on the page or post and the plugin does the rest of the work.
Let’s say that you have a product with the 1ShoppingCart id of 6216791. You simply create a new page or post and enter [es1sc_pdetails prd_id=6216791] where you would like the product details to appear.
Unfortunately, because Bundled Offers are not really products, the API does not support any bundled offers that are in the catalog. Bundled products would have to be maintained manually on the WordPress site.
The 1ShoppingCart.com fields queried and displayable are:
- Product Name
- Product Image
- Short Description
- Long Description
- Product SKU
- Product Price – will display the Sale Price if the product is marked on sale in 1ShoppingCart.com
