Our new Free WordPress plugin for 1ShoppingCart.com 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 Free WordPress Plugin For 1ShoppingCart enables you to easily list your full products catalog or a portion of the product catalog on pages or posts using a simple WordPress shortcode.
Our Free WordPress Plugin For 1ShoppingCart works on pages or posts. You only need to enter the WordPress shortcode [es1sc_prodlist] or [es1sc_prodlist prd_ids=”XXXXXX01,XXXXXX02,XXXXXX03,XXXXXX04″] on the page or post and the plugin does the rest of the work.
Let’s say that you want to list a product category on a specific page or post. You simply create a new page or post and enter [es1sc_prodlist prd_ids=”XXXXXX01,XXXXXX02,XXXXXX03,XXXXXX04″] where XXXXXX01. XXXXXX02, etc is the 1ShoppingCart ids of the products you want listed on that page. It is that simple.
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
- Product SKU
- Product Price – will display the Sale Price if the product is marked on sale in 1ShoppingCart.com
