Display Shopify products on your WordPress blog.
How it works?
A) Set up all the apis as directed by the App
B) Set up two new pages on your WordPress website
Page #1 Set the permalink to shopify (or products, shop, catalogue etc.) and add code [wp-shopify type=”products” limit=”100″ url-type=”default”]
Page #2 Set the permalink to product (note there is no “s” at the end of the product in the url, the slug/permalink should be with exactly “product”) and insert code [wp-shopify-product] (this is where product redirect link to shopify store will work on your WordPress website)

Great plugin and support
by bbdm·1 year ago
Fahad has been incredibly helpful in getting the plugin setup and working best for our website. So appreciative!!
Not well documented
by wobfan·1 year ago·1 reply
The documentation for this plugin is below all standards. The default reocmmendation when you click on the only help symbol in the plugin is a 1.5 min video where the author basically explains nothing. There’s no documentation available or linked otherwise. The installation instructions from the plugin page are also deprecated and not well written.

Working with the help of support
by LexGear·3 years ago·9 replies
Had some issues to begin with but Fahad came to the rescue and resolved my issue very quickly. Would be nice to have some warnings to indicate that there is a connection issue, but other than that, I can’t fault the support I recieved. Thank you.

Great Plugin :)

Awesome API integration of Shopify with WordPress. The developer is eager to improve his app and goes out of his way to assist in any needs you have to utilize his product.
Plugin will stop you from accessing your Dashboard
by adabob·5 years ago·2 replies
I have the latest version of WP and already had concerns this Plugin has not reviews. However as soon as you click install/Activate your WP dashboard can not be accessed. This is a major flaw, to me it’s a scam and waste of time someone would even upload this and waste your time. Then you want me to search how to find you, was easier to warn people and remove the plugin folder, solution solved
