Generating API keys

Can I control what gets displayed by the shortcode?

There are quite a few attributes that can be added to the shortcode. The only required attribute is “id” for the ‘external_product’ shortcode. Here is an example of all the attributes on the ‘external_product’ shortcode:

[external_product id=“99” image=“show” title=“show” price=“show” rating=“show” button=“Custom Text Here”]

Adding “hide” to any of those attributes will hide that element, including the button.

Can I add multiple products per shortcode?

Yep! [external_product id=“10,11,12,13,14,15”]

How can I edit the html output?

You can copy the file in this plugin located at templates/shortcodes/external-product-single.php, and paste it into the root of your child theme like so: theme-name/woocommerce-external-product-embed/shortcodes/external-product-single.php. Then you can edit this file as you wish.
