Example
Category: Phones
[wpsm_box type=”blue” float=”none” text_align=”left”]Here you can see Content Egg output templates for separate module. We use Amazon in this post. Amazon module is available in free version of plugin. You can use several locales for Amazon in one post.
Each shortcode has some additional parameters, like next, limit, offset. For example, if you have 5 products in module, you can limit products to show only 2 if you add limit=2 to shortcode. Offset means how many product to offset. You can also add parameter post_id with post ID where get products (so, you can combine different Products in one page)
“next” parameter is magic. It grabs n number of products and then, when you add “next=n” to shortcode, next portion of products will be taken.
After each search, you can add another search, so, you can create set of products, product variants, product accessories, etc.

Price alert and history module in theme works only for synchronized products. You can set synchronization in Theme option – Affiliate. Then, in the end of post admin page, you will see Post offer section where you can choose synchronized product which will be used for price snippets, price alert, history, etc. By default, it shows you lowest price product, but you can choose any, because not always best products have lowest price.
