ProductSync WordPress Plugin — Dealer Install Guide

What You Need

• A WordPress website (version 6.0 or higher)
• Admin access to your WordPress site
• Your Public Token and Catalog ID from your ProductSync dealer portal
• About 5 minutes

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Get Your Credentials

1. Log in to your ProductSync dealer portal at productsync.io
2. Open any catalog and go to the Embed Code tab
3. You’ll see two values at the top:
   • Public Token — a long string of letters and numbers
   • Catalog ID — starts with cl followed by letters and numbers
4. Keep this tab open — you’ll paste these into WordPress in a moment

2. Download the Plugin

1. On the same Embed Code tab, scroll down to the WordPress Plugin section
2. Click Download Plugin ZIP
3. Save the ZIP file to your computer (do not unzip it)

3. Install the Plugin on WordPress

1. Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard
2. Go to Plugins → Add New
3. Click Upload Plugin (button at top of page)
4. Click Choose File and select the ZIP you downloaded
5. Click Install Now
6. After installation completes, click Activate

4. Configure Your Settings

1. Go to ProductSync menu in your WordPress admin
2. Public Token: Paste the token you copied from your dealer portal
3. Catalog ID: Paste the catalog ID
4. Click Test Connection — you should see a green “Connected” badge
5. Catalog Path: Choose where your catalog appears:
   • /fireplaces/ (default) — e.g., yoursite.com/fireplaces/
   • /products/ — e.g., yoursite.com/products/
   • /catalog/ — e.g., yoursite.com/catalog/
   • Any other single word you prefer
6. Click Save Changes

5. Verify It Works

1. Visit your catalog URL in a new browser tab (e.g., yoursite.com/fireplaces/)
2. You should see your product catalog displayed with your site’s normal header and footer
3. Click on a product to verify product detail pages work too
4. Go back to ProductSync menu → Status tab to confirm everything shows green

That’s It!

Your product catalog is now live on your website with full SEO benefits. Google will discover your products through the automatically generated sitemap.

Other Ways to Display Your Catalog

Besides the full-page route, you can also embed your catalog inside any page or post:

Gutenberg Block

1. Edit any page or post
2. Click the + button to add a new block
3. Search for “ProductSync” and select ProductSync Catalog
4. The block will appear with a live preview of your catalog
5. Use the block settings panel (right sidebar) to customize:
   • Catalog ID (override the default)
   • Show/hide filters
   • Maximum number of products

Shortcode (Classic Editor / Page Builders)

Add this shortcode to any page, post, or widget area:

[productsync]

Common Questions

Can I add my catalog to my navigation menu?

Yes! Go to Appearance → Menus in WordPress. Add a Custom Link with:

• URL: /fireplaces/ (or whatever path you chose)
• Link Text: “Products” (or whatever you want the menu item to say)

What if I already have a page called “Fireplaces”?

The plugin will warn you about the conflict. Either:

• Rename your existing page (e.g., change its slug to fireplaces-info)
• Choose a different catalog path (e.g., /products/)

I use WooCommerce — will this cause problems?

No. ProductSync works alongside WooCommerce without any conflicts. The plugin automatically detects WooCommerce and checks for URL overlaps. If there’s a conflict (e.g., your catalog path matches WooCommerce’s shop page), you’ll see a clear warning on the Settings page.

ProductSync does not sync products into WooCommerce. Your WooCommerce shop, cart, and checkout continue to work exactly as before.

How do I update the plugin later?

When a new version is available, you’ll see the standard WordPress “Update” button on the Plugins page, just like any other plugin. Click it to update.
