Easy Order – Simple Store Builder

[comw_product id="123"] – Sell a single item from Easy Order’s own built-in product catalog. Shows the thumbnail/gallery, title, price, and an inline Buy Now button with the checkout panel already wired up. Use this for a dedicated product page or a promoted item embedded in a blog post.

[comw_buy_button id="123"] – The universal buy button. Point it at any priced post – Easy Order’s own catalog, a WooCommerce product (simple, variable, or external/affiliate), or any other post type you’ve registered via a filter – and it resolves the price, image, and stock fresh from the database every time. Also works with no product behind it at all:

[comw_buy_button title="One-Hour Consultation" price="49.99"]

for a one-off service or item that doesn’t need its own product page. Perfect for a pricing table, a landing page call-to-action, or a “Buy Now” link dropped into an existing WooCommerce product page.

[comw_product_list] – A full catalog grid (or list) with a grid/list toggle, a left-hand sidebar of filters that only render when they’re actually useful (price range, category, tags, attributes, rating, and stock status), and a click-to-preview image popup with an auto-rotating gallery. New pages load either with a “Load More” button or automatically via infinite scroll as the visitor reaches the bottom – your choice, set once in Settings. Attributes:

• title – an optional heading shown on the same line as the “Showing X of Y products” count and grid/list toggle (default: none)
• post_type – comw_product (default, your own catalog), product (list WooCommerce products instead), or both_product (merge your own catalog and WooCommerce’s into one combined grid)
• per_page , columns , view ( grid or list )
• group_by_category – yes to show a “Shop by Category” layout instead: a heading and its own small grid (starting with per_page products) for every category that actually has published products, one after another. Each category gets its own independent “Load More” button (loading more of just that category, not the whole page) once it has more than per_page products, plus a “View All” link to its own archive. No filter sidebar or infinite scroll in this mode – each category grid is its own self-contained query.
• filters , filter_price , filter_category , filter_tags , filter_attributes , filter_rating , filter_stock – each can be set to no to hide that specific filter, or filters="no" to hide the whole sidebar (ignored when group_by_category="yes" )

Use this for a shop-style archive page built entirely from a shortcode, without needing a full storefront theme or WooCommerce’s shop template.

[comw_hero_slider] – An auto-rotating image slider/banner for your homepage, landing page, or storefront header. Each slide has its own background image, heading (choose the HTML tag, H1-H6, for SEO control), subtitle, call-to-action button, text alignment/color, and color overlay. Manage slides with drag-to-reorder and global settings (autoplay, interval, dots, arrows, fade/slide transition, height, boxed/full width) under Easy Order > Hero Slider .

[comw_product_landing id="123"] – A full marketing-style landing page for one product: hero photo (or auto-sliding gallery), title, price, and Buy Now, an optional feature-chip strip pulled from the product’s own Specifications, and optional “Related Products” (same category) / “Newest Arrivals” sections. Two hero layouts (full-width image with the title over it, or a classic side-by-side split) and a “Dark Premium” or “Light” color scheme are set globally under Easy Order > Product Landing Page , along with colors, fonts, image sizing, and auto-slide timing – any of it can be overridden per shortcode instance, e.g. show_related="no" . Give a product its own Landing Page Images (Product Manager) for a hero photo distinct from its catalog thumbnail, or leave it empty to fall back to the Featured Image + Product Gallery automatically.

[comw_category_showcase] – A “Search by Category” row for your homepage or landing page: a horizontally-scrolling set of category cards (image + name), each linking straight to that category’s own archive. Give a category its image under Easy Order > Products > Categories (Add/Edit Category screen) – a category with none set falls back to a plain placeholder icon rather than an empty box. Attributes:

• title – the heading text (default “Search by Category”); leave empty ( title="" ) to hide the heading entirely
• taxonomy – comw_product_cat (default, this plugin’s own catalog), product_cat (WooCommerce’s categories instead – only when WooCommerce is active, otherwise falls back to this plugin’s own), or both (merge both catalogs’ categories into one row – each keeps using whichever “category image” field its own admin screen already offers: this plugin’s Add/Edit Category screen for its own categories, WooCommerce’s own Thumbnail field for WooCommerce’s)
• count – how many categories to show (default: all)
• parent – 0 (default) shows only top-level categories; pass a category ID to show its subcategories instead
• orderby , order – name (default), count , term_id , or menu_order ; ASC (default) or DESC
• hide_empty – yes to hide categories with no published products (default: no , so a category still shows even before its first product is added)
• show_arrows – no to hide the prev/next scroll buttons

[comw_order_lookup] – A self-service “Track My Order” form. A customer enters their Order ID and the email they ordered with and sees the order’s current status, item, and total – no account or login required. Wrong ID or wrong email both return the same generic message, so the form can’t be used to probe whether a given order ID or email exists. Drop this on its own “Track Your Order” page and link to it from your order confirmation email or footer menu.

[comw_order_confirmation] – The order confirmation/thank-you page content, auto-created for you on activation (find it under Easy Order > Settings ) – you don’t normally need to place this manually.

Your own product catalog

• A full product editor under Easy Order > Products – title, description, short description, regular/sale price, a unit label (e.g. “1kg”), featured image, and an image gallery, with an “All Products” list screen (search, status tabs, category filter, sortable columns, bulk trash/restore/delete) and stat tiles for total units sold and total stock remaining.
• Categories and tags for your catalog, managed from their own submenu screens – shown automatically as filters on [comw_product_list] and assignable right from the product editor, including adding a new category inline without leaving the page. Give a category its own image for a [comw_category_showcase] “Search by Category” row.
• CSV product importer – upload a WooCommerce product export (or any CSV using the same column names) to bulk-create or bulk-update products. Large files are processed in batches so it works regardless of catalog size or host time limits; only columns Easy Order has a home for are imported, and unsupported rows (variable/grouped/external products) are skipped with a reported reason instead of silently dropped. Re-uploading a corrected file updates products already imported under the same title instead of duplicating them.
• Stock tracking – track an exact quantity (auto-reduced when an order completes, shows “Out of Stock” at zero) or just flip a manual In Stock / Out of Stock switch. Checkout re-verifies stock server-side every time, never trusting what the page happened to show. Existing products with no stock setting at all stay purchasable.
• Fixed Quantity packages – sell something that only makes sense as a set number of units (a 20kg sack, a box of 6, a bundle of 3) by setting a Fixed Quantity on the product. The quantity field is locked at checkout so a customer can’t accidentally order “20” sacks instead of one 20kg sack – Regular Price is simply the price of the whole package.
• A fully
