MaxButtons and Shopp

We just updated MaxButtons Pro to version 1.6.0 and it contains one very important update: integration with the Shopp e-commerce plugin for WordPress. Shopp is a powerful shopping cart system which we use here on the MaxButtons website (as well as on our MaxGalleria and MaxInbound sites). Since we started using Shopp, one of the things we’ve wanted to do was take buttons created with MaxButtons Pro and use them in the shopping cart instead of the default buttons that come with Shopp. We’re happy to say that day is here.

We worked really closely with the Shopp team to make this integration as smooth as possible, and in fact, Shopp customers don’t even need an update to the Shopp plugin to make this work. All you need is the latest version of MaxButtons Pro and some small tweaks to your Shopp templates, as described below.

Shopp Template Changes

To make Shopp use buttons created with MaxButtons Pro instead of its own default buttons, follow the simple code changes below for each type of button or link. For additional information about Shopp templates, refer to the Shopp API documentation for more details.
