      Embedding Rentle on a WordPress website

      How to add the Rentle online store to your WordPress website using the Rentle WordPress plugin

      If you have a WordPress website or are considering setting one up, adding Rentle to your website is easy with Rentle's WordPress plugin.

      If you don't have a Rentle account, Create your free Rentle store from here.


      To start using the plugin, follow these steps:

      1. Go to the plugin section in WordPress and search for Rentle. Install and activate the plugin by pressing the button in the top right corner.
      2. Go to WordPress to an existing page or create a new one.
      3. Click on Add section and either use Gutenberg blocks to add the Rentle shop block or a shortcode. The needed shortcode is [rentle_shop].

      Only shop id is mandatory in order to use the Rentle WordPress plugin. To embed a product, shop, location, category, and product must be defined.

      The shop id can be found from your own Rentle Account (my.rentle.shop) -> Account -> Domains -> Main URL ending. 

      Your shop id is the Main URL ending. As an example, in the screenshot below, the shop id would be testshop123
