Embedding Rentle on a WordPress website

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

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

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 of the plugin.
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].

Using Gutenberg blocks

Only shop id is mandatory in order to use the Rentle WordPress plugin. In order to embed a product, shop, location, category and product have to 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

• Location id is the name of the location you want to specify the plugin to use. It can be found from the URL of your online store when the location is chosen. See the example below.

• Category id is the id of the category you want to show. You can find it:
  1. Through your Rentle Account (my.rentle.shop) > Products > Categories. the ID is in the selected category's URL. See the example below.
  2. Through your online store (rentle.store/YOURSTORENAME > Choose location > choose the category. The ID is in the selected category's URL. See the example below.

• Product id is the id of the specific product you want to show. You can find it from your Rentle Account (my.rentle.shop) > Products. The ID is in the selected product's URL. See the example below.

• Padding is the amount of vertical padding of the shop block. It can be one of the following: no-padding, small-padding, medium-padding, large-padding
• Under the Advanced section, there is a possibility of defining additional CSS classes applied to the Rentle shop block.

Using shortcode

The attributes of the shortcode uses are:

• shop
• location
• category
• product
• padding
• class => if you want to wrap the element to custom class

The shortcode attributes are the same as those used for the Gutenberg blocks.
