WordPress uses Shortcodes to easily include other content or special functionality into a WordPress post or page. A shortcode is a simple macro code that can be added to a post or page. When a page (or post) with a shortcode is viewed on the website, the code is automatically replaced with whatever information, content or special functionality it represents.
For example, in WordPress this shortcode will add a photo gallery to a WordPress post or page:
[gallery]
Additionally, shortcodes can be used with options:
[gallery option1='value1' option2='value2']
Shopp provides several shortcodes for including content from your product catalog into posts, pages or even other Shopp products.
[catalog-product]
The [catalog-product]

[catalog-buynow]
The [catalog-buynow]
includes a summary product with a buy now button.
