### Shortcodes
This plugin creates two shortcodes for you to integrate Promos into your site
**`[promolist]`**
This shortcode will display a grid of thumbnail previews for each of your public
Promos. Clicking one of the previews takes the user to a page with all the promo
details. It accepts 2 parameters:
```
@size: The number of Promos to list. Defaults to 6. Use 0 for all Promos.
@columns: The number of columns in the grid. Defaults to 3. Must be a value between 1 and 6. Columns will respond to the browser screen size.
```
Example: Show all promos in a 4 column grid:
[promolist size=”0″ columns=”4″]
**`[promo]`**
This shortcode will show a single thumbnail preview for a Promo. Clicking the preview
takes the user to a page with all the promo details. Note that it’s possible for
you to display a Private promo using this shortcode.
```
@id: The Promo ID. Required.
@max-width: Defaults to 400px
@align: Defaults to center.
```
Example: `[promo id="3" max-width="100%"]`

Do I need a mobile phone to create and manage promotions?
Yes. Today we have an iOS version of Promo. You will use this app to create and
manage all of the promotions created on your wordpress website.
Do my customers need to download the Promo Application
No. All customers and potentially customers access the promotions by viewing your
wordpress website. The promo application is only used for business owners.
Where do Promotions live on my wordpress website?
By default, we create a new page on every wordpress website called “/promos”. All
public promotions will display an image thumbnail and link to corresponding promotion
page.
Can I change how Promotions are displayed on my wordpress website?
Yes. Use the promo shortcodes to manipulate how promotions are displayed. You can
create a new page and bring in promotions by category. Please read the technical
docs or contact our support team for more details.
How much does it cost?
Today, the platform is free. At a later time we’ll introduce new features and a
few different pricing packages. We will give ample notice of any price changes and
always offer a free plan.
How does the email marketing feature work?
We have a few ways to capture email address form your customers. Once you have an
email list, you use the Promo application to create a promtotion and determne where
promotion goes, including your mailing list. Once triggered, we send an email to
your entire list with a link back to your wordpress website to view the promotion
details.
Is Promo good for big ecommerce stores?
No. Promo is best situated for someone that wants a fast way to sell or promote
a few items per month. If you have 100 different products to showcase, we recommend
using woocommerce or a different ecommerce wp plugin.
