About this plugin
ShopSpot adds shoppable hotspots to your post’s featured image. Place a pulsing dot anywhere on the photo, tag it with a product – name, price, image, and a buy link – and visitors tap the dot to see the product and click through, right where their attention already is.
Every product is entered by hand. There are no Amazon API keys to configure, no rate limits to worry about, and no outbound requests of any kind – ShopSpot never phones home to Amazon or anyone else.
Not just for Amazon
Every product has a Vendor: Amazon, another affiliate program, or your own site. The buy button’s label, the link’s rel attributes, and the disclosure text shown beneath the image all follow the vendor automatically – so a hotspot pointing at your own product page behaves correctly too, not only Amazon links.
Built for reuse
Products live as their own reusable entries on a dedicated Products screen. Feature the same headphones in five different posts and you create the product once, then just pick it from a list everywhere else – update the price or the link in one place and every post tagging it stays current.
Key features
- Click-to-place hotspots on any post’s featured image, with drag-to-reposition and one-click reassignment to a different product
- Reusable Product entries – name, image, price, ASIN, and buy link – taggable on any number of posts
- Three Vendor types (Amazon, Other Affiliate, My Own Site) that automatically drive button text, link attributes, and disclosure wording
- Three Product Types (Physical, Digital, Service), each with its own relevant fields (Platform, Duration)
- Retire a product by switching it to Draft – it disappears from every post it’s tagged on immediately, without deleting it or breaking existing hotspots
- Duplicate-product detection while creating a new product, so the same item doesn’t end up created twice by accident
- A Settings screen for Country, Currency (shown as the Price field’s symbol), and the Amazon disclosure message, including a toggle to hide it and a field to customize its wording
- Warns before leaving a post with unsaved hotspot changes
- No external requests, no tracking, no bundled analytics
