As you can see, it includes a ‘Product Shortcode’. 

It’s this section we’re going to focus on.

⚡️Product Shortcode

Team Zap has created a list of the shortcodes you can use. But really, all you need to do is add a snippet at the end of this code, which explains what you want the competition to look like. 

Here’s an example. 

Say you want to order your competitions by price (low-high). All you’d need to do is add the ‘orderby=”price” orders=”ASC]

 

  1. Once you’re happy with your shortcode, click the cross in the top right corner of the box to close the pop-up and click ‘Update’
