Shortcodes and Blocks

We recommend using the UltraCart blocks whenever you are working in the WordPress block editor. Blocks let you pick products, set options with toggles, and preview changes without writing code. Shortcodes are still available and work anywhere shortcodes are supported.

[uc_buy_button] shortcode and Buy Button block

• What it does: shows an “Add to Cart”/“Buy” button for a single item.
• Key arguments:
  • itemid (required) – the item’s ID from UltraCart.
  • currency_conversion (optional) – show the price in a different currency (e.g., AUD, EUR).
  • immediate_checkout (optional) – set to "true" to send shoppers straight to checkout after clicking; defaults to "false".
• Example: [uc_buy_button itemid="Hat" currency_conversion="AUD" immediate_checkout="true"]
• Block version: use the Buy Button block, select the item, choose currency, and toggle “Immediate checkout” if desired.

[ucitem] shortcode and Item block

• What it does: displays a full product block (title, gallery, price, quantity, options, descriptions, etc.).
• Key arguments:
  • itemid (required) – the item’s ID from UltraCart.
  • Section toggles (optional, default to showing): set to "false" to hide title, gallery, extended_description, extended_description_esc, price, quantity, auto_order_schedules, or options.
  • immediate_checkout (optional) – "true" to skip the cart and go to checkout on add; defaults to "false".
  • currency_conversion (optional) – show pricing in a specific currency code.
• Example: [ucitem itemid="Hat" gallery="false" options="false" currency_conversion="EUR"]
• Block version: use the Item block to pick the product, toggle which sections to show, choose currency, and optionally enable immediate checkout—no shortcode editing needed.

[uc_price] shortcode and Price block

• What it does: shows only the price of a single item.
• Key arguments:
  • itemid (required) – the item’s ID from UltraCart.
  • currency_conversion (optional) – display the price in another currency.
• Example: [uc_price itemid="Hat" currency_conversion="GBP"]
• Block version: use the Price block to select the item and currency.

[ucitem_list] shortcode and Item List block

• What it does: shows a list of items in the order you provide.
• Key arguments:
  • itemids (required) – comma-separated list of item IDs (e.g., "hat,scarf,gloves").
  • currency_conversion (optional) – display prices in another currency.
• Example: [ucitem_list itemids="hat,scarf,gloves" currency_conversion="CAD"]
• Block version: use the Item List block, pick products from the dialog, and choose currency; the list keeps the order you select.

[uc_if] shortcode (conditional content)

• What it does: conditionally shows content based on item properties.
• Key arguments:
  • itemid (required) – the item’s ID from UltraCart.
  • kit (flag) – include this word to check if the item is a kit.
  • orderable (flag) – include this word to check if the item is currently orderable.
  • not (flag) – include this word to invert the condition.
• Examples:
  • Show content only if the item is a kit: [uc_if itemid="bundle123" kit]Your content here[/uc_if]
  • Show content if the item is not orderable: [uc_if itemid="hat" not orderable]Sorry, this item is unavailable[/uc_if]
  • You can nest other shortcodes inside the content, e.g. [uc_if itemid="hat" orderable][uc_price itemid="hat"][/uc_if].
