The Pocketsflow plugin adds a Pocketsflow block and a [pocketsflow] shortcode to WordPress. Each one renders a buy button, a link or a product card that opens your Pocketsflow checkout on top of the page. Requires WordPress 6.3 or later and PHP 7.4 or later.

​
Install

1

Download the plugin

In the dashboard, open Integrations → Site builders, choose WordPress and click Download plugin.
2

Upload and activate

In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the zip, install it and click Activate.
3

Connect your store

Create an API key in Pocketsflow under Developers → API keys. In WordPress, open Settings → Pocketsflow, paste the key and save. Your store address fills in by itself.
4

Add a product

Edit a page, add the Pocketsflow block, pick a product and a style. Publish.

​
Your API key

The key is used only by your WordPress server, to list your products in the block editor and to read your store address. It is:
  • stored in your site’s options, never autoloaded;
  • never printed on the settings page, in the block editor, in the REST API or on your site (the settings page only says that a key is saved);
  • sent only from your server to api.pocketsflow.com;
  • removed when you uninstall the plugin, together with every cached response.
The shortcode and the block still render without a key, as long as your store address is set. A test key (pk_test_…) lists your test-mode products.

​
Shortcode

Copy a ready-made shortcode from Integrations → Site builders → WordPress. It works in any editor, widget, page builder (Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder) or theme template (do_shortcode).

​
Settings

Settings → Pocketsflow holds:
  • API key: write-only. Paste a new key to replace it, or tick Remove the saved key.
  • Store address: your subdomain (yourstore) or your custom domain (shop.example.com).
  • Button label and Checkout opens: the defaults for blocks and shortcodes that do not set their own.

​
What the plugin loads

On pages that show a Pocketsflow button, the plugin loads https://app.pocketsflow.com/embed.js (deferred, in the footer) and a small stylesheet for cards and links. Nothing loads on other pages. Without JavaScript, every button is still a plain link to the checkout.

Troubleshooting

For developers

The plugin source, its tests and its WordPress.org readme.txt live in the monorepo under integrations/wordpress. See its README for the WordPress.org submission steps.
