CafePress WordPress plugin now available through PrestoGifto
You can now integrate CafePress products into WordPress using the new PrestoGifto WordPress plugin. This plugin will allow you to put products into your WordPress sidebar, after posts, on a static page or on the footer of your WordPress page.
The plugin is packed with functionality. You can put any of CafePress’s 59 million products into your blog, either earning commissions through the CafePress affiliate program, incorporating your own CafePress designs from your existing storefront or by doing a little of both.
This plugin is different in a few ways. First, it’s got a ton of functionality because it is supported by the PrestoGifto API. This means that once you get a plugin installed, you won’t have to keep reinstalling it to inherit feature improvements and bug fixes. Next, it’s pretty powerful. You can do anything from plug a design or two into your sidebar to taking full advantage of WordPress’s CMS capabilities and create your own niche CafePress store. Since all products are dynamically controlled through your WordPress admin panel, you can swap out items seasonally, according to the latest headlines or just on a whim. Last, the plugin is fully supported by PrestoGifto. So if you encounter bugs, have a feature request, or just need to talk through the process of installing it, you’re not left scratching your head.
An updated version of this plugin will be available early next week with some small adjustments and a simpler installation/signup path.

Wow! Great plugin. I have just switched over to SpreadShirt.com for merchandise for my blog because their quality is sooo much better. Any chance you could build a similar plug in for SpreadShirt? I hope so.

So, I saw a post about PrestoGifto mentioning that a Joomla version might be on the horizon.
I’d just like to pipe up here to encourage you to do so! There is really nothing that combines the power of Joomla with the commerce of CafePress.
Please make this happen!

Hi Steam and the rest of the Joomla folks,
Ok. We’ve got a com/mod ready for testing now. Contact me if you want to try it so I can send you the info. Once it’s better tested, we’ll put it up on our site.

I am just starting with Cafe Press and found a link to your plugin from the CafePress forums.
What a great plugin! I think it took me all of less than 5 minutes to get it up and running and I’ve created a nice little gift shop on my blog.

What I want to do on my blog, is every few hours take the oldest post and move it to the
front of the queue, all automatically. Anyone know if there is a plugin that can do this or
a simple way to set up another plugin to do this (use my own feed perhaps)?
Thanks.
