We’re very excited to announce the release of our Featured Product plugin, an extension for the WP E-Commerce plugin. The Featured Product plugin, developed by Zorgbargle especially for Phenomenoodle, allows you to add a “Featured Product” widget to your sidebar. You can choose to either display one specific product or let the plugin choose a product at random for you every time the page is refreshed or your site visitors move from page to page on your site.
Visit our Free Resources page for more details and to download the plugin.

love your Featured Product plugin — wondering if there is a way to have it pull from a category, or choose multiple specific products within the widget?
Thanks!
Thanks, Tianna, and great feature suggestions! I’ll pass them on to Zorgbargle and get him working on them.
great! please keep me posted…
Do you have any more documentation on using this widget? Is it possible to call on it within a template?
Hi Sarah – It’s not currently possible to call the widget within a template. The only way to have the widget show up somewhere other than your sidebar would be to add another widgetised area to your theme and then add the widget there.
Is is possible to have an add to cart button in the widget? Trying to hack it to work and not succeeding.. .wondering if I’m missing something…
Hi, if you’re still struggling with this, you can look in the featuredproduct_widget.php file, within the widget($args, $instance) function. If you add the line
echo wpsc_add_to_cart_button($product['id']);
you should get the right button.
I’ll make this an option for the next release, but in the meantime you should be able to use this workaround.
Thanks, I’ll give it a go.
Can we display the Featured product on the shop page.we currently use wp-ecommerece 3.7.8 ver.thanks in advance
Hi Arun – The featured product is a widget, so you can display it anywhere that you have a widgetised area/sidebar.
this is cool…only one question! How can I tweek it to display the featured products which are marked as “Featured”- the little star in the products admin area. I think it should display them as default as those are the actual featured products…
Thanks
