     75## Shortcodes
     76This plugin creates two shortcodes for you to integrate Promos into your site
     77
     78
     79**`[promolist]`**
     80
     81This shortcode will display a grid of thumbnail previews for each of your public Promos. Clicking one of the previews takes the user to a page with all the promo details. It accepts 2 parameters:
     82
     83`@size: <integer> The number of Promos to list. Defaults to 6. Use 0 for all Promos.`
     84`@columns: <integer> The number of columns in the grid. Defaults to 3. Must be a value between 1 and 6. Columns will respond to the browser screen size.`
     85
     86Example: Show all promos in a 4 column grid:
     87`[promolist size="0" columns="4"]`
     88
     89**`[promo]`**
     90
     91This shortcode will show a single thumbnail preview for a Promo. Clicking the preview takes the user to a page with all the promo details. Note that it's possible for you to display a Private promo using this shortcode.
     92
     93`@id: <integer> The Promo ID. Required.`
     94`@max-width: <css width value> Defaults to 400px`
     95`@align: <left | center | right> Defaults to center.`

     100== Frequently Asked Questions ==
     101
     102= Do I need a mobile phone to create and manage promotions? =
     103
     104Yes. Today we have an iOS version of Promo. You will use this app to create and manage all of the promotions created on your wordpress website.
     105
     106= Do my customers need to download the Promo Application =
     107
     108No. All customers and potentially customers access the promotions by viewing your wordpress website. The promo application is only used for business owners.
     109
     110= Where do Promotions live on my wordpress website? =
     111
     112By default, we create a new page on every wordpress website called "/promos". All public promotions will display an image thumbnail and link to corresponding promotion page.
     113
     114= Can I change how Promotions are displayed on my wordpress website? =
     115
     116Yes. Use the promo shortcodes to manipulate how promotions are displayed. You can create a new page and bring in promotions by category. Please read the technical docs or contact our support team for more details.
     117
     118= How much does it cost? =
     119
     120Today, the platform is free. At a later time we'll introduce new features and a few different pricing packages. We will give ample notice of any price changes and always offer a free plan.
     121
     122
     123= How does the email marketing feature work? =
     124
     125We have a few ways to capture email address form your customers. Once you have an email list, you use the Promo application to create a promtotion and determne where promotion goes, including your mailing list. Once triggered, we send an email to your entire list with a link back to your wordpress website to view the promotion details.
     126
     127= Is Promo good for big ecommerce stores? =
     128
     129No. Promo is best situated for someone that wants a fast way to sell or promote a few items per month. If you have 100 different products to showcase, we recommend using woocommerce or a different ecommerce wp plugin.
