The gdgt Databox makes it incredibly easy to augment your site’s content with highly structured product data, specs, reviews, and prices, enhancing the value of your stories and keeping users engaged on your site longer.

Built to be nearly invisible to a busy editorial workflow, the gdgt Databox takes full advantage of the WordPress publishing system and automatically returns relevant products without adding additional steps before posting. Writers can also manually add products with an inline search field, or disable individual products or the entire Databox with a single click.

The Databox is highly optimized for WordPress. Minimal, intelligently-timed API requests and built-in caching mean your pages will load just as fast as ever.

Powered by the gdgt API, the Databox displays product specs, review data, pricing, and is officially developed by gdgt. The gdgt Databox requires a valid and active gdgt API key.

Customizations include:

  • Choose the maximum number of products displayed in a Databox
  • Define stop tags to exclude the gdgt Databox from multiple posts
  • Explicitly disable the gdgt Databox for individual posts
  • Define which user capability may disable the Databox for individual posts
  • Fully expand all products on initial pageload
  • Include rich semantic markup describing the content of your post to improve the relevancy of your webpages to search engines and social sharing sites
  • Customize display order alongside other plugins
  • Include Databox content in syndicated RSS and Atom feeds
