 * Here is the short code I am adding to the page:
    [spreadplugin shop_id=”2070827″
   shop_limit=”20″ shop_locale=”” shop_source=”com” shop_category=”136351″ shop_api
   =”2f731e7a-bfcd-4813-a86d-6523fd471e9f” shop_secret=”564cb194-03dd-41a3-95e0-
   34e6acd3642b”]
 * Here is the link to the page: [http://www.blaaze.org/blaazewear/](http://www.blaaze.org/blaazewear/)

 * Hi,
 * your shop Id doesn’t seem to be correct. What’s your regular shop URL? xxx.spreadshirt.
   com ?

 * Hi, use this:
 * [spreadplugin shop_id=”396134″ shop_limit=”20″ shop_locale=”” shop_source=”com”
   shop_category=”” shop_api=”2f731e7a-bfcd-4813-a86d-6523fd471e9f” shop_secret=”
   564cb194-03dd-41a3-95e0-34e6acd3642b”]
 * Your shop id was wrong as I supposed. Additionally, you don’t need to add a “
   shop_category”, if you just want to display all categories 🙂
 * Thanks for using and have fun 🙂
