 * Documentation is in the form of a few videos. There is no full reference material
   that describes all supported shortcodes and their options.
    The simplest code,
   wp_car_button, is broken. It displays only the button itself. The item description
   and price are both displayed with the “hidden” attribute.

 * Hi, sorry to hear about your bad experience. However there is a link on the front
   page here that shares plenty of documentation. Click the following link [wp-shopping-cart](https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wp-shopping-cart)
   to learn more.
 * Let me know if you need more information or help.
 * Thank you

 * No, that page is not at all helpful. What is so difficult about providing a comprehensive
   reference list that details all supported shortcodes and includes a complete 
   description of all the options/parameters that each one supports? There should
   be one document that details all of that information in one location, not a collection
   of disjointed videos.
 * For example:
    [short code 1] == summary of what it does [parameter 1] == required/
   optional == syntax, description, acceptable values [parameter 2] == required/
   optional == syntax, description, acceptable values … [parameter n] == required/
   optional == syntax, description, acceptable values usage examples [short code
   2] == summary of what it does [parameter 1] == required/optional == syntax, description,
   acceptable values [parameter 2] == required/optional == syntax, description, 
   acceptable values … [parameter n] == required/optional == syntax, description,
   acceptable values usage examples
 * I’ll bet you could write that document in a fraction of the time it takes to 
   make just one of those videos, and it would be infinitely more useful.

 * While we’re on the topic of documentation, how about providing a similarly comprehensive
   document that provides details of all the available filters that can be used 
   to augment the plug-in?
