Activate the plugin and use this shortcode to display Whisk Widgets:

[whisk-widget]

Alternatively, you can add this PHP snippet to your theme’s or plugin’s template:

FAQ

What is the difference between widget formats?

Compact widget is simply a button that saves your recipe to Whisk, where you can check it’s nutrition, share with friends,
post reviews, pictures and comments and do so much more, including adding all the recipes ingredients to a shopping list.

Large widget has 2 buttons: one for Saving Recipes. The other one is Add to Cart button that allows your visitors to buy all the
necessary ingredients from the nearest grocer with a single click. It is a very convenient feature, though mostly useful in US/UK.
Widget can auto-detect visitor’s country and hide this button if there are no supported retailers in visitor’s country.
You can also disable this button in plugin’s settings.

Where can I find full list of integrated retailers for Shopping List functionality?

Check out full list here. They have Walmart and Tesco!

How does it work?

Built on top of Whisk Widget Builder, this plugin utilizes Whisk SDK to scan for proper recipe microdata and send it to Whisk Platform in just one click.

Does it load a lot of 3rd-party scripts?

No! We care about your website performance and initially preload a very tiny (1kb) loader script that passively detects user interaction and loads all the Whisk scripts after some action was performed by a real user.
This way there is no impact on Google PageSpeed metrics and SEO.

Is it free?

Yes, the plugin, Whisk widgets and Whisk Apps are totally free.
