Product Anywhere v1.0.0

[gburton]

Overview

Product Anywhere lets shop owners surface and sell Phoenix Cart products dynamically on any page - inside the store, on a CMS page, in blog content, or on an entirely external site - using a single embeddable tag instead of a fixed category/product-page template.

<product-preview data-id="123"></product-preview>
<script src="https://yourshop.com/shop/embed.js" defer></script>

Phoenix Cart resolves the product context server-side and renders it consistently wherever the tag appears, so merchandising is decoupled from catalogue structure - products become portable components you can drop in anywhere.

Thanks to the Code Co-op community's ideas, testing and review.

Under the hood

• Shadow DOM encapsulation keeps embedded product markup and styles isolated from the host page, so Product Anywhere won't clash with the surrounding site's CSS.
• Lazy-loading via IntersectionObserver means embeds only fetch product data once they're actually in view.
• A concurrency-limited fetch queue prevents pages with many embeds from hammering the shop's API all at once.
• Referrer-based UTM attribution and server-side click tracking give shop owners visibility into where embedded-product traffic and conversions are actually coming from.

Self-serve embeds

Users can generate the embed snippet for any product directly from the product page, without hand-writing the tag or looking up IDs manually.
