All Implementation Options

Javascript Widget

The JavaScript widget installs in minutes on just about any website.

Generate a <script> tag through the Business Control Panel and add it to your website.

The widget is optimized for fast loading and is cached and served by a CDN.

Data for the widget is served by the Shatter Search API upon page load and content is injected into your website.

The widget documentation provides more information on customization.

WordPress Plugin

Rather than connecting to Shatter Search servers to fetch this data, the plugin stores a local copy of the data pertaining to your store locator and product drops.

The content is served by your WordPress website and included directly in the page's HTML - which may have a positive impact on Search Engine Optimization.

Shatter Search Website Builder

Let us take the wheel.

We have a full-featured website builder for cannabis extract brands on the way.
