NewAdded setting for users to include own Google Static Maps API key (these API keys are required as of June 22, 2016)

What it does

Many online shops tuck their contact details away on a separate page, so visitors with a quick question have to hunt for a phone number or email address. This plugin puts that information on the homepage, where shoppers usually begin. It is built specifically for the WooCommerce Storefront theme, so the contact section follows the theme's own styles and layout and looks like a natural part of the page. Customers can also use it to send inquiries or feedback without leaving the homepage.

Everything is managed through the WordPress Customizer, which means you can add or change your details without writing code and preview the result as you go. You can display phone numbers, email addresses, a physical store location and social media links. A setting lets you enter your own Google Static Maps API key, which the map feature needs. The section is responsive, so it adapts to phones, tablets and desktop screens, and it works alongside the standard WooCommerce processes your store already uses.

Questions about Storefront Homepage Contact Section

Will this work with themes other than Storefront?

It is designed specifically for the WooCommerce Storefront theme. The contact section is built to match Storefront's native styles and homepage layout, so it is meant for stores using that theme rather than other WordPress themes.

Can I show a map of my store location?

Yes. You can display your physical store location, and there is a setting where you enter your own Google Static Maps API key. Google requires this key for the map to appear, so you will need to create one in your Google account.

Do I need to know how to code to set it up?

No. All contact details are added and edited in the WordPress Customizer. You fill in your phone number, email address, location and social media links, preview the result, and publish the changes when you are happy with them.

Does the contact section display well on mobile devices?

Yes. The section is responsive, so it adapts to different screen sizes and displays properly for shoppers browsing your homepage on phones, tablets or desktop computers.
