Hikashop product insertion/translation plugins are functionalities which will allow you to display your Hikashop products through your Joomla articles. By this way, you’ll be able to create Joomla articles about your “favorite/most popular/..” products and easily display them.

Hikashop product insertion: This plugin will be used through your Article creation page (“Control panel->Article Manager->’Your article’”) with the “Product” button. This “Product” button enables you to add “Product(s) TAG” to your article.

Hikashop product translation: This plugin will be automatically used through your front-end and will translate your “product(s) TAG”.

This tutorial will explain you how to add an Hikashop product TAG to Joomla articles and the different way to display them.

First, we will see how to create and add them through the Hikashop product insertion plugin and how they can be translated by the Hikashop product translation plugin.
