### Easily link to your Volusion products from within WordPress

Once the plugin has been configured, you can easily embed product images using the
WordPress `Add an Image` button. Adding product images has never been easier! (see
the Screenshots section for an example).

You want to spend your time writing the best content, not hunting for the link for
the product you’re blogging about. This plugin is simple to set up, and powerful.
If you use WordPress and Volusion, it’s a must have.
