Blocks for Discogs Sellers

Gutenberg blocks for Discogs Sellers to embed a realtime sync of profile data and Marketplace Listings with sorting and tons of customization options.

Embed your Discogs marketplace listings on your own site, allowing you to build an entirely customizable digital storefront on your own platform with up-to-the-minute inventory syncing from your Discogs account. Send customers to your website but leave the complications of checkout & payment to Discogs.

Add trust to your online record store by displaying a Seller Badge with a link to your Discogs store, plus realtime stats of your positive feedback and ratings.

Powered by the Discogs API, this plugin requires a valid Discogs account and personal access token to use.

Options for front-end sorting, filtering, and pagination to easily navigate large sets of titles.

Display data from any seller whose profile is set to public — not just your own.

SELLER INVENTORY

• Display titles from a seller’s Marketplace Listings as grid or list
  • Choose default desktop column count
  • Built-in responsive layout adjustments for smaller screens

SELLER LISTING

• Display a single marketplace listing via dynamic URL parameters, post meta fields, or providing the Listing ID per block
  • Dynamic ID population allows a single page to serve as template for all listings
  • Manual ID population requires page-per-listing, but builds SEO value

• Works for any Marketplace listing

SELLER PROFILE

• Display a visually-pleasing Seller Profile section featuring your Discogs profile data

• Statistics from Discogs Marketplace listings
  • Buyer Rating (stars + percentage), Seller Rating (stars + percentage), rating counts, and items for sale count

SELLER BADGE

• Banner graphic background or background color
• Realtime statistics from Discogs Marketplace listings
  • Seller Rating (stars + percentage), rating counts, and items for sale count
• Visual customization of colors and border
• Works for any public username

SETTINGS PAGE

• Fields for providing username and personal access token to blocks globally
• Visual API rate limit interface for keeping track of current rate limits
• Transient cache interface for clearing outdated data
• Debug log for tracking every API call to Discogs

CACHING

One of the most important features in this plugin is the ability to cache Discogs API calls in temporary transients. This has several benefits: * Reduces the amount of times your token needs to «ping» Discogs, preventing API overages or your site being blocked for overuse * Drastically reduces the page load time after data has been cached

Caching works for all blocks and types of API calls, WITH THE EXCEPTION of when users are allowed to sort/filter on the front-end (seller inventory). Allowing sort parameters turns caching off, and will require an API call on every page load.

COMPATIBILITY

• This plugin requires a minimum PHP version of 8.0
