You can integrate the Vertical Featured Products Scroller into your site by using a widget or a shortcode.
To mark a product as featured, go to: Products > Products and select the Star in the featured column. Alternatively, select Quick Edit and then the Featured option.
The shortcode is:
[wcfps]
Available shortcode options are:
<ul>
<li>id (unique ids are required if you want to use more than one scroller on the same page)</li>
<li>num_slides (the number of visible products)</li>
<li>speed (scroller speed in miliseconds, default is 5000)</li>
<li>category_slug (limits products by category slug)</li>
</ul>
Example usage:
[wcfps id=”scroller-one” num_slides=”3″ speed=”6000″ category_slug=”shoes”]

This plugin was initially designed as a theme function but we thought it might come in handy for someone else. It is designed to use the following plugins:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/" rel="ugc">Custom Post Type UI</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/taxonomy-images/" rel="ugc">Taxonomy Images</a></li>
</ul>
Of course you can create your own custom post types and taxonomies but the Custom Post Type UI plugin makes very light work of it.
The plugin creates a widget for adding featured posts. There are other plugins that do this but Featured Custom Posts allows for custom post types and taxonomies. It was created to show featured products that were created as custom post types.
Features
<ul>
<li>Select number of posts to display (default: 10)</li>
<li>Post Type</li>
<li>Custom Taxonomy</li>
<li>Custom Taxonomy Term</li>
</ul>
New In Version 1.1
<ul>
<li>Added Permalink Base for post URL (Defaults to post’s GUID)</li>
<li>Added Post Title as the link text if Taxonomy Images plugin isn’t present</li>
</ul>
Example Usage
Custom Post Type: “products” 
Taxonomy: “product-tags” 
Taxonomy Term: “featured”
In this example our custom post type of “products” allows us to add products in a similar way to posts. Now with our custom taxonomy of “product-tags” we can tag our products with the tag “featured”. Plug this information into the widget via the wp-admin area and you’re all set!
Future Updates
<ul>
<li>Allow for multiple taxonomy terms</li>
<li>Add thumbnail size support</li>
</ul>

Featured Custom Posts Widget
