Import My Latest Twit to Sidebar

Wondering to have your latest post from Twitter on X-Cart? It's possible to import your latest twit into your X-Cart 5 store right into the Sidebar.

Use case

Here is how it works for your clients: your customers will see your sidebar with a new section called Latest Tweet. This new section shows both text and image (if available) from your last post on twitter.com

What it gives you is a quick informing your online customers of what you are dealing with to provide them with best offers. For example, you can share your warehouse new arrivals via Twitter from your mobile. So, since the twitter is still a leading platform for sharing micro posts and updates, using it also on your website is just  so flexible and easy.

Installation

To let this add-on work you'd need to have a Twitter App on your verified twitter.com account (phone number is usually required). The App created on the Developer Page at twitter.com  provides you with the keys to access your twitter posts via API that's already built-in inside this very add-on and lets your customers see it on the X-Cart 5 frontend. Once you fill in the add-on settings in X-Cart Admin page with your Twitter API Keys, the Latest Tweet section will always show your recent post.
