Methods

Basic shopping list methods will allow you to open or add products and recipes to the Whisk shopping list or open the Whisk add to basket screen.

Note: Basic methods do not send analytics, so you won't be able to get a dashboard. If you need tracking you can use event listeners. Also, you can use subscriptions for implementing basic tracking on your side.
