Buy Product Link

Overview

The Buy Product Link add-on generates a link to quickly purchase any product in your store.

You can send the link to the customer in a social network, or your customers can send the link to their friends or share it on Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Clicking on the link will take your customers either to the cart or checkout page to place the order right away.

To learn how to use the new functionality, follow quick and easy steps below.

The add-on is compatible with CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor 4.3.1 and above, but only versions 4.11.x, 4.12.x and 4.13.x are supported. It is also compatible with version 4.2.4 but requires making some additional adjustments (see the Additional settings for version 4.2.4 section).

your_site.com/index.php?dispatch=buy_link.add_product&product_id=[product_id]

• SEO parameter—Specify the parameter in the SEO link. The value should be without spaces. For example, the link looks like your_site.com/buy_product/[product_id], where buy_product is defined in this setting. The ‘Use a SEO link’ setting should be enabled.
• Redirect link—Choose whether the user should be redirected to the cart page or checkout page once they click on the buy product link.
• Show button Buy now with 1-click—Tick to display the Buy Now with 1 Click button on the product details page.

It will lead to a quick purchase of the product.
