Shareable Checkout URLs

Custom checkout links automatically populate the cart with specific products and redirect customers straight to checkout with a unique session id.

The custom checkout link path is /checkout-link/ and is not customizable.

Supported parameters

Products

plaintext
products=123:2,456:1

A comma-separated list of product IDs and quantities. For example, 123:2,456:1. This feature supports simple products with no additional options. Individual variations can also be added to cart by using the correct variation ID.

Coupon

plaintext
coupon=SPRING10

A coupon code to apply to the cart. For example, SPRING10.

Example

plaintext
https://yourstore.com/checkout-link/?products=123:2,456:1&coupon=SPRING10

In this link:

  • Product ID 123 will be added with quantity 2
  • Product ID 456 with quantity 1
  • The coupon code SPRING10 will be applied
  • The customer is taken directly to the checkout page

Sessions

Once the user is redirected to the checkout page, the cart is populated with the products and coupon code. The final URL includes a session parameter storing the ID of the session. Future changes to the checkout will be persisted in the session, enabling persistent and shareable carts.
