Is there an easy way to have an "Add To Cart" link or button that we can put on a supporting product information page?

We want to have a more robust and involved product page in addition to a completed Product listing in the SmitCart.BuyNow module.

Can we allow customers to add the product to their cart directly from another page (from outside of the BuyNow module)?

In a nutshell, we're looking for a "Buy Now" button (module) that we can install on our more in-depth product page and provide the same functionality as the "Add To Cart" button in the SmithCart.BuyNow Product Page.

Thanks,

US

Yes, Smith Cart supports adding products directly to your cart by adding productid in the url or querystring. This is useful is you are developing your own product catalog navigation & menu system using another framework like flash or want to build your product catalog using normal dnn pages or if you are just selling one product and dont want to use the cart product listing page. The Smith Cart supports adding products directly thru the querystring in the url. Follow this steps to obtain the correct link for hyperlinking:

  1. Add a new product in the Smith Cart module admin from the manage products screen.
  2. Click the view cart screen from the product catalog and go to the cart.
  3. Cut and paste the url from the browser window and paste it into your favorite editor or notepad.
  4. Add “?productid=1” to the end of the url where product id is the product id assigned after you add a product from the manage products screen in step 1 above.


Example URL:

http://localhost/dnn490/Store/tabid/5...

Scott -

How would you directly update the price of the product to take into account selected variants?

Hi Art,

Currently the cart doesnt support adding variants to the cart directly using the querystring method only regular products. We would have to customize the cart to allow for that.

Thanks! That's what we're looking for.

Is there a way to avoid sending the user to the Shopping Cart after they click the link with '?productid=#' link?

Thanks,

US

Not currently. Where did you want to take them if not to the cart screen, directly to step 1 checkout?

No, was thinking about like a "silent" updating of the MiniCart...

I think it works that way when you have MiniCart enabled in the BuyNow module...
