With the text link, will it integrate with LeadPages? I’m trying to use one of their sales page templates and the shortcode keeps redirecting to the home page of the website instead of the buy now button to purchase the item. The domain is [www.MilitarySpouseBusinessSummit.com] and my LeadPage is currently the 404 page.
December 5, 2014 at 1:00 pm #45587wzpModeratorWhat is the link you are trying to use, and what exactly is happening?
December 6, 2014 at 2:37 am #45588Kristen RobinsonMemberI’ve installed the shortcodes plugin and I tried the following variations on my LeadPage on buying the product.
The domain is MilitarySpouseBusinessSummit.com.
When I tried using [http://www.MilitarySpouseBusinessSummit.com/?wp_eStore_add_to_cart=1] it redirects to the home page.
When I tried using [http://www.MilitarySpouseBusinessSummit.com/checkout/?wp_eStore_add_to_cart=1] it redirects to [http://www.MilitarySpouseBusinessSummit.com/checkout] and just refreshes the page.
December 6, 2014 at 2:52 am #45589adminKeymasterYou don’t have a shopping cart shortcode on your checkout page. The add to cart button always needs a shopping cart shortcode so it can show the items that was added to the cart. So make sure you have the following shortcode on your checkout page:
[wp_eStore_cart]
Alternatively, you can use the Buy Now button option (which bypasses the cart). Here is an example of what I am talking about:

February 5, 2015 at 5:59 pm #45591Kristen RobinsonMemberI’m having some issues with the shopping cart on my main website. Here’s the link I”m using: [http://www.kristenrdesign.com/?wp_eStore_subscribe=7] and I’m getting a error message from PayPal. What am I missing?
February 6, 2015 at 12:09 am #45592wpCommerceModerator@Kristen, Do you see the same error if you use a shortcode?
April 25, 2015 at 6:15 pm #45593WebGuy123MemberHello. I am currently using a buy now link for my sales page, which takes the user straight to paypal to make the order (not to the shopping cart). I am now in the process of implementing an exit intent popup, that will give the user a 30% off discount if they order the product from that popup window.
I tried using something similar to this, but it didnt work: [http://www.example.com/?wp_eStore_buy_now=1&discount_code=COUPONCODE]
When using buy it now, is it possible to sell it for a discounted version? Or is the only option to do it via the shopping cart instead (or to make a duplicate product, which has the discount already applied to the base price)
April 25, 2015 at 10:36 pm #45594adminKeymasterCreate another eStore product which is the discount version. Then use that product from your popup.
Coupons can only be applied in the shopping cart. So alternatively, you can use the add to cart type button with a shopping cart approach.
August 10, 2015 at 5:39 pm #45595poseidon_emlMemberI want to create a link now with a discount, so:
[http://www.example.com/?wp_eStore_buy_now=2&discount_code=COUPONCODE]
But the discount does not apply … could help me solve this problem
August 10, 2015 at 9:34 pm #45596wzpModeratorCoupons only work with the cart. The link you proposed using is for a Buy Now product. Try this:
[http://example.com/?wp_eStore_add_to_cart=1&discount_code=COUPONCODE]
If you want the illusion of a Buy Now link, with a coupon, try this “trick,” which is a variation of the Add To Cart text link:
- Create a page called “Checkout” (you can call it anything really).
- Put the shopping cart shortcode [wp_eStore_cart] on that page.
- For your link, use the following as the target URL (you will need to replace some parameters with actual values):
[http://example.com/checkout/?wp_eStore_add_to_cart=1&discount_code=COUPONCODE]
When your users click on that link, they will get sent to the checkout page with the item added to the cart and the discount code applied. Then they will click the checkout button to make the payment.
September 1, 2015 at 6:47 pm #45597spbmrmusicMemberThis is an awesome feature! Like so many others with this plugin. Thank you.
So, I’ve been using this link:
[http://example.com/checkout/?wp_eStore_add_to_cart=1&discount_code=COUPONCODE]
which has worked brilliantly.
What I have been struggling with is how to change the quantity. For example, this discount is only valid for quantities of 12 of this specific product.
I tried to append &c_input=”12″, I even tried &add_qty=”12″ (I saw that field somewhere else), but I can’t seem to get it working.
Any advice, please?
September 1, 2015 at 8:15 pm #45598wzpModeratorTry…
[http://example.com/checkout/?wp_eStore_add_to_cart=1&discount_code=COUPONCODE&quantity=12]
September 1, 2015 at 8:48 pm #45599spbmrmusicMemberYou star.
It was the quotes that were getting in my way!
Thank you ))
