Direct Link to product

Backlight 4, 5 & 6 Support
#1

Hi there,

would it be possible to have a link when clicked the normal “add to basket” dialog is being shown? What I want to achieve is that when my customer clicks on a link in der page-copy a product is beeing added to basket… think of it like “Black Friday offer - all digital photos for price XY”

Thanks and cheers
Elmar

Have you looked at using a write-in button?

Not yet - gonna try it. Thx

Ok - tried it but not working as hoped.

I have a product called: buy_all
And a price schema: kita_buy_all (this price schema has the product buy_all)

My button is created:
“<” button class=“add-to-cart” data-item=“kita_buy_all”>Alle Bilder als digitaler Download kaufen

When clicking the button I get: there are not products…

When I do not define a data-price the first schema of my price schemas are being used. I would need to define a different price-schema where only this product will be shown. any idea?

There are a number of things that can cause a “product not found” error. Make sure that all the parts of the button text are present: data-price (the pricing scheme) must be included in the button code.
Make sure that all pricing fields, including Shipping, are filled out. And make sure spelling of the pricing scheme in the button code exactly matches the scheme you created.

Hi,
I’m also looking for a solution.
First question: Is it possible embedding

<button class="add-to-cart" data-item="360°-Video-Paket-S" data-name="360°-Video-Paket-S" data-price="default">Jetzt Buchen</button>

in a Kkburra html website to trigger the card in a Pangolin template???

Best regards,
Oliver

No. Kookaburra does not yet support the cart

#8

so the button class only works in Pangolin?

#9

html buttons can be used in Kookaburra, but the “add-to-cart” class won’t do anything because Kookaburra doesn’t support the cart.

#10

Thank you Rod ! :slight_smile:

#11

Cart is listed in the Kookaburra roadmap so it’s probably just a matter of time

#12

will see if I can trigger the “add-to-card” thing with a link from Kkburra to Pangolin

#13

If you create a link that takes the customer to a Pangolin page that has an Add-to-Cart button, that would work.

#14

Thank you Rod, yes, I will try that :wink:

#15

Ok - so I tried the button as described in the docu. Problem: only works if the product that should be directly put into the basket is of type “physical”. I can not get “virtual” to work. Is this a known issue, “works as designed” or a bug :slight_smile:

Write-in buttons are for products that can’t be sold in an album. For example, I use the write in buttons for books and workshop spaces.
The only way for the Cart to make digital images available for download is if each item is added to the cart by clicking the cart icons in thumbnails or large images.

Using a write-in button, there are a couple of options I can think of:

You can offer a “buy all” product and price it at 0. You would then have to fulfill the order manually (create a zip file containing all photos and emailing it or make it available in DropBox or other delivery method).

Another option is to use the button to offer all images for purchase at a 100% discount in the form of a discount code that you can then email to the customer. The customer can then go to the album, add each image to the cart and then use the discount code at checkout.
With this option, the images would be available to the customer for them to download.

Hello,
when can we expect a card add-on that works for Kookaburra?

Best regards,
Oliver

I don’t have any estimate on that right now.
