Creating Custom Buy Links

While SureCart provides copy/paste buy links when you create your product prices, sometimes you may want to create custom purchase links that allow your users to purchase a product. 

You can even specify several different products or prices and the quantities for each. You can accomplish this using URL parameters.

Creating The Link

In this section, we’ll walk you through the process of creating custom purchase links for your products.

Finding the Price ID

The first step is to find the price ID that you want to use for the line item. You can do this by navigating to your Edit Product page and clicking on Copy Links next to the price.

This will open a new section that contains all of the links associated with your product. Next, click Copy next to the Price ID box:

Creating the URL

To add line items, you will want to use the line_items parameter in the URL. The URL accepts multiple options, so it will follow the format:

https://yoursite.com/checkout?line_items[0][price_id]=5366e5a3

Replace ‘https://yoursite.com/checkout?” with your actual WordPress site link.

Enter the price id you copied after “[price_id]= “

When you click on the newly created link, it will redirect you to the usual product page.

Changing the quantity

You can also specify the quantity of a line item in the URL as well. This would give the line item a quantity of “2”.

https://yoursite.com/checkout?line_items[0][price_id]=5366e5a3&line_items[0][quantity]=2

Here’s how the change will reflect on the product page after clicking on the new link.

Adding multiple items

You may want to add more than a single line item to the checkout. To do that, you can do this:

https://yoursite.com/checkout?line_items[0][price_id]=5366e5a3&line_items[1][price_id]=402d8e25

How the product page will look after clicking on the link.

You will also need the price ID of the additional product item that you plan to show.

As you can see, we are adding an additional line_items parameter, but instead of using the “key” [0], we are using [1] to indicate it’s a separate line item.
