To Link to a Particular Product in your Cart From Internal Pages
How to make a link from a page to a particular product in your shopping cart.
This could be used to get people to learn more about your showcase products and give them an easy way to purchase should it capture their attention.
Here is the link format you will need to link to the item:
/shopping/sc_cart/sc_jump.asp&omnijump=2&itemcode=xxxxx?guid=[guid]
All you need to do is substitute the itemcode you are trying to link in place of the xxxxx, then paste the whole string into the link box that you get when you add a link.
This will take them directly to the More information page for the product.
Remember until you highlight some text with your mouse the link will show up greyed out and useless. The system needs to know that you are trying to make a hyperlink.
You configure the more information section of an item in the "To fill in your more information page, Click here" link that you can find at the bottom of the product edit page for any product in Product Maint. This is where you could detail a product in a way that encourages adding it to cart easily.
To Link to a Product or Category From an External Page
For example: http://www."yourdomain".com/username/cat:324
To find the Category ID you hover over the category in the cart, then look at the bottom of your browser where the URL is displayed showing the categoryid.
Admin >> System >> Product Maint
To go to an Item code :
For example: http://www."yourdomain".com/username/item:0900
You can get the item code from Product Maint.
And to go to a specific item,
http://www.yourdomain.com/username/prod:1281
This one uses product ID which is more exact than Item code in the case of multiple colours etc.
To Link to a Product (and specify a different currency)
Add the following string to the end of the link parameter:
¤cy=<iso 3 digit code for currency>
For example: http://www.yourdomain.com/username/prod:1281¤cy=USD
This forces the product to display in the specified currency. Useful where you want a different currency to the default displayed for users clicking the link.
