Link to send Bundles in to the Shopping Cart directly

[Sybille]

Hi,

Is there a link I could use to puts products directly into the shopping cart?

 

I would use it for the following:

If the user clicks on a bundle I published in my shop, all the products belonging to this bundle should be send to the shopping cart (without any wizard for the configuration of the options) and the user should be forwarded to the shopping cart directly.

 

Thanks in advanced for our ideas.

hmmm... can I say both yes and no to this question.

 

in theory, the answer is yes because *if* you have a product bundle containing products that need no additional configuration (e.g just one billing cycle, no configurable options, no domain required etc), then all the products within the bundle get added to the cart.

 

however, in practice, if any one of the products needs additional configuration, then the user has to go through the configuration process - there's no way around that using bundle links (directly or in the cart).... with individual products, you can pass the config details in the URL; with bundles you can't do that - you just pass the link of the bundle itself.

 

it might be possible to do it using the API functions - but that's a little more complicated that just tweaking a URL!

Many thanks. We tried to do it by API function but didn't found a solution till now. We keep on trying.
