How Cart URLs Work

With EDD Cart URL store owners can prepare a cart with products and quantities. The store owner will get a link (URL) to send to customers.

When the customer clicks on the link the pre-defined products will be added to their cart and they will be redirected to a page the store owner chooses.

FAQ

What if there are items in the customers cart before visiting the URL?
Answer: If the ‘Clear cart when visiting this url’ option is checked the customers cart is cleared before before the products are added. When the option is not checked it will add the set products to the existing cart of the customer.

How many Cart URLs can I create?
There is no special limit to how many Cart URLs you can create. As long as your hosting can handle it, the plugin can handle it.
