Generating an Add to Cart Link Dynamically

    Hello,

    I have a custom template that is pulling in product information. Depending on a few fields that a user selects (the product itself and whether or not it’s a variation), I want to create an add to cart button that is customized depending on the choices.

    I’ve used the foxy cart docs to create a link like:

    <a href="https://YOURSTORE.foxycart.com/cart?price=998.00&name=Safe+Heat+Kit+with+Stove+Plug&code=319">Add To Cart</a>

    However, FoxyShop adds a hash to all of the field values so the above does not correctly add the items to the cart. When you output a basic add to cart link with the foxyshop_product_link() function you can see the hashed values in the link it generates:

    <a href="https://YOURSTORE.foxycart.com/cart?price||16cfe69c0f454432676b1b9bcacb5dca2d9a69329166838594c8b8067686b5b0=998.00&name||a458787648af974d86a68afda7ed1e180fef7d1b41a5b0311866a1ae3af50d83=Safe+Heat+Kit+with+Stove+Plug&code||2c226fcf865000059fbf09fecea44c6915ec050ab48a65b1246d743f6773dba1=319" class="foxyshop_button">Add To Cart</a>

    I’ve tried adding a link with the shortcode;

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[product name="extherminate-safe-heat-kit" variations="Extra=Cord"]Add To Cart[/product]'); ?>

    However, the variation is created and added on the spot rather than accessing the pre-existing variation (with the same name and value) I made with the FoxyShop backend. Meaning that the price difference (p+50.00) doesn’t factor in.

    Could someone please help me by letting my know either:

    a) How to generate an add to cart button dynamically (including pulling in the proper hash values)

    or

    b) use the shortcode with a variation that I have previously created with the backend

    Thanks,

    V

    @vincentgustav,

    Thanks for your email. If you aren’t concerned about the security of doing links without the hashing, just uncheck the “Use Cart Validation” option in the FoxyShop settings and then uncheck that same feature in the FoxyCart advanced settings.

    You could try doing:

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[product name="extherminate-safe-heat-kit" variations="Extra=Cord{p+50}"]Add To Cart[/product]'); ?>

    Thanks for the answer,

    I can’t believe I didn’t think to pass in the p+50 in the shortcode.

    I ended up saving shopping card links with the method foxyshop_product_link() to a variable and manipulating the string so that I could create an ‘add to cart’ that would add multiple products while maintaining the hashed values.

    Thanks again,

    V
