How Do I Create a Direct Link in WooCommerce Checkout?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 4:01 pm

The Checkout page on your WooCommerce store is where your customers go to finalize their purchase. This page is important because it’s where customers input their payment information and shipping details. As a result, you want to make sure that the Checkout page is as streamlined and user-friendly as possible.

One way to do this is to create a direct link to the Checkout page from other pages on your site. This way, customers can quickly and easily go from the product page (or any other page) to the Checkout page without having to go through the shopping cart first.

Creating a direct link to the Checkout page is actually quite easy. All you need to do is add a simple piece of code to the pages you want to link from.

For example, let’s say you want to create a direct link from the product page. You would simply add the following code snippet to the product page:

PRO TIP: If you are using WooCommerce Checkout and are looking to create a direct link, be aware that this could potentially create a security vulnerability. By creating a direct link, you are essentially bypassing the checkout process and giving customers direct access to your product. This could allow them to bypass payment or access your product without completing the checkout process. While this may not seem like a big deal, it could create serious security implications for your business. If you do decide to create a direct link, be sure to take precautions and only do so with products that you trust.
