Thread: Use JavaScript to Automatically Fire / Click Add To Cart Button

In a sub directory I have a micro site with a "buy now" button that links to the actual product page in the main store.

The idea is that they select the quantity on the micro site and click "buy now". This should then go to the product page, change the quantity and "click" Add to Cart, so that they automatically end up in the Shopping Cart.

So far I have managed to use JavaScript, in the product description input, to adjust the quantity figure.

However I have been unable to make the Add to Cart button to fire!!

Can anyone help?

I would look to call a webservice addtocart from your micro site with jquery. Just make sure you do a post to the asmx (look at the actionservice.cs file in app code directory)

This way you can programmatically add to cart and then display a message or redirect to a new page.

Surely an easier way would be just to link to addtocart.aspx ?

You can add ProductID, VariantID, Price, Qty as (optional) querystring parameters,

EDIT - here's an example of the addtocart.aspx link :-

www.3mselect.co.uk/addtocart.aspx?productid=1593&variantid=1625&a mp;quantity=1

& in its most simple format :-

www.3mselect.co.uk/addtocart.aspx?productid=1593




Alternatively - you can build a complete cart externally & then submit it using tableorder_process.aspx which lets you submit multiple products - here are a couple of demos that do just this:-

Also worth pointing out that on the Ultrathon site - I have the price & availability updated in realtime by a javascript file that is dynamically generated from an xmlpackage.

@BFG 9000: Thank you very much. Linking to addtocart.aspx and using query string parameters was just what I needed.
