Overview

One of the options to integrate your platform with the 2Checkout systems is to generate a buy-link that you can then apply to the Buy button on your web store. In this article, we will show you how to create a buy-link both for a single product as well as for a multiple-selection of products.

Availability

All merchants (on any type of account) can generate a link from their Control Panel.

Generate a buy-link for a single product

Follow the steps below to generate a buy-link for a single product:

Log in to your 2Checkout account in the Merchant Control Panel.
Navigate to Setup and click on Generate links.
- Learn how to manage buy-link behavior by using query parameters.

5. The last step is to click on Generate Link to create your buy-link and place it on the call-to-action button on your online store.

You can control order interface behavior with the advanced options for checkout.

Multi-select option in the Generate Links page

If you have more than 2000 products in your product catalog in your 2Checkout account, you can perform a multiple selection in the Generate links page, that allows you to select more products at a time instead of using individual search. This feature is available in all three shopping carts: default flow, ConvertPlus, and InLine cart.

To take advantage of the multi-select option in the Generate links page, you need to:

Log in to your 2Checkout Merchant Control Panel.
Navigate to Dashboard → Setup → Generate links.
Click on Checkout links and choose your shopping cart flow: default flows, ConvertPlus or InLine checkout.
