Description

MKE Direct Checkout Link Generator for WooCommerce helps store owners create simple direct checkout URLs for individual WooCommerce products.

Instead of sending a customer through a product page and cart page, you can place a generated URL in an email, landing page button, social post, ad, or campaign message. When the customer clicks the link, the plugin adds the selected product to the WooCommerce cart and redirects the customer to checkout.

Example direct checkout link:

https://yourstore.com/?dcl_product=123

Optional quantity:

https://yourstore.com/?dcl_product=123&qty=2

Optional coupon:

https://yourstore.com/?dcl_product=123&coupon=START10

The plugin also supports the legacy aas_direct_checkout parameter for older links.

Notes

For variable products or variable subscriptions, use the actual variation ID rather than the parent product ID. Product availability, purchasability, stock handling, coupon validation, checkout behavior, taxes, shipping, and payment collection are still handled by WooCommerce and your configured WooCommerce extensions.

This plugin requires WooCommerce. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by WooCommerce or Automattic.

FAQ

Does this replace WooCommerce checkout?: No. The plugin sends customers to the normal WooCommerce checkout page after adding the selected product to the cart.
Does it support variable products?: Yes, but use the actual variation ID in the generated link. Parent product IDs may not add a purchasable variation to the cart.
Does it support coupons?: Yes. If coupon parameters are enabled in the plugin settings, you can append &coupon=CODE to the generated link. WooCommerce still controls whether the coupon is valid for the cart.
Can I change the URL parameter?: Yes. The Settings tab lets you change the primary product parameter. The default is dcl_product.
Does this plugin clear the cart first?: It can. The setting is enabled by default for cleaner single-offer checkout links, and you can turn it off in the Settings tab.
Does it work with subscriptions?: Simple subscriptions should work when WooCommerce Subscriptions is installed and the subscription product is purchasable. For variable subscriptions, use the actual variation ID.
