WooCommerce being the most popular eCommerce plugin lets you create, manage and maintain an e-commerce store based on WordPress. Sometimes, you might need to insert a quick link to buy a product in WooCommerce custom template. Especially, in the case of subscription products.
In such cases, you can let your customers/users to bypass some extra steps of the checkout process such as:
- Add to Cart
- Go to Cart Page
- Then go to Checkout page for Payment
With the help of a single click (quick buy link/button), you can redirect your customer directly to the cart/checkout page for payment. You just need to add the following code for redirecting customer to the cart page:
|
1 2 3 |
<?php echo home_url('/cart/?add-to-cart='.$product_id); ?> |
Use this code as:
<a href=”<?php echo home_url(‘/cart/?add-to-cart=’.$product_id);?>”>Buy Now</a>
Here, cart is the slug of WooCommerce Cart page and $product_id is the WooCommerce product ID.
Add the following code for redirecting customer to the checkout page:
|
1 2 3 |
<?php echo home_url('/checkout/?add-to-cart='.$product_id) ?> |
Use this code as:
<a href=”<?php echo home_url(‘/checkout/?add-to-cart=’.$product_id);?>”>Buy Now</a>
Here, checkout is the slug of WooCommerce Checkout Page and $product_id is the WooCommerce product ID.
Thank you for the shortcode. Where exactly should we place this shortcode?
<a href=””>Buy Now
I am to show it next to Add to Cart button.
Hello Arshad,
You have to put this code into your woo template. If you don’t know where this template, follow the below steps:
1) Copy the templates from Woo commerce folder to your currently active theme (Parent or Child witch one you have activated)
2) Search the “Buy Now” button from those templates (single product or product listing Page)
3) Insert this code right in the next of that “Buy Now” button
Thanks for reaching us out. Let us know if you need any other assistance from us.

Thanks for the article. This works perfectly for my needs!!!
Not only is it a standalone “quick buy now” link/button to checkout, but it lets me use my own button image 😀
By the way, I had to uncheck the following option in Woocommerce settings –> Products: “Redirect to the cart page after successful addition”. Otherwise, the url for checkout will send the user to cart.
This method doesnt work for variable products? How can I add support for variable products?

doesn’t work for variable products as in products with options that change the price does not work with this. It says please choose product options and does not add item to cart.
So i found if you add &variation_id=### where ### is the variation id number found in the woocommerce variation setting
so just use the right variation with these ur parameters use:
?add-to-cart=###&variation_id=###Dear William,
We’re glad that you found the solution. So followings are the updated codes for variation products:
For Cart Page:
For Checkout Page:
