Josh87 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Instead of a product block, I want a regular ol' button to link my customer to a checkout page. My store sells one product. I want to be able to use regular ol' buttons to get people from my home page or store page into the checkout (with that one product already in the cart). Please advise. Link to comment
paul2009 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Use the Product Block to create the button, but then enable Express Checkout in the checkout settings. When the user clicks the Add to Cart button (you can change the caption to ‘Buy Now’ or similar) they will go straight to checkout Me: I'm Paul, a SQSP user for >18 yrs & Circle Leader since 2017.

Josh87 Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 Hi Paul - thank you! So When I do this and choose a product block that includes a button, that button only lets me link to the two pages on my site, and NOT the checkout. I want the button to go to the checkout. I have Express Checkout enabled and I only have one product. I want the button to simply take them to the checkout. Any way to do this? Am I uploading the wrong button? Link to comment

If you have already added a product block to a page clicking the button in this product block could send the customer straight to the checkout to purchase the product, but only if express checkout is enabled. Let me know if any of this isn’t clear. Edited June 2, 2022 by paul2009 Josh87 1 Me: I'm Paul, a SQSP user for >18 yrs & Circle Leader since 2017.

Josh87 Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 Thanks Paul - When I add a product block, as far as I can tell the button link isn't linked to anything. So I have to open the link editor to manage where it goes. I found a workaround by copying the checkout page URL and plugging it into the button link (web address option). So I have it working now, but it seems there should still be an "automatic" way of connecting them. Link to comment

I think we're on different pages. Please see this video that shows how to add a Product Block, link it to your product and then use it. https://recordit.co/bpeJmUCfa3 If it doesn't help, I recommend you contact Squarespace Customer Care as they should be able to help.

AlexSantos Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 The support link that Paul referenced in his first reply will answer your question as a 'how to'. Perhaps the image below, taken from the said link, encapsulates your goal. Now go to that link and make it happen 😁 Link to comment
