Description
The WooCommerce External/Affiliate Product Link ShortCodes plugin allows you to directly insert links to your external or affiliate products already in WooCommerce right into your other pages and posts without requiring the visitor visit the product page first.
Usage Example
[wc_external_link product_id='241']Link Text[/wc_external_link]
Available properties:
- product_id: The ID of your product
- new_window: exclude for same window opening or set to ‘true’ if you want the link to open in a new window
- link_title: exclude for none or set to whatever you want your visitor to see when they mouseover the link
- link_rel: exclude for none or set to one of the types from here:
- params: add in your url variables (does not add ? or prefixed & to an extension of already in place product variables). This appends to the product url entered into the product.
Property: product_id
The product_id property uses the ID of the product you want to link to.
Note: This plugin does not check to be sure the product is an external/affiliate product.
[wc_external_product product_id='1']This is the link text[/wc_external_product]
Property: new_window
