Is it possible to automatically add a product to cart for tagged customers?
If so , how? Is this a simple code addition or do I have to use an app to do this?
So for example if I have tagged a customer as VIP, whenever that customer logs in we add a specific product to their cart?
Thanks
I don’t think a simple code addition would be able do this. You would need automation app. There are a few apps available in the app store. I would suggest you to try some of the apps and talk to the app support. Hopefully they would be able to guide you.
This will need to make a lot of changes to the code, if you have experience with liquid and JS it will help you a lot.
You need to create if/else customer has a VIP tagged, there will be a hidden display product and at the same time make the add to cart event implicitly with JS.
Ideally, you should hire a professional, it will do this quickly in more than 1 hour.
Hope it helps!
@lg123 you can do this with some custom code, you don’t need an app.
Basically there are 2 areas to address:
Liquid conditional to see if the customer is logged in: https://shopify.github.io/liquid/tags/control-flow/
Shopify Ajax API to check if the product is in the cart already, and if not then add it: https://shopify.dev/api/ajax
If you don’t have a developer on your team and want this handled for you feel free to contact my team at speedboostr.com/contact, my team does customizations like this all the time.
If you do take a crack at it yourself, make sure you backup your theme and work on the backup theme (you should always do this when making theme changes, to ensure you have a backup in case something goes wrong).
