Get rid of Buy button and replace all buy buttons with direct links to each page on the store.

Topic summary

A user wants to modify their Shopify store’s collection page to replace all “Add to Cart” buttons with direct links to individual product pages. They’re using an outdated theme but lack resources for a complete overhaul.

Current Setup:

  • Shopify collection embedded as a “buy collection” on their WordPress marketing site
  • Want to retain the page structure (no headers, minimal shop elements) while changing cart functionality

Proposed Solution:

  • Edit the product liquid section to replace add-to-cart functionality with direct product page links
  • For unique links per product: create a custom metafield for each product to store its specific URL
  • Add a small snippet to the product template to render these links

Considerations:

  • This is described as a manageable task, not a major overhaul
  • External links may have minor SEO implications

Hello,

We use an old theme, which is generally an issue, but we don’t have the resources to overhaul it at the moment. and the shopify collection is linked as a buy collection to our website.

Here is the page on our shopify site

https://www.positivepurchasingstore.com/collections/elearning

Here is the buy collection on our marketing website (Wordpress).

We want to replace the cart function with a direct-to-page option, retaining the entire structure of this part of the page (that is, no headers, etc., from the actual shop page). Is it possible to take partial code and modify it so that all of the add to cart links just take you to the product page?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Iain_Anderson you need to edit product liquid section and replace add to cart functionality with proper link.
If you want each product to use own unique link - you need to create product metafield to store it. Add this link to each product and add small snippet to product template to render link. This is not a big job.
But external links are a bit antiSEO.
