I would like to add a third party link to a product that acts as a buy now or add to cart button. I need this because I am selling ebooks and printed books on my Shopify store but I’m only able to sell ebooks because I do not have the capability to sell both due to an inventory and storage facility deficiency. I decided to allow Amazon to handle the printed books transactions and I have a link to my Amazon bookshelf to share on Shopify. Otherwise I will have to market Amazon in my product commercials instead of Shopify. Please help ASAP.
Topic summary
A store owner wants to sell both ebooks and printed books on Shopify but lacks inventory/storage capacity for physical books. Their solution is to handle ebook sales directly through Shopify while redirecting customers to their Amazon bookshelf for printed book purchases.
Key requirement:
- Add a third-party link (to Amazon) that functions as a “Buy Now” or “Add to Cart” button for specific products
- This would allow marketing their Shopify store instead of Amazon in product commercials
Proposed solution:
A respondent suggests implementing a feature that redirects Shopify customers to an affiliate or Amazon product URL. This would display a button allowing customers to either purchase from the Shopify store or visit the external URL (Amazon) to complete their purchase.
The discussion remains open regarding specific implementation details or technical steps to enable this functionality.
