Can permalink attributes be used to pre-load the cart with subscription/plan products? There’s an option to include a product variant id, but can we include a plan id?

Hey @Jinxo and @saeba ! I believe I figured it out, this url will clear the cart, add items with a selling_plan and then redirect to checkout: https://{SHOP}.myshopify.com/cart/clear?return_to=/cart/add?items[][id]={VARIANT_ID}%26items[][quantity]={QUANTITY}%26items[][selling_plan]={SELLING_PLAN_I…

Hey @Phillip_Malboeu , thank you so much for this great solution. It works very well - I’m just wondering if you can add a discount code on to it somehow, as you can with permalinks like the below? e.g. https://{SHOP}.myshopify.com//cart/39434614276148:1,39408637149236:1?discount=MEMBERSHIP I put …

Hey @Amelia7 , no worries! Adding a %26discount=MEMBERSHIP would do it. %26 is the URL encoding of the &. Cheers, Phil

You’re amazing, thank you so much!

Hi. This is really helpful, but I couldn’t find any official documentation about the URL query params for subscriptions. Is this method officially supported by Shopify? Or is there a possibility that this method will stop working someday? Thanks.

(I didn’t mention anyone in the above post, so just in case.) Hi. @Phillip_Malboeu Is there any possibility that you could share your ideas on this? https://community.shopify.com/post/1375174

Hi @Phillip_Malboeu , Got it, thank you very much for the reply.

Hey @Phillip_Malboeu , I am trying to build a link that takes customers to a cart page (not checkout page) - that is pre loaded with any combo of subscriptions / one time products. I then want a discount code to be auto applied when they get to checkout based on the code I put in the URL, I am trying…

Hey @coysammy , Could you try %26discount= instead of ?discount=? Let me know! Phil

Hi, @Phillip_Malboeu ! I have the same question about discount applying to permalink, as @coysammy . Adding “%26discount=my_discount_code_here” at the end of permalink doesn’t work. If I add promocode manually it works as expected. Any ideas?

Hey @d_tehrani ,

Well can’t be sure, but I based the previous answers on the Cart ajax API: https://shopify.dev/api/ajax/reference/cart
I’m trusting it!

Cheers,
Phil
