Cart permalinks

Using cart permalinks lets you create a curated checkout experience for your customers. When you create a cart permalink, you can select the product variants, quantities, and discounts that you'd like to apply.

There are two kinds of cart permalinks that you can share with customers:

You can embed cart permalinks in webpages as regular links or buttons, or share them with directly with customers. You can share cart permalinks in email campaigns, social media posts, or chat messages. The same link is reusable, and creates a new checkout for each customer.
