    In the following case:?
    – just one new field for the product is created (text) which is mandatory.?
    Will it be possible to have a direct add to cart URL and if yes what will be the additional parameter to pass??
    For example for the regular products it need just the product’s ID:?
    https://domain.com/?add-to-cart=55?
    In case there is a mandatory additional field:?
    a) is it possible at all with your plugin?
    b) what would be the variable name?
    c) is there also additional variables to pass in addition to b)

    Hi there,

    If the text field is required, the direct add-to-cart URL will throw an error like “field X is required”. The only workaround to this is to make the text field not required.

    I think you misunderstood me – I’d like to add the required field as well i.e. to add to cart a specific product with some predefined additional field using your plugin. Is this possible?

    And to add here some of my tests:

    • if I send the add-to-cart url without the specific variable (I’ve got its name from the form) – yes as you suggested it will not be added to the cart
    • however if I do include the variable in the url with some value – the product is added to the cart but surprisingly WITHOUT the variable value’s taken into consideration – is this a bug?

    Your original question was related to the “add to cart” URL, no? Our plugin does not modify that URL. So if you have a required text field, the add to cart URL is still the same: https://domain.com/?add-to-cart=55?

    But our plugin does trigger add to cart validation so there will be an error because the system is trying to add a product to cart that is missing data (the required field).

    Does that make sense?

    Done – just to close the case (I asked in my first question “is there also additional variables to pass in addition to b)” – after some more checking of the form you generate it happens that also the variable wapf_field_groups must be passed. In that case it works. So if anyone else needs this the format is the following:

    https://domain.com/?add-to-cart=SOMETHING&wapf%5Bfield_SOMETHING%5D=SOMETHING&wapf_field_groups=SOMETHING

    where SOMETHING must be replaced with appropriate values based on the specific product’s data.

    And just to clarify again – the URL in my initial question was an example “before” and my question is how it should look “after” if I would like to add specific product with specific predefined custom field. In my previous reply I show how to do it and it is doable. Thanks!
