yith wishlist does not handle affiliate links from variation products properly

  • password: krishnagovinda

    hello,
    im having a problem with the wishlist and external/affiliate links. for products who dont have variantions the link “buy product” works correctly and opens the website of the shop where to buy the product. but when the item on the wishlist is a variable product and i have added a particular variation to the wishlist, then the link “buy product” adds it to the cart instead of opening the external link – this should not happen for an affiliate website! i have set the links correctly, when i am on the product page and click on the variations, there the external links work correctly. any suggestions how this can be fixed?
    thank you
    maria

    Hi Maria

    As far as I know WooCommerce doesn’t handle “Variable External” products on its own
    It supports External/Affiliate products, but those won’t have any variation (and wishlist seem to work correctly for them, as you mentioned)

    Are you using a third party plugin to get this feature?
    Can you please explain how you configured the product, otherwise?

    hi antonio,
    thank you for your reply.
    yes, im using a third party plugin to have external product variations, its called: WC External Variations.

    cant upload here screenshots of my configuration in the backend unfortunately…basically i choose on the product detail page not affiliate product but a variable product and can then click “affiliate product”. then i define the external links to the shop, the price and other variations as size, color…

    Hi there

    I’ll do some testing to see if we can better handle this configuration
    Anyway, please consider that our plugin just uses default WooCommerce functions to print ATC button, without assuming in any way the “kind” of button that it should print (wheter a “Read more” button, or a “Select options” button, ar an “Add to cart”)

    So I suppose (but this is ust an initial thought) that this is soemthing missing form this third party plugin

    I’ll let you know if I have news
