WooCoomerce: Buy Now + Affiliate Link + Cart – FIXED

I was really quite pleased when I discovered a fix for this.

The issue was when you clicked on the BUY NOW button, instead of it taking the user to the affiliate website product page, it first took the user to the CART, then took the user to the affiliate website page.

In fact, the redirect acted differently on a PC and a Mobile.  On a PC browser the redirect took seconds, on a mobile it took longer.  If the user tried to return to my website (BACK), it then stuck on the CART page.

BEFORE

AFTER

So.. the 2 step fix

Overview: remove the WooCommerce Buy Now button and add a new BUY NOW button below the product description.

  1. Remove the BUY NOW button
  2. Add a new BUY NOW button

1. Remove the BUY NOW button

Add this code to functions.php

file = /public_html/wp-content/themes/<your theme>*/functions.php

* WP Admin – Appearance / Active theme

remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item', 'woocommerce_template_loop_add_to_cart' ); remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_add_to_cart', 30 );

2. Add a new BUY NOW button

Add this code where you want the BUY NOW button to appear on the page..

<a class="btn btn-primary" href="{url[1]}" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">BUY NOW</a>

NOTES

I use AllImport, so its a relatively easy to add the button html to the Template so the button appears with every imported product

{name[1]}
Brand: {brand[1]}
Store: {merchantcampaignname[1]}
Price: {price[1]}
Sale Price: {pricesale[1]}

<a class="btn btn-primary" href="{url[1]}" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">BUY NOW</a>

I also use bootScore which has fabulous CSS buttons – well worth checking out.

I hope it helps everyone!
