Turn a chat message into a one-click checkout. CartLink Generator for WooCommerce lets you build a cart for a customer — products, quantities, even custom prices — and share it as a single link. When they open it, the cart is pre-filled and they go straight to checkout. No searching, no adding to cart, no friction.
It’s built for the way people actually sell today: over WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, Telegram, Messenger, email and live chat. Instead of telling a customer “search for product X, add 2, then find product Y,” you send them one link that does it all — cutting 3–4 steps out of the buying journey and driving faster conversions.
Generate the link in the admin, then share it instantly with the built-in WhatsApp, Telegram and email buttons, or let your customer scan the auto-generated QR code in person or from a printed flyer.
Why store owners use it
- Chat commerce & social selling — send a ready-to-buy cart link in any conversation.
- Direct “Buy Now” links — skip the cart page entirely and land the customer on checkout.
- Custom quotes & negotiated prices — set a per-product price or a fixed subtotal discount for a specific customer.
- Sales reps & wholesale — prepare an order for a client and let them confirm with one tap.
- Campaigns & flyers — drop a QR code on print or social and send scanners straight to a pre-filled cart.
