Common questions

What is a Shopify cart permalink?

A cart permalink (also called a checkout link) is a URL that sends a customer directly to the Shopify checkout with one or more products pre-loaded. The format is: yourdomain.com/cart/VARIANT_ID:QUANTITY. Each click creates a fresh checkout session.

Do Shopify checkout links expire?

No. Checkout links built with the /cart/ permalink format do not expire. Each customer who clicks the link gets their own new checkout session. Only session-based checkout URLs (generated via the Storefront API) expire.

Can I add a discount code to a Shopify checkout URL?

Yes. Append ?discount=YOURCODE to the URL. Example: mystore.com/cart/12345:1?discount=SAVE10. The discount is automatically applied when the customer lands on checkout.

What's the difference between a cart link and a checkout link in Shopify?

A cart link (storefront=true) takes customers to the cart page where they can review and modify before paying. A checkout link skips the cart entirely and goes straight to payment. Use checkout links for email campaigns and ads where speed matters.

Do I need a Shopify app to create checkout links?

No. Shopify checkout links use a standard URL format that any merchant can build manually. This tool automates the process — it fetches your product's variant IDs and constructs the correct URL for you.

Why do I need a variant ID instead of a product ID?

Shopify's checkout URL format requires a variant ID, not a product ID. Every product has at least one variant (even single-option products). This tool fetches the correct variant IDs automatically from your product URL.
