Opis
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.

ČPP
-
By default, the CartLink Generator menu is added as a top-level menu. To move it under the WooCommerce submenu, add the following code to your theme’s
functions.phpfile:define( 'GUAVEN_CARTLINK_GENERATOR_SHOW_IN_SUBMENU', true ); -
Can I redirect customers to the cart page instead of the checkout page?
-
Yes! To redirect customers to the Cart page after using a generated link, add this code to your theme’s
functions.phpfile:define( 'CARTGENERATOR_REDIRECT_TO_CART_INSTEAD_OF_CHECKOUT', true ); -
How does the plugin store generated cart data?
-
By default, the plugin stores cart data in date-based folders using a file-based pseudo-transient system. If you prefer to use WordPress native transients, define the following constant in your theme’s
functions.phpfile:define( 'GUAVEN_CARTLINK_GENERATOR_USE_REAL_TRANSIENTS', true ); -
Can I allow or restrict coupon usage for carts generated by this plugin?
-
By default, coupons are restricted for carts generated by the plugin. To enable coupon usage for these carts, define the following constant in your theme’s
functions.phpfile:define( 'GUAVEN_CARTLINK_GENERATOR_ALLOW_COUPONS', true ); -
How does the plugin clean up old data?
-
The plugin automatically deletes expired carts’ data created by the plugin itself. This keeps storage lean and uncluttered.
-
Can I stop customers from changing quantities in a generated cart?
-
Yes! To lock quantities for generated carts, add this code to your theme’s
functions.phpfile:define( 'CARTGENERATOR_FORBID_QUANTITY_UPDATE', true ); -
Will old links keep working after I update the plugin?
-
Yes. Links are looked up by their stored identifier, so any link you have already shared continues to work after updating.
-
Does it work with product variations?
-
Yes — variable products and their variations can be added to a generated cart.

Dnevnik promjena
1.1.0
- New: One-click sharing to WhatsApp, Telegram and email, plus native mobile share sheet.
- New: QR code generated for every cart link (bundled locally, no external requests).
- New: “Recent links” management table to review, copy and revoke generated links.
- New: Live estimated-total preview while building the cart.
- New: Per-link expiry presets (1 day / 7 days / 30 days / 1 year).
- Fix: Fixed-subtotal discount could leak into a customer’s own cart via a lingering session value — it is now scoped to generated carts and cleared when the cart empties.
- Fix: Possible fatal error in product search when a result referenced a missing product.
- Security: Cart link identifiers are now unguessable (random) so links carrying custom prices cannot be enumerated. Existing links keep working.

manage_woocommercecapability. - Improvement: Variable products/variations are added to the cart correctly.
- Improvement: Configuration constants now honour their value (e.g.
define( X, false )). - Improvement: Removed an unnecessary full-catalog query on the admin page for faster loads on large stores.
