Adding Components to cart from anywhere on the Internet

[Jonathan Hunter]

Is it possible to add components to the cart from anywhere on the Internet?

Or create a component choice on an external website?

Any advice is very much appreciated!!

Thanks but I can only find how to add to cart from an external website. The product I am adding to cart has components and I am unable to add the components to the cart from an external website.

There is details on how to do that somewhere, 100% sure, I recall a post from Norman explaining how to do it from some time ago. If you can't find that, can you create products per choice or is that not a realistic option?

Following on from the information in the AUG. To add an attribute choice then typically add the the following to end of the URL...

http://your.URL/cgi-bin/ca000001.pl?SID=3&PAGE=PRODUCT&Q_7=5&v_7_1=3&v_7_2=4

Where for example:
&v_7_1=3
is the 1st attribute for product reference 7 with the 3rd choice selected and
&v_7_2=4
is the 2nd attribute for product reference 7 with the 4th choice selected

Referenced from Norman's post here:

I cannot seem to get this working.

My product is set up with 2 components; for example

Product
- Component 1

- Component 2
-Attribute
-Choice 1
-Choice 2

Here is the link that I am using:

Is there anything obvious that i am doing wrong?

Are these permutations?

[Jonathan Hunter]

Yes, they are....

Basically I have set up an option for a boxed software product or download product. The download product is slightly cheaper and includes a download link(obviously).

The premutations are linked to separate boxed & download products to determine delivery methods.
