Woocommerce shortcode add to cart

Basic Usage

The basic syntax for the shortcode is:

[add_to_cart id="PRODUCT_ID"]

Replace `PRODUCT_ID` with the actual ID of the product you want to link to. For example, to create an "Add to Cart" button for a product with the ID of 99, you would write:

[add_to_cart id="99"]

Customizing the Shortcode

You can customize the appearance and functionality of the button by adding various attributes. Here are some common attributes you can use:

- style: To customize the button's appearance (e.g., borders, padding).
- show_price: Set to "TRUE" to display the product price alongside the button.
- quantity: To specify the default quantity to add to the cart.

An example of a more customized shortcode would be:

[add_to_cart id="99" style="border:4px solid #ccc; padding:12px;" show_price="TRUE" quantity="1"]

Inserting the Shortcode

You can insert the shortcode in various places on your site:

1. Classic Editor: Simply paste the shortcode directly into the text editor.

2. Block Editor (Gutenberg): Use a Shortcode block and paste your shortcode into the text field.

3. Widget Areas: Go to Appearance > Widgets, add a Text widget to your desired area, and paste the shortcode there[1][2][4].

Conclusion

Using the `[add_to_cart]` shortcode in WooCommerce is a straightforward way to enhance your site's functionality by allowing customers to add products to their cart directly from any page. This can improve user experience and potentially increase sales by making it easier for customers to purchase items directly from promotional content or other pages[2][3].
