Lookup a Purchase Link

What are Purchase Links?

Purchase Links are what customers will click on to purchase products, bundles or membership levels. Keep in mind that a product can represent a physical product, a bundle, or membership level since products can be associated with bundles or membership levels.

Two Types of Purchase Links

There are two types of purchase links: those created using the MM_Purchase_Link SmartTag and those that are a static URL.

• The MM_Purchase_Link SmartTag dynamically generates purchase links within your membership site. It is recommended that this SmartTag is used wherever possible as it includes some built-in intelligence such as automatically directing the customer to the default checkout page and automatically billing a customer's card-on-file if it exists.
  
  
• The static URL should be used when you want to place a purchase link outside of your membership site. For example, if you want to include a purchase link in a Twitter post, Facebook post, PPC or banners ads, emails or on 3rd party sites.
  
  The static link should also be used to send a customer to a page that has a checkout form but is not the default checkout core page. This is because the MM_Purchase_Link SmartTag will always send a customer to the default checkout core page.
