Link To Specific Product With Stand Alone Shopping Cart

Hey guys, I'm putting the final touches on a new site and have added the Stand Alone Shopping Cart widget within a Shop page, but am wondering if there is any way to link directly to individual products within the widget...

For example, if I have a page on my site that references a certain image and a button that should take you to my shop to buy that image, is there a way to pass the iFrame the image ID through the URL and get it to pull? Or am I stuck sending users to my AW rather than keeping them on my page if I want to take them directly to an individual product?

Thanks!

You can embed a single image without the shopping cart if that would help.

Thanks Adam, I know I can post an individual product, what I was hoping for was a way to drop the user into the single product page within the shop itself. I've written a set of custom scripts in the site that take the user to a secondary shop page that pulls the individual product, which isn't as elegant as I'd hoped, but at least I don't have to send them off-site to make their purchase.

Still hoping someone knows a little trick to do it the "right" way though.

You might take a look at this discussion from Sean that describes the widgets and what all you can do with them:

The short answer, if I understand what you're asking, is to replace the iframe 'src' string with a link like:

https://fineartamerica.com/widgetshoppingcart/showframe.php?artworkid=16107534&showheader=0

where you replace the artworkid value with the one for the image you want to feature. Caveat: I think this should work, but I haven't yet tried it on my own web site although I eventually plan to.

Good luck.

Thank you Duane, I'd read Sean's post, which is how I'd formatted my work-around solution. I wound up using a hybrid solution and writing a PHP statement to determine if an incoming link was carrying an artworkID, worked like a charm. Thanks so much for setting me on the write track.
