Overview

About this plugin

A WooCommerce plugin that allows you to redirect the “Add to Cart” button directly to the checkout page, cart page, or a custom URL. Features both global settings and per-product customization with advanced targeting options and modern UI.

Features

  • Global Settings: Configure redirect behavior for all products
  • Per-Product Settings: Override global settings for individual products
  • Advanced Targeting: Target products by taxonomy and shop archives
  • AJAX Support: Works on both single product pages and shop/archive pages
  • Multiple Redirect Options:
  • Checkout page
  • Cart page
  • Custom URL
  • Smart Fallback: Product settings override global settings
  • Modern Interface: Enhanced UI with Select2 dropdowns and WordPress styling
  • Responsive Design: Clean, professional admin interface

Installation

  • Upload the plugin files to /wp-content/plugins/buy-now-button-redirect-for-woocommerce/
  • Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  • Configure settings under ‘WooCommerce > Buy Now Link’

Usage

Global Settings

  • Go to WooCommerce > Buy Now Link
  • Enable global redirect if desired
  • Choose redirect destination:
  • Checkout Page: Redirects to WooCommerce checkout
  • Cart Page: Redirects to WooCommerce cart
  • Custom URL: Redirects to a custom URL of your choice
  • If using Custom URL, enter the full URL (e.g., https://example.com/thank-you )
  • Save settings

Targeting Options

The plugin includes advanced targeting options to apply redirects only to specific products or pages:

Taxonomy Targeting

  • Target products by category, tag, or any custom taxonomy
  • Select2 Dropdowns: Modern, searchable multi-select dropdowns for easy term selection
  • Select specific terms within each taxonomy
  • Only products with selected terms will have redirects applied
  • Visual Tags: Selected terms display as styled tags with WordPress blue theme

Shop Archive Targeting

  • Main Shop Page: Apply redirects on the main shop page
  • Product Category Pages: Apply redirects on category archive pages
  • Product Tag Pages: Apply redirects on tag archive pages
  • All Product Archive Pages: Apply redirects on all product archive pages

Single Product Settings

Individual product “Add to Cart” buttons can be configured to redirect directly to checkout, cart, or a custom URL. This is perfect for products that should bypass the cart entirely or redirect to specific landing pages.

Per-Product Settings

  • Edit any product in WooCommerce
  • Look for the “Buy Now Link Settings” metabox in the main content area
  • Enable redirect for this specific product
  • Choose redirect destination (same options as global settings)
  • If using Custom URL, leave empty to use global custom URL
  • Update the product

Priority System

The plugin uses a priority system for settings:

  • Product-specific settings (highest priority)
  • Global settings with targeting conditions (if product settings are disabled)
  • No redirect (if both are disabled or targeting conditions not met)

Targeting Logic

When targeting options are configured:

– Taxonomy targeting: Only products with selected taxonomy terms will have redirects

– Archive targeting: Redirects only apply on selected shop archive pages

– Combined targeting: All conditions must be met for redirects to apply
