Direct Checkout Link

If you want your buyers to go directly to the checkout page and skip the intermediary Payhip product page, you can construct URLs to do this for you.

Creating a direct checkout link

Take the example of the following product page:

https://payhip.com/b/ean3D

The unique key for the product is "ean3D"

To create a direct checkout link, simply use your product key as follows:

https://payhip.com/buy?link=ean3D

Visit your edit product page and view the address bar. This will show you the product key, as seen in the screenshot below.

If you have a custom domain attached to your Payhip store, you'll need to use the original product key when creating a direct checkout link.

Here is an example of a customized product URL:

https://sampledomain.com/b/my-custom-name

To create a direct checkout link, the product key should be used

https://sampledomain.com/buy?link=ean3D

If you would like to create a checkout link where multiple items are included, then this is possible too.

Let's take the example where you have the following products

https://payhip.com.com/b/ean3D

https://payhip.com/b/BaFxk

Then the combined checkout page link would be:

https://payhip.com/buy?cart_links[]=ean3D&cart_links[]=BaFxk

This URL will take buyers directly to the checkout link where they can purchase multiple items at once.

In some cases you may want to set some metadata on the checkout page link, which is then passed through to your webhooks payload.

This is useful for example if you want to associate your own ID with this specific customer, which you can read off webhooks.

To set checkout URL metadata you can using the following approach:

https://payhip.com/buy?link=ean3D&metadata[mykey1]=myvalue1&metadata[mykey2]=myvalue2

You can add 20 metadata key-value pairs
Metadata keys have a 40 character limit and the following characters can't be included [ ] < >
Metadata values have a 500 character limit and the following characters can't be included < >
