<p>Since mid-2025 Meta no longer supports native on-platform checkout for Facebook and Instagram shops. Merchants must instead configure a <strong>Checkout URL</strong> on their own website — Meta documents this approach in the <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/commerce-platform/setup-checkout-url" rel="nofollow ugc">Commerce Platform Checkout URL setup guide</a>. That URL should pre-fill the store cart and send customers straight to checkout.</p>
<p><strong>CartBridge Checkout Links for WooCommerce</strong> handles this seamlessly. You configure your store URL as the checkout URL in Meta Commerce Manager and the plugin takes care of the rest: it reads the product list from the URL, fills the WooCommerce cart, and redirects the customer to the checkout page.</p>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<p>Meta appends a <code>products</code> query parameter to your checkout URL every time a customer taps “Buy” on your Facebook or Instagram shop listing:</p>
<pre><code>https://yourstore.com/checkout?products=wc_post_id_123:2,wc_post_id_456:1
</code></pre>
<p>The plugin intercepts this request, adds the right products (and quantities) to the cart, and bounces the customer to <code>/checkout</code> in one smooth redirect.</p>
<h4>Supported product ID formats</h4>
<ul>
<li><code>wc_post_id_123:2</code> — simple product with WooCommerce post ID 123, quantity 2</li>
<li><code>wc_post_id_123_variation_456:2</code> — variable product 123, variation 456, quantity 2</li>
<li><code>123:2</code> — plain WooCommerce post ID (fallback format)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Optional parameters</h4>
<ul>
<li><code>coupon=CODE</code> — applies a coupon code automatically</li>
<li><code>utm_source</code>, <code>utm_medium</code>, <code>utm_campaign</code>, <code>utm_content</code>, <code>utm_term</code> — forwarded to the checkout URL for analytics</li>
<li><code>fbclid</code>, <code>cart_origin</code> — forwarded for Meta attribution</li>
</ul>
<h4>Setup</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin.</li>
<li>Follow <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/commerce-platform/setup-checkout-url" rel="nofollow ugc">Meta’s official Checkout URL setup guide</a>.</li>
<li>In <strong>Meta Commerce Manager <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Checkout</strong>, choose <em>Checkout on another website</em>.</li>
<li>Set the Checkout URL to your store’s checkout page, e.g. <code>https://yourstore.com/checkout</code>.</li>
<li>Meta will automatically append the <code>?products=…</code> parameter when a customer buys.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Security</h4>
<ul>
<li>All query-string values are sanitised before use.</li>
<li>Product IDs are validated against the WooCommerce catalogue; non-existent or non-purchasable products are silently skipped.</li>
<li>Quantities are capped at 99 per item; item count is capped at 50 per request.</li>
<li>The final redirect uses <code>wp_safe_redirect()</code>.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 6.0 or later</li>
<li>WooCommerce 7.0 or later</li>
<li>PHP 7.4 or later</li>
</ul>
