## Description

Create pre-filled **cart and checkout links** for your customers with one click!

CartLink Generator for WooCommerce empowers store owners and merchants to create
dynamic cart links with pre-filled products, quantities, and custom prices. This
is particularly helpful for shops and businesses that interact with customers via
chat, enabling them to quickly generate cart links for faster conversions.
 The 
plugin reduces the steps to purchase by 3-4 steps compared to traditional e-commerce
workflows.

### Key Features:

 * Create and share dynamic cart/checkout links.
 * Customize redirection to either the **Cart** page or **Checkout** page.
 * Add the menu as a top-level item or under the WooCommerce submenu.
 * Use efficient autocomplete search for adding products to cart links.
 * Flexible storage: Use file-based pseudo-transients or native WordPress transients.

### Usage

 1. Access **CartLink Generator** from the WordPress admin dashboard.
 2. Use the autocomplete search field to find products and add them to the cart configuration.
 3. Adjust quantities, prices, or apply fixed discounts as needed.
 4. Generate a shareable cart link for your customers.

### Minimum Requirements

 * WordPress 5.5 or higher.
 * PHP 7.0 or higher.
 * WooCommerce 8.0 or higher.

## Installation

 1. Download and extract the `cartlink-generator` plugin folder.

 3. Activate the plugin via the WordPress admin dashboard under **Plugins**.
 4. Ensure WooCommerce version **8.0 or higher** is active.

## FAQ

### How can I move the CartLink Generator menu to the WooCommerce submenu?

By default, the CartLink Generator menu is added as a top-level menu. To move it
under the **WooCommerce** submenu, add the following code to your theme’s `functions.
php` file:

    ```
    define( 'GUAVEN_CARTLINK_GENERATOR_SHOW_IN_SUBMENU', true );
    ```

### Can I redirect customers to the cart page instead of the checkout page?

Yes! To redirect customers to the **Cart** page after using a generated link, add
this code to your theme’s `functions.php` file:

    ```
    define( 'CARTGENERATOR_REDIRECT_TO_CART_INSTEAD_OF_CHECKOUT', true );
    ```

This modifies the redirection logic, allowing you to choose between the cart or 
checkout page.

### How does the plugin store generated cart data?

By default, the plugin stores cart data in date-based folders using a file-based
pseudo-transient system. If you prefer to use WordPress native transients, define
the following constant in your theme’s `functions.php` file:

    ```
    define( 'GUAVEN_CARTLINK_GENERATOR_USE_REAL_TRANSIENTS', true );
    ```

### Can I allow or restrict coupon usage for carts generated by this plugin?

By default, coupons are restricted for carts generated by the plugin. To enable 
coupon usage for these carts, define the following constant in your theme’s `functions.
php` file:

    ```
    define('GUAVEN_CARTLINK_GENERATOR_ALLOW_COUPONS', true);
    ```

### How does the plugin clean up old data?

The plugin automatically deletes expired carts’ data created by the plugin itself.
This ensures that storage remains efficient and uncluttered.

### Can I forbid customers to update quantities in carts generated by the plugin?

Yes! To set this limit just add this code to your theme’s `functions.php` file:

    ```
    define( 'CARTGENERATOR_FORBID_QUANTITY_UPDATE', true );
    ```

This modifies the redirection logic, allowing you to choose between the cart or 
checkout page.
