Creating Checkout link manually

If you don’t want to use the Buy Now Button channel then you can create it manually by using the following steps:

• First of all, you need to find out the product’s variant ID for which you are going to create the checkout link. See how to find a product’s variant ID.
• Your checkout link must start with your store’s domain and end with /cart/ For example https://my-store-name.myshopify.com/cart/
• Now as you have got your product’s variant ID it’s time to create the checkout link. A one variant checkout may look similar to this: https://my-store-name.myshopify.com/cart/40744913797318:1
