To customize the redirection of product photo links in the minicart to point to your dynamic product pages in WIX Editor Velo, you can use the wixLocation API to programmatically navigate the user to the desired page. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how you might achieve this:

  1. Access the Minicart’s Code Panel Open the WIX Editor and navigate to the page with the minicart. Access the code panel where you can add custom JavaScript.

  2. Use the wixLocation API Import the wixLocation module at the beginning of your code. This module allows you to control the URL the user is navigated to.

import wixLocation from 'wix-location';

  1. Identify the Product Photo Element Find the ID or class of the product photo element within the minicart. You’ll need this to attach an event listener that triggers the redirection.

  2. Attach an Event Listener Add an event listener to the product photo element that captures the click event and redirects the user to the dynamic product page.

$w('#productPhoto').onClick(() => {
    // Retrieve the product ID or any identifier from the clicked element
    let productId = ...; // You'll need to replace this with actual code to get the product ID

    // Redirect to the dynamic product page
    wixLocation.to(`/dynamic-product-page/${productId}`);
});

  1. Handle Dynamic Product IDs: Ensure that your code retrieves the correct product ID or any unique identifier associated with the clicked product photo. This ID should correspond to the dynamic URL of the product page you want to redirect to.

  2. Test the Redirection After implementing the code, test the redirection by clicking on a product photo in the minicart to see if it navigates to the correct dynamic product page.

Please note that the exact implementation details may vary based on your site’s structure and the specific setup of your minicart. If you’re not familiar with coding or the WIX Editor Velo environment, it may be helpful to consult with a developer or reach out to the WIX support community for more tailored assistance.
