Hello. I have an Editor X e-commerce site I’m building and the client does affiliate sales so some items in the store need to link out to other sites and people will do the purchase there. What I need is a way to assign an external link to a buy button. WooCommerce has this feature built right in and it’s simple. I cannot find a way and really need this to work. Not sure if Corvid would need to be used or if there’s another way but would love some help! Thanks so much.
Hi Shane,
This isn’t possible natively through the Wix Stores application however it can be done using a dynamic build out of a store.
I have provided a few articles with regard to dynamic pages that can help guide you to build out your store using custom databases.

You can integrate WooCommerce API with Wix Fetch and Wix HTP Functions however this will not interact with the Wix Stores API.

There appears to be a few automations soon to be released from Automate.io which you can follow along with the link below
@randya Thanks Randy. Yeah, I don’t need to use WooCommerce, they just have that feature. Without WooCommerce though, as you stated above, is this possible though using Dynamic pages? And does this integrate with the store?
@shane25224 Using dynamic pages will allow you to create a store using buttons that you set which would be the WooCommerce buttons that will link accordingly to their product. It will not be integrated with Wix Stores it is not possible.
