ABOUT

The "Add to Cart Redirect to Affiliate Link" extension allows you to change the "Add To Cart" button into a "Buy Now" button that bypasses the Cart and redirects to an affiliate (external) link. You can give the Buy Now button any name that you like, for example "Visit Website", "Click Here", etc. You can even have have different names for different affiliate products, i.e. you can have one button saying "Buy Now" for one product and "Visit Website" for another product. Better yet, you can have both regular and affiliate products on the same site. Please read/watch the installation instructions so as to ensure that you set up the extension correctly. VQMOD is required for OpenCart version 4. Please note that it has only been tried with the Default theme and may not work with other themes. NOTE: The extension DOES NOT support the Journal themes.
