Product & Category Links
Link customers to a product category, a specific product, or a specific design style on your Photo Finale site.
Category and product links are the workhorses of your marketing: a Facebook post about canvas prints should land on canvas prints, not your home page. This page covers linking at three levels of precision — a whole category, a single product, and a single design style within a product.
Replace demo.photofinale.com with your own PF site domain in any of these links. The easiest way to get your category links is the myLab Web Links tool: https://mylab.photofinale.com/StoreManagement/WebLinks
Link to a category
Use the category name from your catalog in the URL:
https://demo.photofinale.com/shop/cardsFor print product categories, use the /prints/ path instead:
https://demo.photofinale.com/prints/large-formatIf a category name contains characters that aren't valid in a URL, link to a specific product inside it instead using the direct product link below.
Link to a specific product
Every product has a database ID (pid). A direct product link works regardless of where the product sits in your category tree:
https://demo.photofinale.com/shop?pid=408584You can find product IDs in myLab's product management pages, or on the Web Links page.
Link to a specific style
You can go one step further and link to a specific design style of a product, skipping the style selection page entirely. The link needs both the product ID and the style ID:
https://demo.photofinale.com/shop?pid=761977&styleID=6120348Visit /debugsettings on your site (for example, https://demo.photofinale.com/debugsettings) and enable Debug Mode.
Browse to the product and open its style selection page. With Debug Mode on, each style displays its Style ID.
Combine the product's pid and the styleID into the URL format shown above, then turn Debug Mode back off.
Show a specific occasion's designs on a product
For products with designs across many occasions (like photo cards), add an occasionID parameter to a direct product link to control which occasion's designs the customer sees first. For example, an 8x4 photo card opened to Mother's Day designs:
https://demo.photofinale.com/shop/cards/photo-cards/8x4-photo-card?pid=913734&occasionID=39The full list of occasion IDs is on the Occasion Links page.
