Link to Specific Products & Occasions

(Added June 2020) You can now create product links that go to a specific category of content. We have added support for an optional “occasionID” parameter in a direct product link, allowing an operator to specify the default category (occasion) of content styles that will be shown. The list of available Occasion IDs can be found here: Link into your PF site at various points.

For example: 8×4 Photo Card Mother’s Day

Link Directly to a Style

It is now possible to link directly to a specific style of a particular product, bypassing the Style Selection page for the customer.  The URL format includes both the product’s Database ID as well as the specific Style ID.  To build a URL you can find the desired Style ID by enabling Debug Mode on the site (via the /debugsettings page) and then visit the Style Selection page and the Style IDs will be shown.

Example: https://silverline.photofinale.com/shop?pid=761977&styleID=6120348
