Definition:


A Quickshop URL is a link that directly leads the customer to the checkout of the given product. Most commonly used in Newsletters for specific offers.

Additionally a Quickshop URL can be used to add additional information like a Coupon Code automatically to our Shop when the link is clicked. Please see below for further information



Creation:


Basically, the creation of a quickshop URL is pretty simple and will take you less than 5 minutes.

Though please be aware of which product you really want to sell. For Example, do you want to sell the offer or the box?


  • In Magento Go to Catalog > Manage Products: find the product you are looking for in the table and click on it.


  • Inside of the product view, navigate to Offer Options, there you will find a field 'Promotion URL' with an explanation how the link is built.
  • Find a unique value for the Promotion URL, since of course links have to be unique and then enter it into the field like in the picture below

  • Note: Please DO NOT add additional parameters inside of the configuration, this is ONLY added later to the URL that is given to the customer.


That´s it! 



Especially for Newsletters follow these rules:


  1. Please always start URLs that link to the GLOSSYBOX website with "HTTPS" = https://www.glossybox.com/....Don't forget the "S" after the http. The 'S' at the end of HTTPS stands for 'Secure'. It means all communications between the browser and the website are encrypted and therefore more secure.  
  2. When linking into the checkout of a specific subscription type, for example the monthly box, use the quickshop link.You can check how the quickshop link is build or create a new one in Magento:                                               Go to: Catalog > Manage Products > in the SKU field type in e.g. "Beauty_EL_M_RC" > Offer options > Promotion URL.                                                                                                                                                         The quickshop link is build like this: {Shop URL}/quickshop/{Promotion URL}. E.g. In case of US the promotion URL is "recurring", so the link looks like this: https://www.glossybox.com/quickshop/recurring
  3. Any FIRST parameter you add to any URL needs to be connected with a question mark "?". If you want to add following parameters within a URL, they need to be connected with "&".





We use tracking parameters in our Newsletter to make every URL unique, this helps to analyse on which part of the Newsletter a recipients clicks. If all links would look the same, we would only have one number of clicks but can't allocate it to a specific click area. Read more here.


DON'T DO:

DO:

  • Please ALWAYS test your URLs by pasting them in the URL field in your browser and/or click every URL in your test mail.
    Be aware that the coupon code will only work once it is live and valid at the time you test it.
