    Is there a way to add a product that will link to another website without adding it to the cart?

    What do you mean by "a product that will link to another website?"

    I have affiliate agreements with a couple of different e-commerce websites and would like to list products from those sites. What I would like to do is enter all of the product information so that the products are indexed on my site. Subsequently, I would like to display the product to customers and then provide a link that they would click on to view/purchase the product from the respective e-commerce website.

    Ah... Now I know what you mean. :)

    I have a future project where I may doing that very same thing. What I plan on doing for those products is setting them up using Product Types and Product Type Properties.

    https://hotcakescommerce....duct-Type-Properties

    A product type property you'd add would be Text. For products that link out to other websites, you'd look for this property and then replace the Add to Cart button with a Buy on Other Website button using that value. This also allows for stores where you have a mix of local and off-site products. Alternatively, you can check for that value and show no button (and/or e-mail yourself in case you missed a product type value).

    Thank you very much. I had a feeling that product types would be my starting point. I assume that you use js or jquery to replace the Add to cart button?
