Configure checkout using URL parameters

Checkout process URLs include variables known as parameters, which allow you to manage the transaction process. These parameters are added to a Cleverbridge URL to control the platform's behavior and are placed after the required components.

Each parameter is prefixed with an ampersand (&).

Example

You can pre-select the language of the page by appending the following: &language=it. In this case, the page displays in Italian.

Multiple parameters are shown in the example below:

tip

You can trigger a B2B checkout funnel by appending the following to your checkout URL: &b2b=true. In this case, the checkout page displays the B2B-specific parameters a B2B customer needs to complete the order effortlessly. The B2B checkout parameters include:

• Net pricing display
• Tax breakdown
• Price quote request
• Company address field
• Billing & licensee address (optional)
• Review process for the order
• Automated tax or VatId validation & exemption

note

Payment methods need to be configured separately for the B2B checkout funnel.

Parameters are commonly used for various purposes, such as:

• Saving shopping cart items by setting a cookie on the customer's browser
• Creating a Continue Shopping link
• Specifying the currency for an order
• Applying discounts with a coupon code
• Adding product recommendations
• Implementing a campaign tracking pixel to monitor orders

For a list of URL parameters, see Checkout Process Parameters.

warning

Cleverbridge's URLs must not exceed 2,000 characters. Certain browsers may not be able to process URLs that exceed this length.
