FAQ
Go to WooCommerce > Settings and enable the “Enable importing mode” option. Then, when importing the products, you’ll need to import these custom fields:
- “_amb_vap_prod” – import “yes” or “no.
- “_amb_vap_prod_url” – import the parent product affiliate URL.
- “_amb_vap_prod_cart_text” – import the text for the buy button.
- “_amb_wpvap_variation_url” – import the variation affiliate URL.
No, the parent product URL is required if “Affiliate Product” is enabled. This URL is used as a fallback URL in the case that a variation that’s added to the cart does not have an individual affiliate URL.
No, if “Affiliate Product” is enabled, the item will automatically be removed from the cart, the cart notice message will be dismissed, and the user will be redirected to the affiliate URL.
