BigCommerce Checkout Redirect

This article provides the steps to establish the BigCommerce Checkout Redirect to CheckoutChamp pages

Only follow this article if your checkout and upsell flow is finished inside of Checkout Champ and you are ready to start sending the BigCommerce customers to your Checkout Champ checkout page

If your BigCommerce storefront contains a subscription option then follow instructions here

A product SKU is required on each product in BigCommerce to redirect checkout. Products with variations must have a SKU on each variation. Products without variations must have a SKU on the product. SKU cannot be blank. The redirect is a sku-specific redirect.

Redirect Checkout

• To redirect the BigCommerce cart to your checkout page, it is required to manually set the routing on your BigCommerce cart page

• Login to your BigCommerce store

• Make a copy of your existing theme files as a back-up

  • Navigate to Storefront → My Themes → then click Advanced and select Make a Copy

• Copy the below code Snippet

 <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('body').delegate('a[href="/checkout"], a#checkout', 'click', function(e){
            e.preventDefault();

            if (!$(this).hasClass('processing')) {
                $(this).addClass('processing').text('Please wait...');

                $.ajax({
                    url: '/api/storefront/cart',
                    success: function(cart) {
                    	var lineItems = cart && cart[0] && cart[0].lineItems && cart[0].lineItems && cart[0].lineItems.physicalItems ? cart[0].lineItems.physicalItems : [];
                    	var urlData = [];
                    	var getUrlData = function(index) {
                    		$.ajax({
                    			url: lineItems[index].url,
                    			dataType: 'html',
                    			success: function(data) {
                    				var $data = $(data);
                    				var customFields = $data.find('.productView-info-name');
                    				var productId = lineItems[index].productId;
                    				var sku = lineItems[index].sku;

                                    customFields.each(function(){
                                        if ($(this).text().trim() === 'ProductID_' + sku + ':') {
                                            productId = $(this).next('.productView-info-value').text();
                                        }
                                    });

                                    urlData.push(productId + ':' + lineItems[index].quantity);

                                    if (index < lineItems.length - 1) {
                                        getUrlData(++index);
                                    } else {
                                        var checkoutUrl = 'you.must.define.a.checkout.url?products=' + urlData.join(';');
                                        console.log(checkoutUrl);
                                        window.location.href = checkoutUrl;
                                    }
                    			}
                    		})
                    	}

                    	if (typeof lineItems === 'object' && lineItems.length > 0) {
                    		getUrlData(0);
                    	}
                    }
                });
            }
        });
    });
</script>

• Navigate to Storefront → My Themes → Advanced → Edit Theme Files.

• Paste the code snippet at the end of /templates/layout/base.html file, before the ending </body> tag.

• Replace the text you.must.define.a.checkout.url with the URL of your CRM checkout page.

• Save and apply the theme changes

• Test the redirect

Accessing Your Checkout URL

Return to CheckoutChamp

Select the Settings option on your CheckoutChamp checkout page:

This will open the page configuration panel on the right side of the builder

Define the Published Page Name (slug) for your checkout page. Tab off the field to save.

At the bottom of the funnel, mark this checkout page as the Default Page.

Then close the panel and Publish the funnel.

Select the page Settings once more:

Copy the entire Live URL and replace you.must.define.a.checkout.url in the code snippet above

Cart webhook

Prices from BigCommerce are synced into CheckoutChamp along with products. However there may be special app pricing or limitations on currency that are encountered. In that case you may find it helpful to use the BigCommerce cart to complete checkout.

Step 1 - Edit the BigCommerce store redirect code to pass the cart id

var checkoutUrl = 'you.must.define.a.checkout.url?products=' + urlData.join(';') + '&cartId=' + cart[0].id;

Step 2 - Enable the BigCommerce cart webhook

Go to CRM > Plugins > BigCommerce. Press the Create Webhook button.
