Is there any way to link directly to a product without customers going to that dang page that says View Product Details followed by a gabillion other products from other stores?
If I paste and go with the link, it takes me to my product. Once I paste it onto my blog, it takes me to the View Product Details page. I want viewers to immediately see that Add To Cart button.
Thanks!

unfortunately, I can't see a workaround for this new "intermediate" page. looks like a (relatively) new addition.

Ugh! Thank you! That’s what I was afraid of! I may need to rethink monetization for this new site then.
Dear Zazzle,
If Amazon doesn’t throw a View Product Details page between a customer and the cart, then there’s your sign! 🤦🏻♀️

I’m warming them up with my niche blog… if they click a product, that means they like it. Why confuse them with a ton of other offers AND a barrier to the cart? Get them in… shove that Add To Cart button at them… make it EASY for the customer…
As a customer myself, that page is maddening and will tick me off if I have to click around to find out how to buy it.
As a shopkeeper, that page makes me want to bang my head on a wall.
Ok… deep breath…

The first time I spotted when clicking one of my products on Pinterest, I thought something had broken. Now I'm wondering what purpose such an intermediate page serves.

There is no purpose that I can think of. 🤷🏻♀️
I have no idea what on earth whomever is in charge of this decision is thinking. You NEVER make it more complicated for a customer to buy the product they clicked. You NEVER put a barrier between a customer and that Add To Cart button. I can’t think of one big business that does this. 🤦🏻♀️
My only consolation is that I’m hoping this will be short-lived because their conversion rate goes down.
I have an entire site I designed strictly for parties and events articles that I was hoping to monetize with product showcases instead of ads. I would really rather have fun designing products rather than messing with an affiliate program, but I can’t afford to promote products that customers have to jump through hoops to find… 🫤
