Redirect to OTO after first add to cart

[joshthomas]

Hello,

I would like to set up a redirect to a "One Time Offer" after my visitor selects the add to cart button.



To clarify, once they click the first button, INSTEAD of seeing the shopping cart, they are automatically redirected to the OTO page where they can add the second item to their cart and then check out, or skip it and check out with the original item.



I've looked through my account pages and this forum, but have not found the answer. Any thoughts on this?



The duct tape solution would be for the first add to cart button to simply be a link directly to the OTO page and have two carts set up on the OTO page, but I was wondering if there was a proper way.



Thanks!

Actually, your "duct tape solution" is what we'd propose, then you'd have two Add to Cart buttons on that OTO page: one button for just the main item, and another button that adds both items to the cart using the multiAdd function described here:

As another approach, you could see what one of our clients has devised; go here and add any item to a cart:

You'll notice they figured out how to put a link to add an "upgrade" item right inside the cart, and if the main item is removed, it also removes the upgrade item. You'd have to examine their code or contact them for advice to figure out how they did it, but we think they came up with a pretty slick custom solution there. :^)
