Add to Cart from external button

Hello,
I need to be able to Add to Cart from a button on my own event landing page. The site uses Elementor and creates very nice buttons. I need for this button to Add to Cart for the specific ticket it references. I sell general tickets, VIP tickets and Masterminds to the same event. I do NOT want them all showing up in the same ticket selector. VIP has it’s own landing page and is its own funnel. But I only see that ALL tickets must be displayed in the ticket selector, with no way to only select one for a given page. So either that, or the ability to Add to Cart from a button that I can attach to the Elementor button. Any thoughts on how I can do this?

Here is an example of what I am referring to. As you can see on this page, I have a landing page with three different options. Each is a different tier of ticket for the same event. When you click on one button, I would like for this to add that ticket to the cart so the customer can begin checking out. Seems like very basic functionality, but the only thing I can find is to take the customer to the event page where they then have to re-select the ticket option.

Hi there,

We don’t currently have an option to add a button for a specific ticket in the way you are requesting.

As it stands registrations need to start from the ticket selector and you can use the [ESPRESSO_TICKET_SELECTOR event_id=XXX] shortcode to output the full ticket selector for an event. The only way to have a button that will add a specific ticket to the cart right now (without custom PHP development) is to use CSS/jQuery to hide the ticket options and set the Qty to 1 on the specific ticket you need, then leave only the button on show for the user to click.

In effect using the ticket selector but hiding most of it.

ah, bummer. That is not ideal for conversions to require that extra step to be there.

Thanks for letting me know.
