Add A BigCommerce Buy Now Button To A Campaign

Use the “Buy Now” button to allow your users to purchase a product from your BigCommerce storefront from within your Max Classic campaigns. To add the button, you’ll need to add a Button content block to your campaign, and link it to a Buy Button product URL.

Before you Start:

• In addition to Max Classic, you’ll also need to have an active BigCommerce account
• Connect Max Classic for BigCommerce (from within the BigCommerce App Marketplace) to automatically sync purchase data to your contacts’ profiles when they buy a product from your store. This is a free tool.
• Before adding the Buy Button to your Max Classic campaign, make sure you first add the Buy Button app from BigCommerce.
