Q8 I have a product. let’s called this product Report A and the description is a report about Southeast Asia. I want the Buy Now button to be displayed in another page. However, once I check the [show button only] box, the product page doesn’t show the description either. What I want is to keep showing the description in the products page as well as displaying the buy now button and in another location only display the buy now button.  Is this possible?

Answer 1: Yes, it is possible. For that, you need to use button_only="1" shortcode parameter. First you need to disable Show button only product option and then add the parameter to the shortcode where you want to display the button only. Click the following link support thread to learn more.

That is all you need to do to add a new product to your shopping cart.
