FoxyCart Cheat Sheet: Product and Cart Parameters
Product Parameters
Important Notes:
- All product parameters will be trimmed of excess leading and trailing whitespace when added to the cart. This can cause problems with price validation if you're not careful.

-
url
- Description: A URL for the product, displayed in the cart.
- Accepts: A full URL to the product page, starting with
http:
, or a relative path to the produt from the store's domain (as configured in the store settings). Limited to 200 characters in length.or
https: - Example:
&url=http://example.com/path/to/product
,&url=local/path/to/product
- Notes: The URL will only be applied if the
image
parameter is also present, and will be wrapped around the image in the cart. -
code
- Description: Item code. Can be used however you’d like (internal use, product SKU, etc.).
- Accepts: Any characters. Limited to 200 characters in length.
- Example:
&code=ISBN 978-0-12-345678-9
- Notes: Required if using Link and Form Validation. Not required otherwise.
-
parent_code
- Description: Parent item code. Used if this should be a child product in a bundle.
- Accepts: Any characters. Limited to 200 characters in length.
- Example:
&parent_code=bundle7734
- Notes: There are some special requirements for this field if using Link and Form Validation. If you set quantity_min=1, the child product will be locked to the parent product and won't be able to be deleted by itself or have it's quantity changed independently.
-
quantity
- Description: Quantity of products. If left blank, it will default to 1.
- Default:
1
- Accepts: Integer. Decimals are not supported.
- Example:
&quantity=3
- Notes: In forms it often makes sense to make the
quantity
input be aninput[type=text]
orselect
element to allow the customer to enter or choose their desired quantity. -
quantity_max
- Description: Maximum quantity that should be allowed per product, per cart.
- Accepts: Integer.
- Notes: This attribute, like all others, relies on the products in the cart being identical. If another product is entered with any variation, it is considered a new product. ie.
quantity_max
cannot apply to groupings of multiple products. Also, this value does not control inventory. The values are per cart/transaction/session. -
quantity_min
- Description: Minimum quantity that should be allowed per product, per cart.
- Accepts: Integer.
- Notes: This attribute, like all others, relies on the products in the cart being identical. If another product is entered with any variation, it is considered a new product. ie.
quantity_min
cannot apply to groupings of multiple products. Also, this value does not control inventory. The values are per cart/transaction/session. -
category
- Description: Category identifier for the product.
- Default: This will default to the default category if left blank.
- Accepts: Any valid category code, as configured in the store's admin. Will error on an invalid code.
-
expires
- Description: Allows you to sell products which are only available for purchase before a certain date or for a limited time. You can pass in a number of minutes or a timestamp in the future at which point the product will be removed from the cart. An informational message will be displayed when the order contains a product which will expire within 15 minutes.
- Accepts: number, either in minutes or a timestamp based on FoxyCart server time (currently PST)
- Example:
&expires=15
(expires in 15 minutes) or&expires=1593583199
(expires a second before midnight, June 30th 2020). - Notes: This parameter can be used when setting up subscriptions, but is stripped from products when they are part of a subscription. In other words, once a product with an
expires
value is successfully paid for as part of a subscription, it will persist on that subscription indefinitely. You can find many tools online for creating timestamps which may be helpful here. If the checkout is submitted with an expired product, the customer will be shown an error and told that an expired product has been removed from the cart. After adding, anexpires
parameter is set against the product details in the cart JSON object representing the time that it will expire as an epoch timestamp (in seconds). Currently, using an expires value representing time in minutes will cause the same product to be treated as a unique in the cart. Specifying as a timestamp will keep them unified. -
weight
- Description: Product's per-product weight, used for shipping rate requests.
- Default: If left blank, it will inherit this value from the product’s category. If no category selected, will default to the default category's specified weight. The default units for weight is lbs. This can be changes to kgs. in the category.
- Notes: Supports up to a maximum of three decimal places.
-
length
,width
,height
- Description: Reserved for future use. If you use them, the data will be stored in the cart JSON, but it will not display on the page.
-
shipto
- Description: Allows you to specify specific ship-to address labels for each cart add.
- Default: “me” (meaning, it defaults to the billing contact, and not a separate recipient).
- Accepts: Any string. Products will be grouped by
shipto
value on checkout and in the cart display (if multi-ship is enabled). - Notes: Requires multiship to be enabled for the store.
-
id
- Description: A unique ID per product in the cart, used to make “update” requests to existing products in the cart (as in a JSONP request).
- Accepts: Any valid
id
for a product already in the cart. - Notes: This value is set by FoxyCart, and may be different in different situations. You cannot rely on any product in the cart having the same
id
from one session to another. -
1:
,2:
,3:
,4:
, etc… - Description: Prefixing any product option with an integer will group that option with other similarly numbered options, allowing you to add multiple distinct products to the cart in one request.
- Default: If no grouping prefix is added, the option will be assumed to be a
1:
. - Accepts: Integers from 1-999.
- Notes: All product options must be prefixed in order for grouping to happen, and all required options are still required per product.
- Example:
<form action="http://YOURDOMAIN.foxycart.com/cart" class="foxycart" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="name" value="Fancy Smartphone" /> <input type="hidden" name="price" value="199.99" /> <input type="hidden" name="2:name" value="Leather Case for Smartphone" /> <input type="hidden" name="2:price" value="9.99" /> <input type="submit" value="Buy a Smartphone and a Leather Case!" /> </form>
- CUSTOM Product Options
- Description: You may add any additional attributes to any product you’d like. For example, you can add
&color=green&size=XXL
. If an attribute is passed in with a name not otherwise reserved, it will be added as a product option. - Accepts: Any characters. Custom name attribute limited to 100 characters and the value is limited to 1024 characters.
- Notes: A single product can have a maximum of 100 custom product options
Product Discounting Options
Please see Coupons and Discounts for a complete discussion of how discounts are applied. The following is for reference only.
Discount Methods
-
discount_quantity_amount
- Accepts: A valid discount string.
- Notes: Discounts by an amount, based on the quantity of to-be-discounted products. Abbreviated
$/qty
. -
discount_quantity_percentage
- Accepts: A valid discount string.
- Notes: Discounts by a percentage, based on the quantity of to-be-discounted products. Abbreviated
%/qty
. Note that the value is based on the average of all applicable products, so applying this discount to differently priced items will result in an averaged discount. -
discount_price_amount
- Accepts: A valid discount string.
- Notes: Discounts by an amount, based on the price of to-be-discounted products. Abbreviated
$/$
. -
discount_price_percentage
- Accepts: A valid discount string.
- Notes: Discounts by a percentage, based on the price of to-be-discounted products. Abbreviated
%/$
. Note that the value is based on the average of all applicable products, so applying this discount to differently priced items will result in an averaged discount.
Discount Types
-
allunits
- Also Called: All-Units Quantity Discounts
- Description: Discounts the price of all of the products affected by the discount. Also referred to as “volume discounts” or “bulk order discounts.”
- Notes:
allunits
is the default discount type for quantity discounts applied to products. If a discount type isn't specified,allunits
is applied. Note that “single” is the default type for coupons. - Examples:
- Scenario: Buy two products, take $2 off of both.
- Method:
discount_quantity_amount
- Logic:
allunits|2-2
- Scenario: Orders of five or more get a 10% on every item ordered. Orders of 10 or more get a 20% discount on every item ordered.
- Method:
discount_quantity_percentage
- Logic:
allunits|5-10|10-20
-
incremental
- Also Called: Incremental Quantity Discounts
- Description: Discounts only the units above the tiers you set.
- Notes: Most useful for individual products or many products with the same price. Not useful for
$/$
discount methods. - Examples:
- Scenario: Buy two products, get additional products at $5 off. (The first two are not discounted.)
- Method:
discount_quantity_amount
- Logic:
incremental|3-5
- Scenario: With a quantity of 1-10, all products are at 100% (no discount). With a quantity of 150, 10 products would be at 100%, 40 would be at 90%, 50 would be at 85%, and 50 would be at 80%.
- Method:
discount_quantity_percentage
- Logic:
incremental|11-10|51-15|101-20
-
repeat
- Also Called: Buy One, Get One (BOGO), or “Repeatable Incremental Quantity Discounts”
- Description: Repeatable discounts are somewhat similar to
incremental
discounts, but only have a single tier that repeats. Using this method you can achieve “buy one get one free” types of discounts that repeat (buy 1 get 1, or buy 3 get 3). You can also do something like “buy 3 get the 4th at $5 off”, so buying 5 or 6 would only get a single $5 discount, but buying 8 would get a $10 discount. - Notes: Not useful for
$/$
discount methods. Only accepts one tier. - Examples:
- Scenario: Buy one, get one free (100% off).
- Method:
discount_quantity_percentage
- Logic:
repeat|2-100
- Scenario: Buy 3, get the 4th at 50% off.
- Method:
discount_quantity_percentage
- Logic:
repeat|4-50
-
single
- Also Called: Single Discount, One-Off Discount; or Coupon mode
- Description: Unlike the other discount types, the
single
discount type applies one single discount and not a quantity discount across all products. - Notes:
single
is the default discount type for coupons, as it makes the most sense in that context. For%/qty
and%/$
asingle
discount type will yield the same discount asallunits
. Note that “allunits” is the default discount type for product and category discounts. - Examples:
- Scenario: Buy any 5 products, get $10 off your order.
- Method:
discount_quantity_amount
- Logic:
single|5-10
Discount Syntax
- Example Discount Syntax
-
discount_method=Discount_Name{discount_type|X-A|Y-B|Z-C}
discount_method
: One of the Discount Methods above.Discount_Name
: The text label applied to the discount and displayed to the customer in the cart. For example, “Summer Special” or “Local Coupon Discount”. A discount name is required for discounts to apply properly on cart pageloads.discount_type

if a coupon, orallunits
otherwise.X
,Y
,Z
: “Discount Tiers”. The threshold at which the Discount Amount will apply.A
,B
,C
: “Discount Amounts”. The amount or percentage discount to apply.
Subscription Product Options
-
sub_frequency
- Description: The frequency of billing (every month, every 3 months, every year, etc.).
- Default: None. If this value is empty, the product will not be considered to be a subscription by FoxyCart.
- Accepts: An integer (maximum of 3 digits) followed by a single character denoting the unit of time. For example,
60d
= every 60 days.2w
= every two weeks. For date calculations,1w
=7d
.1m
= every month. When you use them
unit, FoxyCart will assign billing to the current (or assigned) day of the month, to be repeated everyx
months. The date will be moved up when necessary; if set to the 31st, it will process on the 30th of months with 30 days (or 28th/29th of February).1y
= every year..5m
= twice a month. IMPORTANT: The.5
value only works withm
(months). This value will setup bi-monthly subscriptions, once on the start date, and again 15 days later. Example: if you set it to start on the 3rd, it will run on the 3rd and the 18th of each month.
- Notes: A
sub_frequency
is required for a product to be treated as a subscription by FoxyCart.
-
sub_startdate
- Description: Subscription start date. Useful if you'd like to offer a free trial period, or to force subscriptions to process on specific dates (the 1st, 15th, 18th, etc.).
- Default: If this value is left empty, the subscription will start on the date of the transaction.
- Accepts: You can pass through a full date in the
YYYYMMDD
format or just pass in the day of this month in theDD
orD
format. If you pass through a day that has already past, it will start on that day next month. For a relative date from today, you can also specify an integer followed by a single character denoting the unit of time.YYYYMMDD
= Example:20150131
= January, 31 2015.DD
= Example:10
= will run on the 10th of this month or the 10th of next month if today's date is after the 10th.D
= Same asDD
.60d
= 60 days from today.2w
= 2 weeks from today. For date calculations,1w
=7d
.1m
= 1 month from today.1y
= 1 year from today.
- Notes:
- This is an optional field. Not indicating a “sub_startdate” would automatically assign it its default value.
- Subscription start and end dates are not currently tied to a store's timezone settings. Test your start and end dates thoroughly or contact us if you have questions about them.
- The day of the
sub_startdate
will generally be used for all subsequent billing attempts when used with a monthly frequency, but in cases where the date doesn't exist in a month, it will be moved ahead for that month. So if you have a subscription with a start date on Jan-31, it will run on the Feb-28, Mar-31, Apr-30, and etc.
-
sub_enddate
- Description: The date a subscription should end.
- Accepts:
YYYYMMDD
formatted date value in the future. For a relative date from today, you can also specify an integer followed by a single character denoting the unit of time.YYYYMMDD
= Example:20150131
= January, 31 2015.60d
= 60 days from today.2w
= 2 weeks from today. For date calculations,1w
=7d
.1m
= 1 month from today.1y
= 1 year from today.
- Notes:
- This is an optional field. Not indicating a “sub_enddate” would make the subscription run indefinitely.
- If a subscription is scheduled to run on the 4th, and the
sub_enddate
is the 4th, the subscription will end before it is billed to the customer. So, this parameter should be set to a date after the date you want the last transaction in the subscription to run. For example, if you have a monthly subscription starting on January 1st, 2015 that is supposed to run for six months and then stop, setsub_endate
to 20150602 (June 2nd, 2015) so that the transaction on June 1st is not cancelled by the end date.
-
sub_token
- Description: Unique URL per subscription for loading your subscription up into a cart and modifying its contents. Very useful when used in conjunction with the
redirect
feature as you can load up a customer's subscription and then redirect them back to your product page so they can add something to it. - Accepts: A valid
sub_token
(retrieved from the API, XML datafeeds, or admin). - Notes: When a
sub_token
is loaded by the customer, the customer's cart is emptied and replaced by the content of the subscription represented by thesub_token
.
-
sub_cancel
- Description: A flag indicating the subscription in question (as retrieved from the
sub_token
) should be cancelled. By “canceling”, the subscription gets asub_enddate
set, on which day it will be ended and made inactive. - Accepts:
true
to set the end date to tomorrow, ornext_transaction_date
to set the end date to the subscriptions next transaction date. - Notes:
- Requires a
sub_token
to function. Otherwise there will not be any subscription to cancel. - Foxy native email receipts will include links for the customer to be able to update or cancel their subscription. The cancel link will by default be set to
sub_cancel=true
, so the subscription will end the following day. If you want to instead default these links to cancel on the next transaction date, you can edit the language strings for your store. On the “language” page of the Foxy administration, expand the “email” section and search for “sub_cancel=true”. There will be two instances of it - simply updatetrue
tonext_transaction_date
to change the links.
-
sub_restart
- Description: A flag that makes the subscription products payable “now”, when used with a
sub_token
URL. This can (and generally should) be used instead of relying on past-due amounts. - Accepts:
true
: Collect payment “right now”.auto
: Collect payment “right now” if and only if the subscription's past-due amount is greater than 0. Addingsub_restart=auto
will eventually be the default Foxy behavior for updating subscriptions.
- Notes:
- This must be passed in with a
sub_token
or it will have no effect. - Normally if you load up a
sub_token
URL, it will allow modifying the subscription, but will not change the subscription's next date, nor will it charge the customer immediately for the products in the cart. (A past-due amount will still be payable “now”, but the rest of the products will simply bill according to the subscription's next transaction date.) This flag makes the subscription charge “now”. - This flag is almost always going to be preferable to customers paying the single lump sum past-due amount, as it ensure taxes, shipping, and product details are maintained.
- If the “reset the next transaction date on payment (past due or restart)” option on the “advanced” setting page of the Foxy administration is checked, then the next date will be updated to be one frequency ahead of todays date. If unchecked, the next date will remain as it currently is.
-
sub_modify
- Description: Allows the “add to cart” link or form to completely replace the existing subscription loaded (in the same or a previous cart request) via the
sub_token
. (The default behavior is to add new products to the existing subscription, and set the frequency and dates to match.) - Accepts:
replace
- Notes:
- This is an optional parameter. If omitted, it will default to an “append” behavior.
- Upgrading/Downgrading: This can be useful in upgrading or downgrading subscriptions, or otherwise modifying subs. For instance, if you had a monthly membership service, you could create an upgrade link that replaces the currently loaded subscription (loaded via the
sub_token
) with the upgraded subscription. - Changing “Auto-Ship” Subscriptions: Similarly, you could use this functionality to replace an auto-ship order that may have multiple different products. Let's say the customer has a subscription for Product A and B, and wants to change it to Product B and 2 Product Cs, you could build an order form that includes the
sub_modify=replace
param, and it would replace the customer's currently loaded subscription. - Removing End Dates: To clear an end-date from a subscription you're replacing, pass
sub_enddate=00000000
. - Prorating? At present, this does not prorate a subscription. So if you're halfway through a subscription period and replace the subscription, any change in the price between the old and new subscription total will not be prorated. We may add an additional possibilities for this parameter in the future.
Product Option Modifiers
Product option modifiers allow you to modify the price
, weight
, code
,
or category
when another option is set. Modifiers are placed inside curly brackets ({}
) at the end of your product option, and can add to (+
), subtract from (-
), or set (:
) new values to the modified option. Multiple modifiers can be chained together with the “pipe” symbol (|
), like value=“S{p+1.50|w-1|c:01a|y:teeny_category}”
. When using cart validation it is recommended to set your initial values high then modify down, rather than the other way around. See the validation docs for explanation. Note: if you're working with a product code modifier, be sure your code input comes before your product option that modifies it. Modifiers cannot be applied to standard product options (ie: price or name).
-
p
- Modifies: Price
- Increasing:
&size=Small{p+5}
- Decreasing:
&size=Small{p-5}
- Setting:
&size=Small{p:5}
- Notes: If working with multicurrency, you may need to append the currency code to the price as required, such as
{p+5CAD}
. If no currency code is specified, it's assumed the price is in the store currency. -
w
- Modifies: Weight. Behaves like the
price
modifier above. -
c
- Modifies: Code
- Setting:
&code=foo&size=Small{c:bar}
would yield acode
ofbar
- Appending:
&code=foo&size=Small{c+bar}
would yield acode
offoobar
-
y
- Modifies: Category
- Setting:
&category=foo&size=Small{y:bar}
would yield acategory
ofbar
- Notes: This can be especially handy in donation forms that allow both single and recurring donations.
Transaction (Non-Product Specific) Options
Transaction Options are parameters included within cart requests that are not product-specific. Instead, they impact the entire cart or session. In the same way as the Product Options above, Transaction Options are included within the cart request, either as an additional parameter in the add to cart link, or as an input within a form.
-
cart
- Description: The
cart
parameter allows for various behaviors to be performed when the cart is requested. Note, thecart
parameter is separate from the/cart
portion of the cart URL. Within an add to cart link it should be separate like/cart?cart=view
, or specified as a hidden input in an add to cart form. - Accepts:
add
: The default cart action. If you don't include a cart input,add
is assumed.view
: Displays the cart (ifoutput=html
) or returns the cart (ifoutput=json
) without adding any products to the cart. Custom session values can be added on acart=view
request.checkout
: Redirects to the checkout page immediately. Any “add to cart” requests are processed first, so you can add a product to the cart and go immediately to the checkout.checkout
: Withfc_payment_method=paypal_ec
Redirects to PayPal Express Checkout with reference transactions immediately. Any “add to cart” requests are processed first, so you can add a product to the cart and go immediately to the checkout.checkout_paypal_express
: Redirects to PayPal for the legacy Express Checkout immediately. Any “add to cart” requests are processed first, so you can add a product to the cart and go immediately to the checkout.updateinfo
: Redirects to the checkout page with theupdateinfo
flag set, allowing the customer to update their billing information without actually buying anything. This will empty the customer's cart. More info about the ''updateinfo'' functionality.empty
: Deprecated. Will be removed in a future release. Use theempty
parameter instead.
- Default:
view
-
h:…
(CUSTOM Session Values) - Description: “Session values”, as the name suggests, are added to the customer's session, and are not tied to products. Values stored in session values are available in the JSON, as well as the XML datafeed upon a successful transaction.
- Accepts: Any
h:name=value
pair. Theh:
prefix on thename
makes it a session value as opposed to a custom product option. - Notes: Session values are useful for synching custom fields between FoxyCart and your own system, or using information from an external system to manipulate FoxyCart. For example, you could pass in a customer ID value that would sync back to your own database. Or a referrer or affiliate ID could be added to the session and then processed via the XML datafeed upon a completed transaction. Maximum length for the value is 700 characters.
-
empty
- Description: This will clear the contents of the cart. If products are added in the same request, the cart will be emptied and then the products will be added.
- Accepts:
true
: Empties the cart, including all custom session values, coupons, customer address and prepopulation values, shipping selections, etc.reset
: Does all of the above but also resets the cookie. The use case for this is uncommon, so in general you should use thetrue
instead of thereset
value.
-
coupon
- Description: Adds one or more coupon codes directly to the cart.
- Accepts: Any valid coupon codes, separated by a comma.
- Notes: If an invalid code is added, or a code is re-added, an error may display on the cart. As with all coupon codes, once a code is added it will remain for the life of the session or until removed. This can be useful if you want to have a link with a coupon code that doesn't actually add a product to the cart but instead redirects to a order page or the website's homepage. Check the
redirect
option below for more. - Notes: If you're using the link and form validation, do not sign the
coupon
value. -
redirect
- Description: Immediately redirects the user to a page on cart load, such as
&redirect=index.html
. - Accepts:
path/to/file.ext
- Notes: For security reasons, the path must be at the store's domain (as entered in the store's FoxyCart settings). ie. You cannot redirect to
example.org/path/to/file.ext
if your store's domain in FoxyCart isexample.com
. Additionally, you may need to URL encode any?
and&
symbols in a redirection path. -
locale
- Experimental Functionality: This feature will be further tested and documented. Please refer to FoxyCart's multicurrency documentation for more info.
- Description: Sets the currency for the cart. Converts any existing items in the cart from the current currency (the store's default) to the newly specified currency.
- Accepts: FoxyCart will attempt to match a locale in the following order. If no locale is matched, it will continue to the next option and attempt a match there.
- A full locale code in the format of 2 character language code, followed by an underscore and a two character territory, such as
en_US
(US, English) ores_MX
(Mexico, Spanish). - A value prefixed by the
h:lang
value: Whatever you pass through as thelocale
value will be prefixed with the value currently set inh:lang
, concatenated with an underscore. So if you have seth:lang=es
and pass throughlocale=MX
, the session will attempt to set the locale toes_MX
. - A value prefixed by
en_
: If the above don't match, thelocale
value will be prefixed withen_
in an attempt to match a valid locale. - Case-insensitive locale match
- Notes: Changing the
locale
will empty the cart of its products. Products added in the same request will work fine, however. -
template_set
- Description: Used to specify a specific template set to apply to this cart session
- Accepts: Any valid template set code
- Notes: If a template set is applied which changes the locale of the cart session, any existing products will be removed from the cart. Products added in the same request will be added normally.
-
output
- Description: Specify the output format for the cart request.
- Accepts:
html
json
(will load the JSON cart object)
- Default:
html
-
callback
- Description: Used to make an
output=json
request return a JSONP (instead of JSON) response. This will typically be used with a javascript library like jQuery. -
fc_auth_token
- Description: Used with Single Sign-On (SSO) to allow a customer to proceed through to the checkout.
-
h:shipto_residential
- Description: Since shipping rates can be returned from the cart (where the
company
address field isn't entered), and since the difference between residential and commercial shipping rates can be important, you can set this totrue
orfalse
to override the setting from the shipping section of the FoxyCart admin. - Accepts:
true
orfalse
- Default: n/a. Shipping rates are determined in the shipping settings in the FoxyCart admin.
-
h:bypass_maintenance_mode
- Description: You can set this to
true
to override the maintenance mode for your store (and view the checkout normally). - Accepts:
true
- Default:
false
-
utm_source
,utm_medium
,utm_campaign
,utm_term
,utm_content

View Data
FoxyCart uses twig and twig.js as a template language so you can completely customize everything about your checkout experience. Listed below is all the data which is exposed to the templates and also available in JavaScript in the FC.json variable.
When outputting in the template, you would utilise Twig, like {{ variablename }}
. Note that if you're looking to access data that is within arrays (such as items, or item options), then you need to access those within a for
loop in the Twig, like:
{% for item in items %} {{ item.name }} {% endfor %}
Note that the data is broken into different sections by the page scope it's available on. The cart is available on all pages (as it is present on all pages), but there are some strings that are specific to just other pages like the checkout and receipt.
