Hi @Bestsleepever!

What version of Magento are you on?

Since Magento 1.8, it's no longer possible to add a product to the cart via an external link.

It may be possible to achieve this with some custom development, please see this answer on the Magento Stack Exchange: 

https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/37779/i-want-to-use-add-to-cart-via-url-in-magento-1-8-b...

Any further questions, let me know

Hi @Bestsleepever!

I think you can do via core php using iframe.

it is just an idea.

create a module and pass the $product object in the phtml file. after that create only "add to cart" like:

$product=Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($productId);//load the product by product id

$product=Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->loadByAttribute('sku',$skuNum);//or load the product by sku number

$product=Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->setStoreId($storeId)->loadByAttribute('sku',$skuNum);//or load the product from a given store id

$url = Mage::helper('checkout/cart')->getAddUrl($product);

<form action = "<?php echo $url;?> ">

<input type='hidden' name="product_id" value="$productId" />

<button type="submit" value="Add to cart" />

</form>

You can try with it.

Thanks
