How to get a URL from a Woo tag or category taxonomy field (ACF PRO)

Hi there,

I’m struggling with obtaining a URL from a selected product tag or category in an ACF taxonomy field. It doesn’t return anything.

I have designed a home page with repeater fields where my customer can make a box, and link to either a product, category, tag or a page. This is achieved by a button group and conditional logic.

I can’t obtain a URL from taxonomy objects (tried ID too). Could anyone point me in the right direction please?

<?php
    
    if ( have_rows( 'home_sections' ) ) : ?>
    
    
    			
    
<?php
while ( have_rows( 'home_sections' ) ) : the_row();
$catlink = get_sub_field( 'home_section_link_cat' );
 $taglink = get_sub_field( 'home_section_link_tag' );
 $linktype = get_sub_field( 'home_section_link_type' ); ?>

<?php if ($linktype == 'category') : ?>
                            	<div class="pt-2 pb-2">
                                     <?php if($catlink):
                                    $term_name = get_cat_name( $term_id ) ;
                                    $term_url = get_category_link( $term_id ); ?>
                                    <a href="<?php echo $term_url; ?>" class="btn btn-primary"><?php echo $btn; ?></a>
                               <?php endif; ?>
                                </div>
<?php elseif ($linktype == 'tag') : ?>
                            	<div class="pt-2 pb-2">
                                     <?php if($taglink):
                                    $term_name = get_cat_name( $term_id ) ;
                                    $term_url = get_category_link( $term_id ); ?>
                                    <a href="<?php echo $term_url; ?>" class="btn btn-primary"><?php echo $btn; ?></a>
                               <?php endif; ?>

What is the return format setting of these fields

$catlink = get_sub_field( 'home_section_link_cat' );
 $taglink = get_sub_field( 'home_section_link_tag' );
 $linktype = get_sub_field( 'home_section_link_type' );
