Hi @aleccs

I’m afraid you can’t do it from the backend editor page. To do that, you need to modify your template by using the do_shortcode() and the get_field() functions.

I hope this helps 🙂

Hi @aleccs

Here’s an example how to do it:

$my_number = get_field('mynumber');

echo do_shortcode('[add_to_cart_url id=' . $my_number . ']');

Please keep in mind that you need to put it inside The Loop.

If you have time, please learn more how the template works here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development.

If you don’t have time to learn it, I suggest you hire a developer to help you out with it, and I’d recommend looking for one on https://studio.envato.com/ or https://www.upwork.com/.

I hope this helps 🙂

Thank you for the quick reply. Can you give me the full idea?
I’m very new and important about this. With examples it is possible
Learning syntax better for me. You create the form that you have to decide how you want the results to display.
