Hi @MosaicArtist. To your first question, yes that works. As long as there are no modifier sets attached to your items (ie - they only have variations, if applicable), you can create checkout links with optional QR codes for customers to purchase items.

To your second question, no you can not do this. This would be too complicated, I think, for the quick functionality that is provided by checkout links. If you want, you can head over to the Ideate Board and submit a feature request to the Online team. I wouldn’t hold my breath on this one, though. After all, what you are asking for is the very purpose of web sites — to showcase our businesses and the items we sell. But, I guess it would be worth a try.
One other limitation to keep in mind about online checkout links. They are “one item per cart” types of transactions. Customers can not use them to purchase, say, multiple pieces of art at one time. Each item would be a separate transaction. Again, this is a function of the simplicity of the feature — to provide quick online checkout without the need for a website.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
