Virtual Layout

If not using any custom layout or collection, the default virtual layout will output as follows:

<a href="javascript:" data-ecommerce_buy_now_Item="{{this.id}}" class="ecommerceBuyNow_Item system_button">{{this.buttonName | default:"Buy now "}}</a>

Accessing the Data

JSON Output

You can output the full JSON for your component data by referencing the root Liquid object {{this}} in your module’s layouts, or directly on your page, if using the collectionVariable parameter in your component tag.

For example:

{% component type: ... collectionVariable: "myData" %}

You can then render the JSON like so:

{{myData}}

For more details on using this approach, see Part 2 of the free ‘Learning Liquid Course’.

Rendering Property Values

This data is also accessible directly on the Page or Template via a Liquid Collection by adding collectionVariable to the Component.

An example using collectionVariable with value "buynowCollection":

{% component type: "ecommerce_buy_now", itemId: "2535", collectionVariable: "buynowCollection" %}

Accessing the name of the item, which in our example would render the value DEMO Product 1

{{buynowCollection['name']}}
