# Generate a Buy-Link using the Default Flows cart

## Overview

One of the options to integrate your platform with the 2Checkout systems is to generate a buy-link that you can then apply to the Buy button on your web store. In this article, we will show you how to create a buy-link both for a single product as well as for multiple selections of different products.

## Availability

All merchants (on any type of account) can generate a link from the Merchant Control Panel.

## Generate a buy-link for one or more products using the default flows

{% hint style="warning" %}
Any buy link generated using the MD5 hashing algorithm should be changed to use SHA2/SHA3, as per the [Migration guide](/2checkout-apis/2checkout-apis/security-algorithms/upgrade-from-md5-to-sha2-sha3-algorithm.md) documentation.
{% endhint %}

### Log in to the Merchant Control Panel

Log in to your 2Checkout account in the [Merchant Control Panel](https://secure.2checkout.com/cpanel).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Open Generate links

Navigate to **Setup** and click on [Generate links](https://secure.2checkout.com/cpanel/integration.php). 

* Learn how to manage buy-link behavior by using [query parameters](/payment-link/checkout-links-and-options/buy-link-parameters.md).

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose Checkout links and Default flows cart

Click on **Checkout links** and the Default flows cart. Here are the two most popular templates for it:

* One page checkout without review&#x20;
* One page checkout with review&#x20;
* Learn more about purchase flows/funnels [here](https://verifone.cloud/docs/2checkout/Documentation/07Commerce/04Purchase_flows/).

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Select one or more products

Select **one or more products** from the dropdown list.

If you have more than 2000 products in your product catalog in your 2Checkout account, you can perform multiple selections on the **Generate links** page, which allows you to select more products at a time instead of using individual search.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Modify selection (quantity, pricing options)

After selecting your product, a table will open under the selection field, that will allow you to modify the quantity for your product, its additional pricing options, or remove it from your selection.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Generate Link

The last step is to click on **Generate Link** to create your buy-link and place it on the call-to-action button on your online store. You can control order interface behavior with the [advanced options for checkout](https://verifone.cloud/docs/2checkout/Documentation/07Commerce/Checkout-links-and-options/Checkout-advanced-options/).
