A question about linking directly to Able Commerce functions: Is there a way to add a product to the basket and proceed to checkout by clicking one link on an external web page that is not related to Able Commerce?
The closest I've been able to come is a link that goes to the product detail page.

You have to know the product id and it won't work with options or kits.
yoururl/BuyProduct.ashx?p=#
Replace # with the ID of the product.

This feature is not built in. You could customize a script to do so without much effort.

The file BuyProduct.ashx would serve as a good starting point. This file adds a single product to the basket based on a query string parameter. Extend the script to fit your need.

ok we're not techies to create new codes into that file and in fact we have the hosted platform which means we can only see the compiled version of the codes. Before we signed up to the hosting account we were told that this solution is feasible.
i sent an email to
support@ablecommerce.com but havent received any responeses yet.
