Hi Blackbaud developers,

Would it be okay for you to allow parents to go to SmartTuition's Shopping Cart via a URL link through

, and have items from the Shopping Cart automatically selected if the URL contains a query string such as &student="JohnDoe"&fee=HotLunchJune&quantity=5&academicyear=2022/2023

Use case: I am creating a form on our school website for parents to sign up for field trips and purchase hot lunches for their kids. Upon submitting the form, I would like to take them via a link to Shopping Cart to pay, and have their selections automatically filled so as to avoid errors if they have to make the selection twice. I would need them to answer additional questions on our online form which they can't do in Shopping Cart.

Thanks,
