Use the admin tool to sign products with HMAC

How to use the admin to manually sign product links and forms with HMAC.

The Foxy admin includes a built-in tool that signs product links and forms for you. This is useful for static sites, one-off forms, or any situation where you want to sign a small number of links or forms without implementing a signing library.

Steps

  1. 1

    Build your product link or form as you normally would, without any HMAC signing applied.

  2. 2

    Go to the Foxy admin.

  3. 3

    Go to Store, then Sample Code.

  4. 4

    Paste your link or form into the text box under Step 2, replacing any code already there.

    • Links must be complete <a> elements.

    • Forms must be complete <form> elements with the action attribute pointing to your store URL.

  5. 5

    Click Encode HTML.

  6. 6

    Copy the signed HTML from the output box and paste it into your page.

Notes

  • If you need to update a signed link or form, you cannot edit the signed version directly. Rebuild the original unsigned version, make your changes, and re-encode it.

  • You can paste multiple links or forms at once and encode them in a single step.

  • HMAC validation must be enabled in your store settings before signed links and forms will be validated. See Enable HMAC product validation.
