The `direct` attribute of the `purchase_link` shortcode isn't working as expected

[henrywright]

If the direct attribute is set to true, the download is added to the cart.

[purchase_link id="94" text="Buy Now" style="button" direct="true"]

I expected the cart step to be skipped. Instead I expected the user to be taken to the checkout page.

Amir kindly suggested I use the blocks instead.
