"Quick shop"-function

By clicking on the "quick shop"-button (or "quick view") your visitors can get a quick impression of the product specs, without having to click through to the specific product detail page.

In the quick shop window, a compact view of the product is shown in an "overlay" window (where the background is dimmed). The main advantage here is a better user experience: visitors don't need to open a new page (this also saves page loading time), and they can place their order directly from within the quickshop window, and after adding to the cart they can then choose whether to stay on the overview page to continue shopping, or to proceed to the checkout for final payments.

The cart will be updated automatically, and the new total amount is being calculated. This means also an improvement for the selling proces and adds to the conversion rate.

Note: This quick shop function is only meaningfull if the visitor doesn't has to choose product variants; these can only be shown on the product detail page. If this is the case, the add-to-cart button text for these products will be automatically altered in "go to product detail page" (instead of "add to cart").

For a complete overview of all product information visitors can then click to go to the product detail page.

The quick shop function can be activated via the setting "Show Quickshop:" (See 06a. PAGE TYPE: Catalog & Collection Page)

Activate the "quick shop" function only if not all your products have product variants.

1. SALE label

The "Sale" label is automatically assigned to a product as soon as a product has a discount price, so as soon as there is a new and an old product price. How the "Sale" label looks like, is your choice:

  • as text label, so as the word "sale" (this word will be translated automatically into all the languages your shop is using);
  • as graphic, with your own custom sale icon image. You can upload this image through the back office at Design > Settings. If you want this icon to be crisp also for "retina"  displays, then you can upload a second "retina'-ready" sale icon (the pixel dimension of this image needs to be twice the size of the regular sale icon. Note: this sale icon image will then be used for all languages.

    3. for label "EXCLUSIVE": fill in text "Exclusive" (note the Uppercase!)

  2. Click on top on the green plus-icon
  3. Under heading "Add item" you enter the translation key, for example "Action" for the "action" label; please note thatv this key name should match exactly with the key name that we used in our code, and that they're all in English.
  4. Hit "Save"; in the next window you enter the subsequent translations for this key (per language, dependant on the number of languages your show is set up for).
  5. Repeat this (if you want) for the label "Exclusive".
Note: Label "New" is build in by default, you don't need to set up your own translation key for this, as it will alredy be translated automatically.

  2. Look in the list for the product;
