Configuring Product Card Appearance and Add-to-Cart Behavior
The Product cards section controls how individual product cards look and behave across your store, including collection pages, search results, and recommendation sections. Beyond visual styling, this section also lets you configure the add-to-cart experience, including how customers select SKUs and complete purchases directly from the product card. It is organized into the following configuration areas:
Product Information
This section controls what information appears on each product card and how customers interact with it, including the add-to-cart flow for quick purchasing. The following settings are located under Product cards > Product Information in Global settings.
- Quick add-to-cart icon display: Toggles the visibility of the quick add-to-cart icon on product cards.
-
Add-to-cart flow: Controls the purchase path when a customer clicks the add-to-cart icon on a product card. Use this setting to optimize the add-to-cart experience based on your product catalog, for example, choosing a SKU selection step for products with multiple variants. Options are:
-
Quick add-to-cart: Adds the product directly to the cart.
- Pop-up product selection: Opens a pop-up where the customer selects a SKU before adding to cart.
-
Pop-up product card overlay: After the customer clicks the add-to-cart icon, a SKU selector appears as an overlay on the product card image. The customer selects a SKU, then clicks the add-to-cart icon again to complete the purchase.
Note: To use Pop-up product card overlay, you must first add a Top-layer image overlay to the product card and configure it to display the desired product information (e.g., a variants selector). The Top-layer image overlay supports three interaction styles:
- Persistent overlay: The overlay is always visible. Hovering over the product or clicking the add-to-cart icon does not change its visibility.
- Fade-in overlay: The overlay appears when the customer hovers over the product or clicks the add-to-cart icon.
- Fade-out overlay: The overlay disappears when the customer hovers over the product or clicks the add-to-cart icon.
The Mobile persistent overlay toggle is also available. When enabled, the overlay remains visible on mobile at all times and does not fade in or out when the customer taps the add-to-cart icon or the product. If both the overlay and the product information area have a variants selector, the SKU selected in the overlay takes priority. When Pop-up product selection is chosen, the SKU selected in the pop-up will be added to the cart.
-
Quick add-to-cart: Adds the product directly to the cart.
- Display product title on desktop: Toggles the visibility of the product title on desktop.
- Display product title on mobile: Toggles the visibility of the product title on mobile.
