Quick actions

Quick add lets customers open a product form from a product card or other merchandising area without leaving the current page. In Slab, the editor labels this feature as Quick buy. Quick edit uses the same pattern for items already in the cart, so customers can update their selection from an overlay instead of returning to the product page.

Both experiences work in two parts:

• A block or action opens the overlay.
• A matching product template controls the content rendered inside that overlay.

Quick action blocks

Quick buy button

Use the Quick buy button block anywhere you want to trigger quick add, such as inside a Product card.

• Eligible single-variant products can go straight to the cart.
• Turn on Enable default variant to add the first available variant of eligible products with multiple variants.
• Products that require a subscription open the quick buy form. If the assigned product template contains product customization, customers go to the product page to fill it in.

Quick buy content

Use the Quick buy content block inside the overlay that should display your quick add form.

• This block renders the template selected in Theme settings > Quick actions > Quick buy template.
• Add it inside a Popup, Drawer, or other overlay block depending on how you want quick add to appear.
• The content customers see comes from the selected product template, not from the product card itself.

Quick edit content

Use the Quick edit content block inside the overlay used for editing cart items.

• This block renders the template selected in Theme settings > Quick actions > Quick edit template.
• Add it inside the overlay where customers should edit an existing cart item.
• This is useful when customers need to change variants, subscriptions, or other product options after adding an item to cart.

How to edit quick actions

To change what customers see in quick add or quick edit, first choose the template, then update that same product template.
