What it does

Quick View, in practice.

Adds a Quick view button to every shop-grid card through the ambikly_product_card_actions filter. Clicking it opens a modal and fetches GET /ambikly-pro/v1/quick-view/{id}, a public route that returns a published product's name, image, price, sale price, descriptions, stock state and canonical URL. Simple in-stock products get an Add to cart button wired to the core cart handler; out-of-stock products show a disabled button; products with published variations get a Select options link to the full product page, where variation pricing and stock are resolved correctly. The modal closes on backdrop click, the close button or Escape, and nothing is written to the database.

When it earns its place

Three stores that want Quick View.

1

Fashion grids with many similar items

A clothing store's category pages show dozens of tees. Shoppers open Quick view to read the description and price, then click Select options to pick a size on the product page, and their position in the grid is still there when they come back.

2

Simple consumables bought in bulk

A store selling stationery or snacks has mostly simple products. Shoppers preview each item and add it to the cart from the modal, working through an entire category page without a single page load or losing the filters they applied.

3

Browsing a sale grid

During a sale, shoppers on a homeware store scan a grid of discounted items. The modal shows the struck-through regular price beside the sale price and a working Add to cart, so the decision happens where the discount caught their eye.

Setup

From toggle to live in a few minutes.

  1. Enable it

    Ambikly → Add-ons → Quick View → toggle on. Pro must be active; nothing else to install.

  2. Find it in use

    The storefront surfaces, admin screens and settings it adds are listed under “Where it shows up” above; nothing needs placing by hand unless a shortcode is named there.

  3. Turn it off without losing anything

    Disable the add-on from the same screen. Its settings and data stay in place, and a lapsed license pauses it the same way — the store keeps running.

FAQ

About Quick View.

Does Quick View work with variable products?

Partly. The modal shows the product's image, price and description, but instead of an Add to cart button it shows Select options linking to the product page. Adding a variable product without choosing a variation would charge the parent price, so the add-on avoids that.

Why does Quick View have its own REST endpoint?

The core products route is restricted to store staff, so guests would receive a 401. This add-on registers a public GET /ambikly-pro/v1/quick-view/{id} route that returns only published products and only the fields the modal needs to render.

How does the modal decide a product is out of stock?

It mirrors core stock logic: when stock is managed, the quantity must be above zero; otherwise the stock status must be 'instock'. Out-of-stock simple products show a disabled Out of stock button rather than letting the shopper add them to the cart.

Are there any Quick View settings to configure?

No. Enable the add-on and the button appears on cards; the modal uses your store currency symbol for prices. The button and modal are plain HTML with class names you can restyle from your theme's stylesheet if the defaults do not suit.
