"Add to Cart" instead of "Choose options" Button to Dawn Theme

Topic summary

Goal: Add an “Add to cart” (quick add) button that adds products directly without triggering the variant selection popup in the Dawn theme.

  • Behavior: For products with multiple variants/options (e.g., size, color), Dawn shows “Choose options” and opens a popup so customers select a variant. This prevents automatically adding the first variant by default.

  • Single-variant products: The button can display as “Add to cart” and add directly without a popup.

  • Settings vs. behavior: Changing the button label in theme settings only changes text, not the underlying logic or popup behavior.

  • Customization: Removing or altering the popup for multi-variant products requires advanced theme customization (e.g., modifying quick add behavior or disabling it per product). Developers offered services for this.

  • Rationale: The popup improves UX by ensuring customers choose the specific variant they want.

  • Attachments: One screenshot showing where the button text is changed.

  • Status: No built-in solution provided; proceed with custom coding or keep default behavior. Discussion remains open.

Hello,

So I am currently Designing my Shopify Store and want to add a “Quick add or Add to cart” Button.

Now I am Aware that Changing Text Here:

It Will Change the button name.

But what I am looking for is that once a Customer Click the ADD TO CART Button, It will add to cart automatically without the POP UP in the middle of the screen.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @jonelburgos :waving_hand: This is the behavior for products with multiple variant options, the popup has to show for a customer to make a selection.

Otherwise it would be forcing the first variant to always be put in the cart instead.

This is an advanced theme customization to change the quick adds behavior or disable it for certain products.

If you need this customization then contact me for services.
Contact info in forum signature.
ALWAYS please provide context, examples: store url, theme name, post url(s) , or any further detail in ALL correspondence.

Choose option will appear on products have variations, it will display as Add to cart on single products

Hi @jonelburgos ,

Do your products have many variants?

When adding add to cart, if your product has many variants, the popup will help customers choose the variant they want and this will be really good.

I hope it helps!
