How to add "Add to Cart" button to custom page template

Technical Q&A
1

Hello all,

I am using the Prestige theme for my store and I am curious what the best way to go about adding an “Add to Cart” button to a custom page template and retaining the ajax add to cart functionality. Currently, when you click the “Add to Cart” button you are taken to /cart even though my theme setting is set to cart type: drawer.

The cart is empty and the cart icon does not display the red notification dot that signifies an item is in your cart.

When you navigate anywhere else on the site the cart is not updated with the item you added from this custom page template. BUT if you were to navigate back to the page using this custom template the cart shows the item you added.

What I have is a custom page template with a number of sections.

Like so: page.custom-template.liquid

{% section ‘page-hero’ %}

{% section ‘page-intro’ %}

{% section ‘page-featured-product’ %}

…

Within the “page-featured-product section”, I am using a “form” liquid tag.

{%- form ‘product’, product, class: ‘ProductForm’ -%}

{%- if selected_variant.available -%} {{ 'product.form.add_to_cart' | t }} {%- else -%} {{- 'product.form.sold_out' | t -}} {%- endif -%}

{%- endform -%}

I added this line within the liquid form tag. Without that, I would receive an error when “Add to Cart” was clicked.

I guess I’m out of ideas on how to make this work.

Hello,

In Prestige theme check custom.js under Assets there you will find the hint to implement ajax cart in collection/custom page.

Thanks
