How to customize a shop page for easy product addition?

Topic summary

A store owner wants a collection/shop page where customers can add products directly from the grid and filter by categories on the side, asking if a specific app is required.

Key findings:

  • The store uses the Dawn theme, which supports an “Add to cart” button on product cards.
  • For products with multiple options/variants, Dawn shows “Choose more options” instead of a direct add-to-cart.

Actions suggested:

  • Enable “Quick add button” via Online store > Themes > Customize > Collections > Default collection > Product grid > Enable quick add button (screenshot provided).
  • Preview behavior on the collections page to confirm buttons appear as expected.

Limitations and considerations:

  • Direct add-to-cart from the grid may not be available for multi-variant products without selecting options.
  • The sidebar category filtering/layout appears to be a theme-level feature; no app was recommended. Browsing the Shopify Theme Store may be needed to find themes that support the desired sidebar category design.

Status:

  • Partial resolution: quick add is enabled via theme settings; sidebar category layout needs theme evaluation and may remain open.

Hi, I am trying to get a shop page to look like this photo, so that people can add products to their shop without going into each product and see it all on the same page, choosing the categories they want on the side.

Is there a specific plugin/app that needs to be installed for that?

Thank you

Hi @AscendStudio
Just checked and found that you are using the Dawn theme, in this case Dawn theme support to show the add to cart button on product card element, but if the product has more than one option, the button choose more option will show instead of ADD TO CART button.

This is the page you can view the button showing on your store

Hi @AscendStudio

You can “Enable quick add button” function to make your shop look like this from Online store > Themes > Customize > Collections > Default collection > Product grid > select option Enable quick add button

Hello @AscendStudio :waving_hand:

This should be likely a theme feature, not app feature. You can browse the theme store to see which one supports this.
