I’m facing an issue where the “Add to Cart” button on my product page (https://colicbutton.no/products/colic-button) isn’t working, and I receive the error: “Required parameter missing or invalid: items.”

Could anyone with more knowledge than me assist in diagnosing the problem, or advise if there are any common conflicts I should check for?

Hi @Akari-Nicolay , did you manage to fix this? It seems to work fine on my end in Chrome & Firefox.

Yes, i did. It was set to open a “popup cart” which i don’t have, so managet changed it to a separate cart page - and it works. :slightly_smiling_face:
