"quick add" button on only one collection in Dawn

Topic summary

Goal: Enable the “quick add” button only on a single collection in the Shopify Dawn theme, without it appearing sitewide.

Key solutions proposed:

  • Create a dedicated collection template for that collection and enable the quick add setting on that template only. Dawn supports per-template settings (not just global). A setup guide was linked, and a screenshot was shared.
  • Alternatives (not preferred if the template method is available):
    • Edit the card-product.liquid snippet (product card) to conditionally not render the quick add form outside the target collection.
    • Use CSS to hide the quick add form on other collections (example provided), noting the form still loads in the DOM.

Resources: Official Shopify docs on creating new templates and adding custom CSS were referenced. An image attachment illustrates the template setting.

Outcome: The template-based approach was confirmed as the correct, built-in method for Dawn. The requester acknowledged the solution.

Status: Resolved; no outstanding questions.

Hi there,

I am trying to enable the “quick add” button on only one collection in Dawn theme but enabling quick add seems to add it to every product on the website. Is there any way of enabling it on one collection only?

You need to either:

  • modify the logic of the collections card-product.liquid snippet so the quick add form isn’t even rendered to the frontend
  • or use a CSS bandaid in a custom-css setting with an alternate templates. The form will still be sent to the frontend but not displayed.

CSS example for all the other collections to now show the quick add form:

.quick-add product-form { display: none; pointer-events: none; }

Hi @steve131

You can create a new collection template for that collection so you can enable quick add for it only

@steve131 Use @Dan-From-Ryviu 's answer, Dawn does have the setting per template, not as a global that would have to be customized.
