quick buy don't show image(gif) i link to the product

Topic summary

Issue: Quick buy in a Shopify blog’s content area works with text links but not when a product is linked to an image/GIF banner. Clicking the GIF does not trigger the quick buy overlay.

Context: The poster attempted to use a designed GIF banner as a clickable quick buy element. Multiple screenshots were shared to illustrate the setup, but the quick buy only appears for linked words.

Explanation: A responder noted that Shopify’s quick buy is typically designed for text links in blog content, not image links, which explains the behavior.

Suggested solutions:

  • Add a styled text link overlay on top of the GIF/image to trigger quick buy.
  • Use a third‑party app that supports quick buy from images.
  • Customize the theme code to enable quick buy on image links (advanced/developer work).

Status: The original poster will try the suggested approaches. No confirmed resolution yet; the discussion remains open.

Hi @Niki-MPL ,
This is Theodore from PageFly - Shopify Page Builder App.

Shopify quick buy might not work with image links in the blog content zone. Here’s why and how to fix it:

Possible Reason: Quick buy is designed for text links, not images.

Solutions:

  1. Text Link Overlay: Place a text link on your GIF that links to the product (style it to blend with the GIF).

  2. Third-Party Apps: Explore Shopify apps offering image-supported quick buy functionality.

  3. Custom Code Editing (Advanced): Modify theme code to enable quick buy on images (requires developer skills).
