Quick View
Definition
Quick View is a feature that lets customers preview product details in a popup without leaving the current page.
It often includes the product image, price, short description, and an “Add to Cart” button.
Good or Bad?
Good when it speeds up browsing and reduces friction in the shopping journey.
Bad if it loads slowly, lacks key product info, or interrupts the user experience.
Why does it matter?
Quick View improves convenience for shoppers, especially on category or search result pages.
It reduces the number of clicks needed to complete a purchase and keeps customers focused on exploring more products.
Common Mistakes
- Showing too little information in the popup
- Making the popup difficult to close or navigate
- Not optimizing the feature for mobile users
How to Improve It
- Include product images, price, stock status, and key options
- Make sure the Quick View is fast and mobile-friendly
- Track usage to ensure it’s increasing conversions, not distracting users
