Quick view popup

The Quick view popup of Local opens from Quick buy on product cards; its template sets the gallery and which product blocks appear.

Applies to: Local 4.2.1 and later. Added in: Local 1.0.0. Last checked: 2026-10-13 against Local 4.2.1.

The Quick view popup opens over the page when a customer selects the quick buy button of a product card and the product has options to choose. It shows the product's gallery and the blocks you set, so customers can pick a variant and add it to the cart without leaving the page.

Where to find it: in the theme editor, open the template picker and select Products → quick-view, then select Quick view.

The quick-view template opens only inside the popup. It has one section, and you build the popup from its blocks, like the product page.

When does Quick buy open the popup?

  • A product with options (for example sizes) opens the popup.
  • A product with only one variant is added to the cart straight away, without the popup.
  • Turn on Always open quick buy modal in Theme settings → Product card → Buy buttons to open the popup for every product.

The same popup opens from the Products list and Complementary products blocks, the cart recommendations, the Quick buy button block, and product links in blog posts with Enhance product links on.

Media

The popup gallery is always a slider. Its settings work as on the product page:

  • Images aspect ratio, Videos and other media aspect ratio, Crop videos when following images aspect ratio and Fit images inside container set the media shape.
  • Show border around gallery, Inherit card design properties and Gallery inner spacing set the frame.
  • Gallery slider pagination shows dots or thumbnails.
  • Enable video looping, Enable video autoplay and Disable parallax effect set the videos and the swipe effect.

The popup has no image zoom and no sticky add to cart.

Functionality

Select the first available variant by default selects the first variant in stock when the popup opens. When it is off, customers must select every option before they can add to cart.

Product blocks

The popup uses the product page blocks. The default popup shows Vendor, Title, Price, Variant picker and Buy buttons. These blocks are available, and documented on the product page block pages:

The Share, Complementary products, Button and Popup blocks are not available in the popup.

Settings are not shared with the product page: a block you add to the product page does not appear in the popup. Add it to the quick-view template too, for example the Metaobject swatch metafields of the Variant picker (see Variant swatches) or a Custom property that is required.

Why is my custom property or swatch missing in quick view?

Because the quick-view template has its own blocks. Open Products → quick-view in the theme editor and add the same block, with the same settings, as on the product page. A required Custom property that exists only on the product page is not asked in the popup, so the product can be added without it.

All Quick view popup settings

Every setting of the section and of its 31 blocks, with its type and default.
