6014 - Changing Option Display Order in Quick Shopping Cart
Once you've added options to your Quick Shopping Cart® product, they display on your storefront. Changing their display order can enhance your storefront's appearance and affect how visitors purchase your products.
For Standalone Options, change the display order so your storefront looks better to shoppers or to keep items consistent.
For Configurable Variation Options, the order in which the options display affects how customers order the product. For example, if you are selling a T-shirt with Configrable Variation Options of size and color, you want to put size as the first configurable option. That way, a customer can select their size and then see which colors are available.
Note: For example of how you can use these options, see Using the product variations grid .
To Change the Order in which Product Options Display
- Log in to your Quick Shopping Cart account.
- From the Manage menu, in the Catalog section, select Products.
- Select the product to edit.
- On the Options tab, click the Move Up or Move Down arrow to reposition your options.
- Click Save.
Note: You must publish your storefront for changes to take effect. For more information, see How to publish .
