I am not sure if anyone else is having this issue.
However, I have done a search and can’t see anything documented at this point.
So this issue is this:
I am trying to add a product grid with a buy now button for each product and on the surface, it seems to work when you click the first product. However, I noticed that I couldn’t add another product to the cart. After doing some digging the problem comes down to the “Add to Cart” button not passing the correct product to the cart (seems to only pass the last record/cms product to the cart and as I only had 1x product in the inventory it was blocking any more additions).
I have pulled my client’s site apart and put it back using new instances of the functionality and each time I get the same issue.
Ok so I think I have drilled down to where the problem is. And it is caused by the “product options” feature.
If you create a product without any options then the issue I am experiencing happens, however, to get the correct product to ADD TO CART you have to give it a option in the CMS and then select the option via the dropdown list (you will have to deselect and re-select the option if you have already added it to cart). Then when you press add to cart it will add the correct product from the collection list.
I will keep digging to see if there is a workaround but if anyone has any ideas please let me know.
And @webflow this is definitely a bug with the eCommerce system as this is extremely clunky user experience.
just to confirm you want to be able to add multiple products to the Cart or use the expedited checkout with Buy now? i’m asking because there are some major differences in how these workflows work:
Add to cart will add a product with all selected options (if you’re using variants) and quantity to the Cart; then you’ll be able to add more (same or different) products to the same Cart and then one you’re ready proceed to Checkout
Buy now on the other hand will take the product with all selected options and quantity and go directly to the Checkout; if you go back to the store page and choose a different product and use Buy now again, it’ll replace the previous selection and only use the new product when continuing to the Checkout
As for Products without and with variants (option sets are used to create them), both Add to cart and Buy now should work with them:
if no variants exist, you don’t need to choose any option and can proceed with the Product right away
if there are variants defined, you’ll need to select values for all of them (or you can choose an option to pre-select a default variant in the Designer when building the Product’s grid) and then you’ll be able to proceed with them
Please let me know if you have additional questions!

The way I am trying to get this to work is to allow a user to quickly add multiple items to a cart without having to go to the product page level.
I am trying to use the add to cart button however my clients business only has one version (no variants) and for some reason every time I try and implement a grid view of products with a “add to cart” button on each it will load the last item to the card regardless of what button is pressed.
The second issue is if I pull in a grid within the product pages (i.e. similar products) and again add a quick button (add to cart) the products page “add to cart” button adds the last item in the list and not the collection (product) item being viewed.
I have updated the preview link quickly to show the primary user journey that I am trying to achieve. Including adding to cart functionality, links to product pages and similar products (within product page).
