# Show STOQ buttons on quick add and sticky bars

> Add the Preorder and Notify me button to Quick Buy popups, featured product sections, and sticky add-to-cart bars.

By default STOQ replaces the add-to-cart button on your standard product page and in supported collection grids. Some themes add extra places to buy: a **Quick Buy** (quick-add or quick-shop) popup, a **featured product** section on the home page, or a **sticky add-to-cart bar** that follows the customer as they scroll. These are separate product forms, so STOQ has to be pointed at each one for your specific theme. Once set up, the **Preorder** and **Notify me** button appear there too, reflecting live inventory and preorder status just like on the main product page.

## Before you begin

- A **paid STOQ plan**. These placements are part of the Featured product and Quick Buy feature and are disabled on the free plan.
- The STOQ app embed enabled on your theme. See [Enable STOQ on your theme](https://help.stoqapp.com/general/enable-stoq-on-your-theme/).
- Your theme must actually have the surface you want the button on, a Quick Buy popup, a featured product section, or a sticky add-to-cart bar.

## Choose your route

Quick Buy popups and home-page featured sections have a built-in request link in the button design controls. Sticky add-to-cart bars and any other custom secondary form are set up by contacting support directly.

| Surface | How to set it up |
|---|---|
| Quick Buy popup (collection, home, or search) | Request setup from the button design controls |
| Featured product section (home page) | Request setup from the button design controls |
| Sticky add-to-cart bar or other secondary product form | Contact support with your theme details |

## Request Quick Buy or featured product setup

1. **Open your button design controls**

   - For **preorders**: click **Preorders** in the left menu, then open your preorder widget design.
   - For **back in stock alerts**: click **Back in stock alerts** in the left menu, open **Design**, then open the Notify me button customizer.

2. **Find the placement for the page you want**

   In the per-page controls (Home, Collection, or Search), find the checkbox labelled **'Notify me'/'Preorder' on Quick Buy** or **'Notify me'/'Preorder' on Featured products**. It's disabled until the integration is built for your theme.

3. **Click Request setup**

   Click the **Request setup** link next to the description. STOQ records the request, notifies the team, and the placement shows a **Requested** badge.

4. **Wait for the team to build it**

   STOQ builds the integration for your theme, then emails and messages you in chat when it's ready. The checkbox becomes active.

5. **Turn the placement on**

   Once it's active, tick the checkbox to show the button in that surface, and save.

## Request a sticky bar or other custom form

A sticky add-to-cart bar, or any secondary product form that isn't a Quick Buy popup or home featured section, is configured directly by the STOQ team for your theme. There's no self-serve checkbox for it.

1. **Open support chat**

   In the STOQ app, go to the **Support** section and click **Chat with us**.

2. **Tell the team what you need**

   Say you want the Preorder or Notify me button on your sticky add-to-cart bar, and name your theme and a product page where the bar appears. The team maps the button to that surface for your theme.

It's a one-time setup and works automatically afterward, for both preorders and back in stock alerts. See [Get help from STOQ](https://help.stoqapp.com/general/get-help-from-stoq/) for the other ways to reach the team.

## Check your setup

1. Open a storefront page that has the surface, for example a collection page with Quick Buy, or a product page with the sticky bar.
2. Use an out-of-stock variant that's on preorder, or one with Notify me enabled.
3. Confirm the **Preorder** or **Notify me** button shows inside the Quick Buy popup, featured section, or sticky bar, not just on the main product form.

## Troubleshooting

### The Request setup link isn't there

It only appears on a paid plan. Upgrade, then reopen the button design controls.

### The checkbox is stuck on Requested

The team is still building the integration for your theme. You'll get an email and a chat message when it's ready, then the checkbox turns active.

### The button shows on the main form but not the sticky bar

The sticky bar is a separate form that has to be set up on its own. Contact support to add it, since there's no self-serve checkbox for sticky bars.

### The button stopped showing after a theme change

These placements are matched to your theme's structure. If you switch themes or a theme update changes the surface, contact support so the team can re-point the button.

## FAQ

### Can I set up a sticky add-to-cart bar myself?

No. Quick Buy popups and home featured sections have a Request setup link you can use, but sticky bars and other custom forms are configured by the STOQ team for your specific theme.

### Does this work for both preorders and back in stock alerts?

Yes. The same placement shows the Preorder button for preorder variants and the Notify me button for out-of-stock variants.

### Does it cost extra?

There's no separate charge, but these placements are a paid-plan feature, so you need a paid STOQ plan to request them.

### Do I need theme code changes?

No. STOQ maps the button to the surface for you; you don't edit theme code yourself.
