# Introduction to Quick View

### Why it exists

Shoppers browsing a category often open product after product just to check the price, the colors or the sizes, then go back. Each round trip is a chance to leave. On mobile it is slower still.

Quick View opens the product in a popup on top of the list, with its images, price and options, so the customer can add it to the cart and keep browsing.

### How it works

1. A **Quick view** button is added to every product card: on shop, category, tag and search pages, related products and product shortcodes.
2. Clicking it opens a **popup** with the images, price, variations and product add-on fields, and an **Add to cart** button.
3. Add to cart stays on the page and refreshes the mini cart. A **View full details** button links to the product page.
4. **Nothing of the popup is loaded with the page.** It loads when the button is clicked, or when the mouse is over it on computers, so product lists stay fast.

Quick View is **off by default.** Switch it on in **cPOD Kit → Modules**.
