Moving the add to cart up...

[EdHarrison]

In the product page on 2016 the price and add to cart are at the bottom of the page!

If your description is longer than a few lines these important things are below the page bottom, not ideal for any e commerce site!

Does anybody know if there is a way to move the price and add to cart tp the top on the right of the image where the product ref is located?

I tried support when I first upgraded to 2016 but was told it was not possible

thank you

In the Design Tree, you should be able to find the Add to Cart Button and Price layouts within the Product Page Body layout and move them somewhere nearer the top. Make sure you make a backup first.

On the other hand, having Add to Cart at the bottom may encourage customers to read an item's description before buying it!

I will have a play, according to articles on MOZ etc the call to action buttons and important purchase info should be prominent without scrolling to view, odd as 2016 is the first version I have had that places these things at the page bottom.

I just went to the designs, copied the basic responsive layout and then found the price variable and moved it. Working on a copy so if I messed it up I can got back to the original easily.

Thanks, I still have not managed it, it defies logic in the latest version to have the product title / product ref / product text then finally the all important call to action add to cart and price all the way down the very bottom of the page - requiring customers to scroll for the most important aspect of any e commerce site - to buy something and know what it costs!

Here is the section taken from SellerDecks guide to selling and producing good product pages on their current website!

Have A Clear Call To Action

The aim of a product page is to sell what’s on that page. In most cases, this means clicking on an add-to-cart button or a checkout button. For sophisticated and high price products the sale may involve encouraging them to call to discuss and place their order. Since this is the objective, these “calls to action” should be prominent on the page. I remain shocked at how difficult it is to find out how to add items to the cart and checkout on some sites.

Am I mad or are they advising a total contradiction of their own software?

Anyway, more to the point, support said it is not possible, can anyone recommend a developer to do this please, thanks - need more coffee!

Moving just the product description to the bottom shouldn't be that hard. Try this (I'm using a copy of Image On Left Text Wrapped Around for testiing):

Locate and delete the line:

		<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ProductDescriptionLength%22%20%2f%3e%20%3e%200" ><div class="product-text"><actinic:variable name="ProductDescription" /></div></actinic:block>

Near the bottom locate the line <!-- End of Product Details --> and above it put:

	<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ProductDescriptionLength%22%20%2f%3e%20%3e%200" ><br clear="all"><br><div class="product-text"><actinic:variable name="ProductDescription" /></div></actinic:block>

Note that this still places any Attributes, Choices, Prompts, etc., below the Cart button which isn't the best place for these as you'd expect the customer to have looked at these before hitting the Cart button. But that's how SD seems to want things to work.

Thanks Norman, first go placed product text below related products and also boughts, found a higher spot which is better but it no longer wraps but sits below image / add to cart / price, still tinkering...

It seems more involved, it works but in tablet sized view it chops the add to cart and shifts some bits under the image

Right.....It worked on line 145, it now wraps around to, I had to make the price show without all the extra inclusive VAT text that now is standard in 2016 - and shorten the add to cart.

I will try to get the soapbox review up there in that area to if possible, thanks again Norman, without you isolating the product text I was lost.

There is a new product layout in version 2016 "Customisable Product Layout".

I had overlooked that layout. Am now using it. It's not perfect but it's better. Many thanks.
