Quickbuy

Our Apps support the option to add a tile to your checkout and search menus under which you can store some frequently sold products to quickly add them to your orders.

Transition period

We are transitioning to a more user-friendly way of configuring QuickBuy across your various Apps, no longer relying on the direct use of API, but allowing you to configure QuickBuy in Admin Suite in its entirety.

During this transition period, there will be two ways of configuring it, depending on the App.

Interface​

Regardless of your choice of App, the Quickbuy options appears in the Order options of your checkout screen. Take the POS for example:

IPad Pro screen

It can also appear in search menu, in which case it appears in the top bar, next to Services.

Checkout App​

Our Checkout App can already make use of the new way of configuring a QuickBuy, which is done via the Admin Suite.

Doing so requires the following steps:

  1. The creation of a product set

You can create product sets, AKA product search templates, via its namesake chapter. These sets can later on be selected in your QuickBuy.

  1. Configuring QuickBuy/Product search template as a checkout option

The Checkout options chapter in Admin Suite allows you to create a QuickBuy tile.

Mind that you have to select the ProductSearchTemplate handler, as opposed to the QuickBuy handler (which is still used for configuring QuickBuy the old way). Selecting the former will add a dropdown where you can select your product set.

POS​

Configuring QuickBuy for the POS will for the time being happen the old way, requiring a few more steps.

  1. The creation of a product set

You can create product sets, AKA product search templates, via its namesake chapter. These sets can later on be selected in your QuickBuy.

  1. Creating a QuickBuy via API

Quickbuys (and product sets) can be created using the CreateQuickBuy service as mentioned in our QuickBuy services.

  1. Adding the tile

To add the QuickBuy as an order option tile in your checkout screen, you can either configure a QuickBuy handler in Admin Suite's Checkout options or configure it via API as described in our Checkout options Dev docs.

  1. (Optional) Quickbuy modal popup

The App setting App:Checkout:ShowQuickBuy can be used to specify if the Quickbuy modal has to pop up in POS without being clicked when entering the checkout page.

Checkout App

Technically, the old way still works for the Checkout App as well.
