To create multiple "Add to Cart" buttons for different product variants on a Webflow e-commerce site, you can follow these steps:

  1. Set up your product variants: In the Webflow Designer, navigate to your e-commerce CMS collection and add the necessary product variants. Each variant should have a unique name, price, and SKU.

  2. Design your product template: Create a custom product template where you want to display the "Add to Cart" buttons. Use the Webflow Designer to design the layout and style of the template. Make sure to include the necessary elements such as product images, variant selection dropdowns, and the "Add to Cart" button.

  3. Add variant selection dropdowns: In the product template, add a dropdown element for each product variant you want to display. Customize the dropdown options and use the variant name as the option value. This allows users to select the variant they want to add to their cart.

  4. Create interactions: To dynamically update the "Add to Cart" button based on the selected variant, you'll need to create interactions. Webflow's interactions feature allows you to define actions based on user input. Here's how you can set it up:

  • Select the variant selection dropdown element.

  • Go to the "Interactions" panel and create a new interaction.

  • Set the trigger to "Dropdown Change" and choose the corresponding variant dropdown.

  • Add an action to update the "Add to Cart" button text or link.

    For example, you can update the button link to include the selected variant's SKU as a parameter, making it unique to each variant. This ensures that when users click the "Add to Cart" button, the correct variant is added to their cart.

  1. Duplicate the product template: If you have multiple products with different variants, you can duplicate the product template you just created and update the content for each product. This allows you to have unique "Add to Cart" buttons for each product variant.

By following these steps, you can create multiple "Add to Cart" buttons for different product variants on your Webflow e-commerce site. This allows you to provide a seamless shopping experience for your customers, making it easy for them to select the desired variant and add it to their cart.
