If you're experiencing issues with default options and adding products to the cart on your Webflow ecommerce site, there are a few potential reasons for this. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the issue:

  1. Check your product configuration: Make sure that you have properly set up the default options for your products. In Webflow, you can define default options such as size, color, or any other attribute specific to your products. Double-check that the default options are correctly selected and that there are no conflicts with other settings or custom code.

  2. Verify your cart settings: Ensure that the minimum and maximum quantities, stock limits, and other cart related settings are properly configured. It's possible that a misconfiguration in these settings is preventing products from being added to the cart.

  3. Test different browsers and devices: Sometimes, issues with adding products to the cart can be browser or device-specific. Test your website on different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.) and devices (desktop, mobile, tablet) to see if the problem persists. If the issue is present on only one browser or device, it could indicate a compatibility issue that may require further troubleshooting or support from Webflow.

  4. Clear your cache and cookies: Clearing your browser's cache and cookies can often resolve issues with website functionality. This will ensure that your browser isn't using outdated or corrupted data that could be causing problems.

  5. Check for conflicts with custom code: If you have added any custom code to your Webflow site, particularly JavaScript that interacts with the cart functionality, there could be conflicts that are causing issues. Temporarily remove any custom code related to the cart and test if the problem persists. If the issue is resolved, you'll need to review and update your custom code to ensure it works correctly with the cart functionality.

  6. Reach out to Webflow support: If you have tried all the above steps and are still experiencing issues with default options and adding products to the cart, it's recommended to contact Webflow's support team. They will be able to investigate the issue further and provide you with specific guidance or solutions to resolve the problem.

Remember, troubleshooting ecommerce functionality issues can sometimes be complex, and it can be helpful to have a developer or Webflow expert assist you if you're unable to resolve the problem on your own.
