If you're experiencing issues with the quantity value not changing when adding a product to the cart in your Webflow + Snipcart e-commerce site, there are a few possible causes and solutions to consider:

  1. Incorrect implementation of Snipcart's data-item-quantity attribute:
  • Make sure you have properly included the data-item-quantity attribute in your add to cart button or input field. This attribute should be bound to a variable or value that represents the quantity of the product being added.
  • Verify that the value you are binding to the data-item-quantity attribute is correctly being passed to Snipcart upon adding the product to the cart.
  1. Javascript conflicts or errors:
  • Check your browser console for any Javascript errors that may be interfering with the update of the quantity value.
  • Ensure that there are no conflicts between any custom Javascript code you have written and the Snipcart library. Sometimes, conflicts can prevent the correct function of the Snipcart cart update functionality.
  1. Variable scoping issues:
  • If you are using JavaScript variables to update the quantity value, double-check that the variable scope is correct and accessible when the add to cart action is triggered.
  • Verify that the variable holding the quantity value is properly updated before passing it to the Snipcart API.
  1. Insufficient refresh or page reload:
  • In some cases, you may need to refresh the page or manually update any quantity-related UI elements to reflect the updated quantity value in the cart.
  1. Snipcart configuration issues:
  • Ensure that you have configured your Snipcart account and product settings correctly. Double-check the product settings and any quantity-related settings to make sure they align with your desired behavior.
  • Review the Snipcart documentation or reach out to their support team for specific guidance or troubleshooting steps related to the quantity value not updating.

By reviewing each of these potential causes, you should be able to identify and resolve the issue with the quantity value not changing when adding a product to the cart in your Webflow + Snipcart e-commerce site.
