The add-on enables bulk add-to-cart straight from a category view and keeps the category reference on the order line, so the admin panel and the storefront can show which category each quantity came from.
What it is for
The add-on is intended for stores that use the “Compact list” layout in the catalog. A customer selects several items and adds them to the cart in one action, without opening every product card.
The category data is not lost: it is stored together with the order, so the manager can see which categories the order was assembled from.
Key features
- an “Add selected to cart” bar in the compact product list;
- category-aware quantities in the cart, carried over into the order line details;
- a category breakdown in the cart and at checkout;
- compatibility with the convenient cart add-on when the corresponding overrides are present;
- fractional quantity support when a compatible add-on is used.
How it works
The add-on works with the compact product list layout. When the customer adds the selected items to the cart, the add-on stores the category identifier and the amount of each item. When the order is placed, this data is written to the order line details, so the admin order screen shows which categories the products were added from.
The add-on has no separate settings — it starts working right after installation. During installation the database schema is updated and a helper field is added to the order details.
