Woo Quick View

Two widgets work together to build Quick View: Woo Quick View (this one — the trigger button) and Woo Quick View Popup (the content shown inside the popup). Both are needed; this guide covers the full setup.

Requires WooCommerce. Requires Elementor Pro for the popup to actually open — without Elementor Pro, the quick-view button gracefully falls back to a normal link straight to the product page instead, so nothing is ever broken, it simply won't show a popup.

How it works, end to end

  1. You build a popup (an Elementor Pro popup content type) containing the Woo Quick View Popup widget.
  2. You place the Woo Quick View widget anywhere you like, and point it at that popup.
  3. The Quick View widget then automatically injects a quick-view button onto every product in your product loops (grids, carousels) sitewide — you don't need to manually add a button to each product card.

Setting it up

  1. Create the popup: in Elementor, create a new Popup (Templates → Popups → Add New in your Elementor library).
  2. Add the Woo Quick View Popup widget inside it — see Woo Quick View Popup for its settings. Size the popup itself using Elementor's own popup Width/Height settings.
  3. Publish the popup.
  4. Add the Woo Quick View widget anywhere on your site (a header, a single instance on any page — it doesn't need to be near your product grid, since it works by injecting buttons into loops sitewide once enabled).
  5. Turn on Enable Quick View, and select your popup under Quick View Popup.
  6. Save and check a shop or category page — quick-view buttons should now appear on your product cards.

Enable Quick ViewOffThe master switch — turns on automatic button injection into every product loop on your site. Nothing happens until this is on.
Quick View on Looped Add to CartOffFor variable products shown in a grid with a "Select options" link (common with Elementor Pro's Loop Grid), replaces that link with a quick-view button too — so shoppers can pick variations without leaving the grid.
Hide on MobileOffHides the quick-view button on smaller screens.
Quick View IconEye iconThe icon used for the button.
Quick View PopupWhich popup contains your Woo Quick View Popup widget — this is the link between the two widgets. Make sure to select an actual popup you've built with the Quick View Popup widget inside it — this dropdown lists all your Elementor templates, not only popups, so double check you've selected the right one.

Good to know

  • The button widget and the popup widget must both be set up for anything to happen — placing just one without the other has no visible effect.
  • Hovering over a quick-view button preloads the popup content in the background, so the popup opens close to instantly on click — this preloading only happens when your popup widget is set to its recommended "Dedicated" content mode (see Woo Quick View Popup).
  • Buttons keep appearing correctly even after a Woo Product Filter AJAX refresh swaps in new products — no extra setup needed if both widgets are on the same page.
