The Quick View feature has become widespread in many online stores, aiming to allow customers to quickly see product details without having to open the main product page. But is it always beneficial? In some stores, it can reduce the add-to-cart rate and disrupt the customer journey. In this blog post, we'll explain when Quick View is a smart feature for your store and when it can become detrimental, especially in the Saudi market, which now places great emphasis on a seamless experience that reduces decision-making time.
⭐ 1 – What exactly is Quick View?
The Quick View feature allows customers to see:
– A quick image of the product
– Basic specifications
– The price
– An add-to-cart button
All from a pop-up window without having to navigate to the product page. Its purpose is to speed up browsing, especially if you have many products on a single page. However, it's not suitable for all types of products.
⭐ 2 – When is using Quick View excellent?
This feature is excellent if your store sells products that are:
– Clear at a glance
– Don't require lengthy explanations
– Like accessories, simple tools, and everyday essentials. Customers here often search quickly and want to add items without delving too deeply.
And the best part? Quick View reduces the "pressure on product pages" and makes customer movement within the site faster, which boosts conversions.
⭐ 3 – When does Quick View harm sales?
Quick View becomes a problem if:
– Your product requires a lot of detail
– You need to compare multiple options
– You need to read complete features and specifications
For example, appliances, heavy equipment, luxury perfumes, furniture…
Why?
Because the Quick View window can't display all the information, leaving the customer with "incomplete data," which makes them hesitate or leave without buying.
⭐ 4 – Quick View Can Reduce Product Page Visits
The product page is your most powerful sales page because it contains:
– High-resolution images
– Videos
– Reviews
– Specifications
– Price comparisons. However, if customers rely solely on Quick View, they might not visit the product page at all. This leads to:
– Reduced time spent on the site
– Decreased likelihood of adding items to the cart
– Difficulty building customer trust in the product, especially in Saudi Arabia… Customers prefer to see “everything clearly” before paying.
⭐ 5 – The Impact of Quick View on Medium and Large Stores
In stores with thousands of products, Quick View helps speed up browsing, but it also causes:
– Distraction
– Opening too many windows
– Lack of focus
Some customers, after the fourth Quick View, don't even know which product they were looking for, which reduces their purchase intention.
⭐ 6 – The best way to use Quick View without it harming you
Let Quick View only show the essential elements:
– Price
– Image
– Basic options
And add a clear button that says: “View full details”
This encourages customers to visit the product page if they are genuinely interested.
This way, you combine speed… and don't lose the power of the main product page.
⭐ 7 – Would you recommend it in Saudi Arabia?
Yes… but only if your products are simple and don't require lengthy descriptions.
The Saudi market prefers clarity and likes to see clear details before buying, especially if the product has multiple options or is priced above average.
So use Quick View cautiously… and not for all products.
The Quick View feature is excellent… but not for everyone. Some stores benefit from it because it simplifies the customer journey, while others lose some sales because it prevents customers from visiting the main product page. If you're going to implement it in your store, test it on a specific set of products and observe customer behavior before rolling it out. Ultimately, the goal is for the customer journey to be smooth, simple, and appropriate to the nature of your products.
