Amasty – Magento 2 Quick View Extension

Review of Quick View Magento 2 Extension for Better UI

Summary

Key takeaways

A Magento 2 Quick View extension adds a “Quick View” button per product so shoppers can preview details without opening the product page.
The goal is faster browsing and better UX: customers can view key info and add to cart directly from a popup.
The popup preview can include product details + customer reviews, helping shoppers decide faster.
Core features highlighted: product preview popup, Add to cart in the popup, and flexible button design for category and product pages.
UX pattern: on category pages, the button appears on hover and opens a compact modal with selected product info.
Availability in the article: Magento Open Source and Magento Commerce versions 2.1–2.3.
Pricing in the article: $149 for Magento Open Source and $449 for Adobe Commerce.

When this applies

Use Quick View when you have category/search pages where shoppers compare many items quickly (apparel, electronics, catalogs with many SKUs) and you want to reduce unnecessary PDP clicks while keeping “Add to cart” close to discovery.

When this does not apply

Avoid (or limit) Quick View if your products require a lot of configuration or deep specs before purchase, or if your theme already provides an equivalent fast-preview pattern. Also be careful if your catalog performance is already borderline—modals can add frontend load if implemented poorly.

Checklist

Identify where Quick View will be most valuable (category pages, search results, widgets).
Define the minimum content for the popup (images, key attributes, price, reviews, CTA).
Ensure the popup supports Add to cart and confirm what happens after add (stay, mini-cart, redirect).
Decide trigger behavior (hover vs click) and validate it works well on mobile (no hover).
Configure and style the “Quick View” button to match your theme (category + product pages if needed).
Confirm reviews rendering inside the modal (source, layout, lazy loading).
Test edge cases: out-of-stock, special price, grouped/bundle/configurable items.
Validate accessibility: focus trap, ESC close, keyboard navigation, readable contrast.
Measure impact: PDP view drop vs conversion lift, add-to-cart rate from listing pages.
Test performance on category pages with many products (modal assets, JS execution, image loading).
Confirm compatibility with your Magento edition/version (article lists 2.1–2.3 for Open Source/Commerce).
Verify extension pricing/licensing aligns with your edition (OS vs Adobe Commerce).
Roll out gradually (single category / store view) and compare analytics before site-wide enablement.
Document theme overrides/customizations so future updates don’t break the UI.
If Quick View doesn’t meet requirements, consider a custom extension with additional features.

Common pitfalls

Showing too much content in the popup (turns Quick View into a slow “mini-PDP” and hurts performance).
Hover-only interaction that fails on touch devices or feels glitchy on mobile.
Add-to-cart from the modal behaving inconsistently (no feedback, cart not updating, confusing UX).
Modals that aren’t accessible (keyboard traps, poor focus handling, hard to close).
Styling conflicts with the theme (button placement, popup spacing, z-index issues).
Not testing complex product types (configurable/bundle) where quick-buy may be impossible without options.
Enabling everywhere without measuring impact (Quick View can help browsing but doesn’t always improve conversion).
