Enabling and Troubleshooting Quote Creation from Teaser Pages with PrintIQ Integration

Overview

When a customer clicks the “Add to Basket” button on a category (teaser) page (i.e. not from the product landing page itself), the storefront can automatically create or update a quote for that product via the PrintIQ integration. This functionality ensures that the correct pricing is fetched from the MIS (PrintIQ), preventing any scenario where the product enters the basket at a $0.00 price.

Why It Matters

• Streamlined User Experience: Customers can bypass the product detail page for a quicker purchase flow.

• Accurate Pricing: Automatically pulling pricing details from PrintIQ ensures no manual updates or missed pricing rules.

• Improved Efficiency: Reduces cart abandonment caused by pricing inconsistencies or the extra step of loading the product page.

Use Cases

1. Quick Ordering Flow

   • Users who know their product requirements can skip the product detail page, quickly add items to the cart, and see the correct price without extra steps.

2. Standardized Product Attributes

   • Products that have default attributes or configurations often only need a quantity input, so bypassing the product page simplifies purchasing.

3. Bulk Ordering from Category Page

   • When a category page displays multiple products with an “Add to Basket” button, users can build a multi-item basket rapidly while ensuring each product’s price is accurately pulled from PrintIQ.

Step-by-Step Implementation Guide

1. Enable Price Handling on Teaser Pages

1. Go to Admin > Configuration > Settings > Integrations > Connect Settings

2. Locate the option “Price Handling on Teaser Pages”

3. Check or enable this setting to ensure pricing is fetched from PrintIQ when adding items from teaser pages.

2. Display Quantity Selector on Teaser Pages

1. Go to Admin > Configuration > Settings > Catalog Settings

2. Enable the “Show quantity selector on Product Teaser” option.

3. Save changes. This allows customers to specify their desired quantity before adding the product to the basket.

3. Integrate or Confirm PrintIQ Plugin Configuration

1. Confirm that your Connect: printIQ plugin is active.

2. Verify that the plugin is configured to handle quote-based pricing properly.

3. Ensure your credentials and settings for PrintIQ are correctly entered to avoid failed requests or incorrect price returns.

4. Content on the configuration of Connect: printIQ can be foud here.

4. Adjust the Creation of Quotes

1. Location: Admin > Configuration > Settings > Quote Settings

2. Setting Name: "Auto Create Quote"

3. Purpose: Determines whether the system automatically creates a quote if one does not already exist (or updates the existing one).

Summary

By properly configuring the Add to Basket action on teaser pages and ensuring that your PrintIQ plugin is integrated with auto-quote creation, you can maintain accurate, up-to-date pricing for items added directly from categories or the homepage. This setup not only speeds up the ordering process for your customers but also eliminates pricing errors that might lead to abandoned carts or manual price corrections later in the checkout flow.
