Quick Cart
Quick Cartis the fast path from “I know what I need” to “it’s in the basket and going to checkout.” No catalogue browsing, no product pages — just SKUs, quantities, and a one-click handoff to Shopify checkout.
When to use it
Pick Quick Cart when:
- You already have a parts list (from a spec, an old quote, a customer email)
- You want to order right now, not later
- You’re replenishing van stock and just need quantities
If the customer is still deciding and needs to see a price first, use Quick Quote instead.
Add SKUs
- Go to /quick-cart.
- Use the catalogue picker on the right to find a SKU, or type it directly into a new line. SKU matching is case-insensitive — type how you remember it.
- Set the quantity. The line subtotal updates as you go. Add as many lines as you need.
- Review the running cart subtotal at the bottom — all ex VAT.
Push to checkout
When you’re ready, click Send to cart. This builds a Shopify cart containing every Quick Cart line and redirects you to the Shopify checkout page. From there it’s standard Shopify flow: shipping address, payment, confirmation.
FireAgent doesn’t hold payment details — Shopify does. The order is logged in your Shopify customer account and emailed in the usual way.
Switching to a quote mid-cart
Halfway through a Quick Cart and realised the customer wants a quote instead? Copy the SKUs and quantities into Quick Quote — same shape, same catalogue picker, but the output is a quote PDF and email rather than a checkout session.
If something goes wrong
- SKU not found — the catalogue picker has autocomplete; the SKU may have a different spelling. Try a partial search by product name.
- Line item shows a different price than you expected — prices come from the live catalogue, not the screen on which they were last quoted. If a customer is expecting an old price, use Quick Quote and override the line price.
- Checkout fails at Shopify— that’s a Shopify-side issue (often a card declined, or shipping not configured for the postcode). Shopify will give a specific error; it’s typically self-explanatory.
