Multiple clicks required to go back from single product page

    In my woocommerce site if you press the add to cart button (from single product page) once you need to click the back button twice to go back to the shop page. If you click the add to cart button (from single product page) twice you need to click the back button thrice to go back to the shop back.

    Is there a fix for this? I want the user to be able to the back button once and end up in the previous page.
    Here is a screen capture of what I am talking about

  • Hi @fahim1040,

    When a product is added to the cart from the single product page, the page refreshes. That adds a second (or third) entry for that page in the browser’s history. That does mean that hitting back goes back to the same page. That’s technically the URL that was visited before the current page.

    One possible way around this is to use a plugin that allows products to be added to the cart via AJAX from the single product page. That way the page doesn’t refresh and the “back” button will return the user to the shop page.

    You might take a look at this plugin and see if it works for you.

    Is there a reason why ajax add to cart in single product page isn’t an existing option in woocommerce? Are there any recent plans to introduce ajax add to cart considering ajax is already used for adding products to cart from woocommerce archive pages? It seems like a pretty good UX experience upgrade for users

    I suspect that the AJAX add-to-cart could run into compatibility issues with other extensions. The request would need to be formatted to include the data for any extra add-ons or options that the product requires. On archive pages, only simple products can be added via AJAX.

    At least for now, it looks like they’ll leave the standard add-to-cart on single product pages and let anyone who wants to use AJAX add it via a plugin or theme.
