How To Fix Issue Cannot Add Add-on Products To Cart?
Why Issue Cannot Add Add-on Product To Cart Happens?
1st Scenario: Users Haven’t Enabled The Theme Helper for OneTick
The theme helper is crucial to make the checkbox work properly because OneTick’s JS codes only run when users turn on the theme helper.
2nd Scenario: The Add-on Product Is Sold Out
If the add-on product is sold out, the checkbox is still shown but customers cannot add them to cart.
3rd Scenario: The Default Add To Cart Button Is Overriden
The way OneTick works on your page is that the app would query the default ATC button to trigger the atc event of the add-on product. In some cases, users use 3rd-party apps that override their default ATC button, which results in the add-on product not being able to atc.
