Per-Product Quick Shop Blocker
The Opportunity
An app that lets merchants disable Quick Shop or Quick Add only for selected products, variants, or collections. It preserves storewide quick-view functionality while preventing customers from bypassing shipping or purchase restrictions on specific items.
"Merchants can disable add-to-cart on certain product pages, but customers may still purchase those items through Quick Shop from collection or search pages."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Provide product-level and collection-level controls to hide, disable, or replace Quick Shop buttons for restricted items using theme app blocks, automated theme detection, and selective DOM/script rules.
Target Audience
Shopify merchants selling non-shippable, restricted, custom-order, or quote-only products
Competitive Landscape
Some theme-specific settings, Locksmith, Disable Right Click-style restriction apps, and general theme customization apps; few focused on per-product quick shop suppression.
Implementation Notes
Build a Shopify app that injects theme app blocks or script tags to conditionally hide quick shop triggers based on product tags, template, vendor, collection, or metafields. Add support for common themes, variant-aware rules, and a safe fallback that disables quick actions only on matching product cards, quick views, and search result tiles.
