Question 1

Can I choose where the Batch call to action appears on my store?

Accepted Answer

If you're having issues getting the Batch button to appear please don't hesitate to chat with us below or email us at support@sellwithbatch.com.

Batch automatically inserts itself right next to your checkout button. But every website has its quirks, which is why we're happy to allow the Batch Manual Insertion so you can drop the Batch button anywhere on your site.

Simply place a button with an name of add and style=display:none wherever you want the button to appear – this works anywhere, including product pages!

<button name="add" style="display:none"></button>

Question 4

Can shoppers buy and make offers at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Batch does not want to take away any guaranteed full price sales. When a customer goes through the Batch flow they can select to buy your item at full price or put in an offer. For the products they select to buy at full price the order will appear in your orders just like a regular order. The products they put an offer on will appear in your Batch merchant dashboard under the products page.

You can see below how it appears for users that have selected to buy some products right away and to put an offer on some other ones.

Question 5

Why isn't the Batch button showing up in my store's shopping cart?

Accepted Answer

If you're having issues getting the Batch button to appear please don't hesitate to chat with us below or email us at support@sellwithbatch.com.

Our "Make Offer" button not showing up? Here are a few things to check.

Make sure all requirements are met

We don't have a lot of requirements to meet, and the ones we do have take no more than 5 minutes to complete. Make sure that:

Your storefront is enabled
Shopify Payments are enabled
You whitelisted your products

For more information and instructions on how to do this please check our What are the batch requirements article.

We couldn't find the checkout button

Although we do our best to automatically insert the "Make an Offer" button, due to theme differences we sometimes miss the mark. However, inserting the button manually takes about 5 minutes, and no programming experience is needed.

Simple place a div with an id of **batch-button-manual **wherever you want the button to appear - this works anywhere, including product pages! <div id="batch-button-manual"></div> For more detailed instructions see our Can I choose where the Batch call to action appears on my store.

You did all this and the button is still not appearing?

If the button is still not appearing please send us an email at support@sellwithbatch.com, or chat with us on

Question 6

Intelligent Order Grouping

Accepted Answer

We group offers in a smart way to save shipping fees for your customers.

In order to save shipping costs for your customers and keep them happy Batch applies an intelligent order grouping to open offers.

Offers that belong to the same order can benefit from the same shipping cost.

If you accept an offer from an order and then accept another, later from that same order. As long as an order is unfulfilled, any offers belonging to that order that are accepted will be attached properly to that order.

Here’s an example:

Order 1 comes through with an offer for products A, B and C

You accept the offer for product A

Customer is charged, including shipping, order becomes unfulfilled

You accept the offer for product B

Customer is refunded for product A and charged for products A and B, including any taxes and shipping specific to products A and B (a single shipping charge)

You accept the offer for product C

Customer is refunded for products A and B (incl. shipping and taxes) and charged for products A, B and C with a single shipping charge for the three products (per your shipping options) and the relevant tax rules for the three products.

This gives you some freedom and ensure customers who make several offers in a single order do not get penalized if you choose to accept all of those offers.
