Question 2

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

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 5

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 6

What stops someone from making very low offers?

Accepted Answer

Our goal at Batch is to help you as a Merchant to sell your products at the best price possible. Here is how we do it.

By default Batch will only allow users to make an offer that is at most 50% below your original price. This prevents you, as a Merchant, wasting time with offers that are way too low. The 50% is completely customizable and up to you to control.

To customize the discount percentage simply go to:

Your Shopify Admin
Batch
Settings
Set the discount percentage
