Add-to-cart button in the initial HTML

How we measure it

We look for an add-to-cart signal in the product page’s initial HTML: a cart form, cart attributes or “Add to cart” text. Present passes, absent fails.

What the result page says

These are the sentences in the test result; “…” is replaced by what we found on your site.

• PassedAn add-to-cart button or form is in the initial HTML.
• PassedWith a real browser we found the button and added the product to the cart.
• FailedNo add-to-cart button was found in the initial HTML; it may be drawn entirely by JavaScript.

How to fix it

Target: Add to cart is a real <button> or form in the initial HTML.

Example code

<form action="/cart/add" method="post">
  <input type="hidden" name="id" value="SKU-001">
  <button type="submit">Add to cart</button>
</form>

Example values (example.com, product name, price) are placeholders; replace them with your own.

How to verify it yourself

View the source and look for the “Add to cart” button or a /cart form.

Fix it with an AI coding agent

Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor or another coding agent working on your store’s code. Review the change before you deploy it.

You are working on my online store. Specoria’s agent readiness test checks the item below. Fix it so AI shopping agents can read the store and act on it.

## 1. Add-to-cart button in the initial HTML (add_to_cart)
Target: Add to cart is a real <button> or form in the initial HTML.
Example fix (adapt it to this codebase and platform; example values are placeholders):
```
<form action="/cart/add" method="post">
  <input type="hidden" name="id" value="SKU-001">
  <button type="submit">Add to cart</button>
</form>
```

## Rules
- First look through the codebase and tell me which files or templates you will change, before editing anything.
- Change only what these checks need, and keep the visible page and the structured data saying the same thing.
- Never invent prices, stock, shipping or return terms, reviews or product identifiers (GTIN): take them from the store’s real data or ask me.
- Don’t block or slow down real visitors and don’t add tracking.
- After deploying, run the free test again at https://specoria.com/ to verify the fix.
