back to top button

luisporras · ‎06-22-2022

Will Square implement a back to top button sometime in the future? I feel it's a necessity for sites that have super long pages. Call me lazy LOL but it's such a pain to have to scroll back up after going all the way down a page. Not having a standard back to top button when a lot of sites have them (I'm sure) make a lot of square users envious.

If anyone knows that this isn't going to be implemented in the future, does anyone know of a way to add it to a site? Like through the embed code or something? The thing is though that although we can add an embed code section to almost all pages, we can't add it to the shop page. People that have the option to show 120 products per page would be out of luck on this.

I have the sticky header option for my site so if I'm on the homepage and down at the bottom of my site, I could have two options to quickly move up to the top of the page - the home button on the header and the logo on the footer. Both of which don't work if I'm on the home page. Clicking them so that you move to the top of the page would at least be somewhat of a start.

Anyway, thank you for coming and reading through this wall of text if you made it this far.

Hi @luisporras,

Thanks for reaching out with this question!

I completely feel you and don't want to have to scroll all the way back to the top of the page. We don't have a feature like that yet for Square Online.

But a workaround that some sellers have used is add "Back to Top" text. Then link the text to the same page. This would essentially refresh the screen back to the top of the page. Please keep in mind this workaround may not be available if using Shop All for the store page.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

@MayaP

Thank you for replying. Yes, a back to top text would only work if your on the exact page as the designated link and not any other page. You said Square Online doesn't have this implemented YET, so is this a feature you guys are looking into? Anything that can give us an edge on our websites is good and would be a win for you in the website builder space.

Thanks for your patience @luisporras. I do not have an ETA on when this would be rolled out.

I did inquire with our Square Online Team, but was not provided any more insight. When this feature does roll out we will be sure to update this thread!

Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks again for the follow up.
