I have a shop GUI, its content in a srollview created with Scroll Rect and Mask combination and can be scrolled down and up.
Right now, the scroll view scrolls by clicking and dragging with the mouse anywhere in scroll view area, or by interacting with a vertical scrollbar.
How do I use custom up and down buttons (circled in red on attached image below) to make the scroll happen?
Copy the following script to your project and apply ScrollRectSnap script to your scroll view . Know if you have done this to make your scroll view snap on button click simply do the following link UpArrowPressed and DownArrowPressed with your up and down buttons and do not forget to check Snap In V parameter in inspector of ScrollRectSnap if you have vertical scrollview and also do not get confused by snapper.DraggedOnRight() call in your DownArrowPressed function as if you have checked Snap In V parameter it will then act like snap down and similler thing with snapper.DraggedOnLeft() other parameters you can set according to your requirment you will have to play with values in order to get it according to your requirments.
public void UpArrowPressed()
{
ScrollRectSnap snapper = GetComponentInChildren<ScrollRectSnap>();
snapper.DraggedOnLeft();
}

{
ScrollRectSnap snapper = GetComponentInChildren<ScrollRectSnap>();

}
