Summary
The cart drawer gives customers easy access to their cart on any page.
Tips
Some cart functionality can be controlled from global theme settings rather than clicking into the cart drawer. Be sure to review settings in Theme settings > Cart.
Use a progress bar to highlight offers like free shipping. This will encourage users to spend more to unlock a reward.
The cart discounts and subtotal will only be displayed if products have available discounts.
Use cart notes to collect customer feedback.
Use the cart share feature to enable customers to easily share their cart with others.
Use the upsell feature to promote common products that you want to sell.
The "Share your cart" URL can be used in direct email or SMS campaigns, as well as automation.
Use the cart block to highlight active promotions or campaigns you want to highlight.
Cart theme settings
Minimum order amount - Restrict your car below a certain subtotal:
Within your theme editor navigate to 'Theme settings'
Click 'Cart'
Select minimum order amount
Enter the value without a currency symbol or decimal point. E.g. $100.00 would be 10000. Leave blank to allow all orders without a minimum.
Cart drawer settings
Block settings
Announcement - A smaller banner at the top of the page. i.e. Let your customers know about your current promotions.
Featured upsell - Can be used to show featured products within your cart page. Click the 'Change' icon to select the products you would like to display
Checkbox upsell - Add a checkbox to let customers easily opt-in to upgrade their order.
Select your variant id from your https://admin.shopify.com/store/.
A checkbox upsell can be used to give customers an easy way to add a single product upgrade to their cart drawer. Once you set it up here's how it works:
Customers see a checkbox with your custom label in the cart. E.g. "Add 1 year limited warranty for $9.99"
When customers click the checkbox the cart drawer will refresh with the new product in their cart
When customers uncheck the checkbox the cart refreshes with the upsell product removed
Progress bar - Show a visual indication when customers receive a discount.
