What does the cart drawer do?
The cart drawer slides out when a shopper adds a product or clicks the cart icon. You build it from these blocks.
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Reward bar | Shows progress to free shipping, an order discount or a free gift. Each tier unlocks by cart total or item count. |
| Free gifts | The gift drops into the cart when the shopper reaches the tier. It leaves if the cart falls below. Shoppers pick a variant when the gift has several. |
| Discounts at checkout | Section Store's own Shopify Function applies the rewards as one automatic discount. It is set to combine with order, product and shipping discounts. |
| Product upsells | Recommends products by your rules, such as "when the cart holds X, show Y". Or it shows Shopify's related and complementary recommendations. |
| Order add-on | One product the shopper switches on, like shipping protection. |
| Trust badges | Icons for shipping, returns and secure payment. "Use my store's facts" fills them from your store. |
| Payment icons | Preset icons, your store's own payment methods or icons you upload. |
| More blocks | Announcement, discount code field, discount total, order note and custom HTML. |
| Empty cart | Shows your best sellers and a continue shopping button. |
| Markets | Reward thresholds convert to the shopper's currency. You can set your own threshold per market. |
| Languages | Cart text ships in English and 30 more languages. New carts start in your store's language. |
| Look | New carts start in your store's colors. Pick from 31 templates and six color presets, or add custom CSS. |
| Your theme | It replaces your theme's cart drawer. Horizon, Turbo, Prestige, Symmetry, Flux and Concept get their own adapters. It closes other carts that open beside it. |
| A/B tests | Test up to four versions of your cart. The app picks a winner on revenue per visitor. |
| AI help | The Cart Assistant changes copy, style and upsells from a chat in the editor. You can also build a cart from a screenshot. |
