Cart drawer

Set up Cart drawer for a seamless shopping experience

Cart drawer (also known as the slide-out cart, or side cart) allows customers to view and manage their shopping cart without leaving the current page.

Overall, a cart drawer is useful for improving the user experience and increasing conversions to an online store. By giving an enhanced customer experience, you can reduce the cart abandonment rate of your store.

How to enable the cart drawer for your Shopify store

Steps:

1. From the theme editor (Customize), navigate to Theme settings > Cart.

2. Set the Cart type as Drawer.

3. Save the changes.

How to customize your cart drawer
