Cart

The Cart is the location where items are stored before your customers finalise their purchase. These settings control how the cart behaves when customers interact with this feature.

The cart page shows a summary of all of the products that a customer has added to the cart, a subtotal and a total price for the order, and a Checkout button that directs customers to Shopify's secure checkout pages.

When no products have been added, the empty cart page shows a Continue shopping link that takes customers back to view your products. You can edit the settings and add new features to your store's cart page to suit the needs of your business in the following way;

Getting Started

Go to Online store → Themes → Customise

Then Theme settings → Cart

Here you will see the following configurations to customise your cart.

Free shipping bar

The free shipping cart appears towards the top of the cart drawer and cart page. This feature is intented to encourage vistors to add more items to their cart to benefit from free shpping on their order and calculates the remaining value remaning to qualify for free shipping.

How to configure the Free shipping message in the cart?

• First, tick Show free shipping bar to enable this feature, otherwise nothing will show in the cart drawer/page. By default, this will show.

• Update the text in the field Announcement text, but do not remove or change [value] as this changes dynamically when items are added to the cart.

Examples of Free shipping message

Spend [value] to get free shipping

Spend an extra [value] to qualify for free shipping

Just [value] to spend to get free shipping

Remember to NOT remove or change [value] as this is what calculates the remaining cart total to spend to get free shipping.

Cart threshold for free shipping

Now we can set the cart total required for the announcement text for free shipping to apply. This is controlled by a range slider with a minimum spend of 0 and a max spend of 400. By default, this is set to 250 meaning when a customer spends 250 or more, they will qualify for free shipping.

Announcement text for free shipping

You can now update the wording visible in the cart when the cart total is equal to or greater than the cart threshold. Currently this is set to;

You have qualified for free shipping

Show cart notes

You can toggle this checkbox to show an optional order notes form to collect extra infomation from customers in relation to their order.
