Cart settings
These settings control how the cart behaves across the whole store: whether it opens as a drawer or a dedicated page, what appears at checkout, and what customers need to agree to before they can buy.
Cart type
The Cart type setting decides whether adding a product opens a slide-out drawer or takes the customer to a full cart page. This single setting controls the behavior everywhere on the store, so you don't need to configure it separately for each product or collection.
All cart settings
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Cart type | Chooses between a drawer that slides out over the page, or a dedicated cart page the customer is taken to. |
| Show cart notes | Adds a text field to the cart where customers can leave a note for their order. |
| Enable gift wrap | Turns on the gift wrap option in the cart, letting customers add the gift wrap product to their order. |
| Gift wrap product | Selects which product in your catalog is added to the cart when a customer chooses gift wrap. |
| Show free shipping bar | Displays a progress bar in the cart showing how much more a customer needs to spend to qualify for free shipping. |
| Free shipping threshold | Sets the order amount, in your store's currency, needed to reach free shipping and fill the progress bar. |
| Terms & conditions checkbox | Controls whether a terms checkbox appears in the cart: hidden, optional, or required before checkout can proceed. |
| Terms & conditions text | The text shown next to the checkbox. Supports HTML, so you can link directly to your policy pages. |
Terms and conditions behavior
The terms checkbox has three states. Hidden removes it entirely, and checkout proceeds as normal. Optional shows the checkbox but doesn't block checkout if it's left unchecked. Required shows the checkbox and prevents the customer from checking out until it's ticked. If you enable required, make sure the terms text field links to an actual policy page so customers know what they're agreeing to.
Tip: If you enable the free shipping bar, set the threshold slightly above your average order value. This nudges customers toward adding one more item rather than showing a bar that's already full on most orders.
Where these settings show up
These theme settings control the underlying behavior, but the actual cart interface is rendered by two different parts of the theme depending on the cart type you choose. See Cart drawer for the slide-out version, or Cart page for the full-page version, to see how these settings appear visually and what additional layout options each one offers.
