# Add an announcement to the cart drawer

> Show a short text band in the cart, like a delivery note or an offer.

Turn on the **Announcement** card in the cart editor and type your text. Shoppers see a band of text in the cart while it has items.

This is the **Announcement** block inside the cart drawer. It isn't an announcement bar section from the catalog, which shows on your pages.

## Set it up

1. In Shopify admin, open **Apps** → **Section Store** → **Cart Drawer**.
2. Click **Edit** on your cart.
3. Under **Body**, find the **Announcement** card. If it isn't there, click **Add block** and pick **Announcement**.
4. Turn on the card's switch. A block you just added is already on.
5. Click the card to open it.
6. Type your text. The default is "Limited-time offer: complete your order today."
7. Set the background, text color, text size and padding.
8. Drag the card to place it in the body.
9. Click **Save**.

## Good to know
