Updated November 4, 2026

In the Preview card, click Empty cart. Then open the Empty cart card under Body. New carts show three best sellers and a Browse products button. You can change the title, the products and the button.

Change it

In Shopify admin, open Apps → Section Store → Cart Drawer.
Click Edit on your cart.
Under Preview, open the Preview card.
Click Empty cart. The cards change to the empty view.
Under Body, open the Empty cart card.
Set Title and Subtitle.
Turn Show best-selling products on or off. Set Best-selling products title.
Tick Show continue shopping button. Set Button text and Button link.
To add an icon, click Change icon. Pick one of five bag and cart icons, or upload your own, then click Done.
Click Save.

Best sellers

We show 3 of your best-selling products that are in stock.
Your title shows above them. The default is "You might like".
They appear as a list with an add button.

Show your own products

In Shopify admin, open Apps → Section Store → Cart Drawer.
Click Edit on your cart.
Under Body, open the Products upsell card. Its switch must be on.
Set Recommend by to Manual rules.
Click Add rule.
Set When cart contains to No products (Empty cart).
Under Recommend these products, pick your products.
Click Save.

Your rule replaces the best sellers.

The continue button

The button opens Button link, /collections/all by default. It doesn't close the drawer.

Add your own code

Add a Custom HTML block in the empty cart. Set Placement: Top of cart, After title, Bottom of cart, Above button or Below button.

If it doesn't work

Your edits don't show: check that the Preview card is on Empty cart.
No best sellers show: your store has no best-selling products in stock in that market yet.
The rule doesn't show: the Products upsell switch is off, or Recommend by is on AI recommendations.
