# Change the subtotal and checkout button in the cart drawer

> Edit the subtotal line and the checkout button's text, icon, colors and hover effect.

Open the **Subtotal** and **Checkout button** cards under **Footer** in the cart editor. Every cart has both, so you can't remove them. You can change their words and look.

## Change the subtotal

1. In Shopify admin, open **Apps** → **Section Store** → **Cart Drawer**.
2. Click **Edit** on your cart.
3. Under **Footer**, open **Subtotal**.
4. Set **Title**. The default is "Subtotal". The code icon adds **Items count** or **Cart total**.
5. Set **Subtitle**, for a line such as a note on taxes.
6. Tick **Show compare-at price** to show the price before savings, crossed out. It is on by default.
7. Click **Save**.

The amount is the cart total after Shopify's discounts. Shipping comes later, at checkout.

## Change the checkout button

1. In Shopify admin, open **Apps** → **Section Store** → **Cart Drawer**.
2. Click **Edit** on your cart.
3. Under **Footer**, open **Checkout button**.
4. Set **Text**. The default is "Checkout • {{cart_total}}". The code icon adds **Items count** or **Cart total**.
5. Click **Change icon**. Pick one of nine, such as **Arrow right**, **Lock** and **Bag**, or upload your own. Then click **Done**.
6. Set the colors and **Text size**.
7. Set **Hover effect**: **None**, **Lift**, **Scale** or **Shine + lift**.
8. Click **Save**.

## How the button works

- It reads the cart fresh, then sends the shopper to Shopify checkout.
- It is disabled while the cart is loading or saving.
- Codes applied in the drawer are already on the cart.

## What it can't do

- It can't add a terms checkbox. A developer can block checkout with the `onBeforeCheckout` hook.
- The drawer doesn't run inside Shopify checkout.
