Turn on the Cart drawer app embed in your theme

The drawer runs from one app embed called Cart drawer. Click Enable cart drawer in theme, pick your live theme, then click Save in the theme editor. You don't edit theme code.

Before you start

You need Section Store Plus and a saved cart. Shopify only offers the embed while your store has Plus. The Quick Setup Guide card appears once you have a cart.

Turn it on

1. In Shopify admin, open Apps → Section Store → Cart Drawer.
2. In the Quick Setup Guide card, click Enable cart drawer in theme.
3. Pick your theme. The theme marked live is the one shoppers see. Shopify's theme editor opens with the embed switched on.
4. Click Save in the top-right corner. A hint in the theme editor points to the button until you save.
5. Go back to Cart Drawer. With your cart's switch on, the badge reads Live on your store.

To do it by hand, open the theme editor and go to App embeds. Turn on Cart drawer and click Save. No Cart drawer under App embeds? Start Plus, then reload the theme editor.

Good to know

• The embed has no settings in the theme editor. Every setting lives in the app.
• It loads on every page of that theme.
• The embed belongs to one theme. If you publish another theme, turn it on there too.
• Turning on the embed doesn't turn on a cart. The cart's own switch must be on too.

Warnings you may see

• Activate in theme: a yellow badge in the cart editor. The cart is on but the embed is off in your live theme. Click it to open the theme editor.
• Cart Drawer isn't enabled in your live theme: this window opens when you save a switched-on cart with the embed off. Rewards can still apply to orders, including free shipping. Click Save anyway to keep the cart on, or Save as inactive to turn it off.

If it doesn't work

• The embed isn't in the list: your store has no Plus, or Plus has ended. Start Plus, then reload the theme editor. See the article below.
• The badge still reads Not enabled in theme: click Save in the theme editor. The badge checks again when you return to the tab. Otherwise it can take up to 5 minutes.
• The badge reads Couldn't check theme: we couldn't read the theme. Open App embeds and check that Cart drawer is on.
