Turn on your cart drawer

Customers see your cart only when two things are on. Turn on the cart's switch in Section Store. Then turn on the Cart drawer app embed in your live theme and click Save there. When both are on, the Quick setup guide badge reads Live on your store.

Before you start

You need Section Store Plus. Without it, the switch opens a window to start Plus.

Turn it on

1. In Shopify admin, open Apps → Section Store → Cart Drawer.
2. In the cart list, turn on the switch next to your cart. The status changes to Active. Any other live cart becomes Draft.
3. Click Enable cart drawer in theme, then pick your live theme. Shopify's theme editor opens in a new tab with the embed switched on.
4. Click Save in the top-right corner of the theme editor. Shoppers can't see the cart until you do.
5. Go back to Cart Drawer. The Quick setup guide badge reads Live on your store. It checks again when you return to the tab. Otherwise it can take up to 5 minutes.
6. Open your storefront and add a product. The drawer slides in.

You can also use the switch in the cart's editor. There, click Save after you turn it on.

Names to look for

• Theme editor: the embed is called Cart drawer, under App embeds.
• Cart list: the status reads Active when the cart's switch is on, and Draft when it's off.
• Quick setup guide card: the badge reads Live on your store when the cart and the embed are both on.

What the badge means

• Live on your store: the cart and the embed are both on.
• Not enabled in theme: the embed is off in your live theme. This shows whether or not the cart is on.
• Disabled in app: the embed is on, but the cart's switch is off.
• Couldn't check theme: we couldn't read your theme. Check it in the theme editor under App embeds.

One click from the store audit or AI Pages

On Plus, trial or paying, you get a Turn on cart drawer button in two places: the cart drawer fix on your store audit, and Next · sell more per order when an AI Pages build finishes. It does this for you:

• It keeps a cart that is already on.
• Or it turns on your most recent cart.
• Or it builds a new cart in your store's look, with product upsells on and the reward bar off.

You still click Save in the theme editor. If another app's cart drawer is on, the step stops and asks you to turn that app off first.

If it doesn't work

• You made a cart but customers don't see it: check that the status reads Active. Then check that Cart drawer is on in your live theme and that you clicked Save in the theme editor.
• The switch opens a Plus window: start Plus from that window. We switch on the cart for you.
• The badge reads Not enabled in theme: you turned on the embed but didn't click Save, or you picked a theme that isn't live.
• The drawer doesn't open on the storefront: follow the checks in the article below.
