Other cart blocks ​

All of these are added in the theme editor: Cart drawer → Add block. Most also exist on the Cart page template. Each has a Show in setting: Top (under the title), Below the items or Footer (above checkout).

Discount code field ​

Lets shoppers enter a code in the cart. Applied codes show as chips with a remove button.

  • Hide behind a "Have a discount code?" link: on by default, which keeps the cart tidy. Turn it off to show the field all the time.

On the cart page, it's a checkbox in the Cart section: Discount code field.

Total savings ​

A line like "You're saving $18.00", adding up sale prices and discounts.

  • Text: the label, for example You're saving.

The drawer also has Show total savings above subtotal and Show savings per item in its own settings (click Cart drawer, then scroll to Items and totals).

Order note ​

A text box shoppers can use for a gift message or delivery instructions. The note appears on the order in your admin.

  • Label and Placeholder.

Terms checkbox ​

"I agree to the terms of service and refund policy". Shoppers can't go to checkout until it's ticked.

  • Text: you can add links. Create your policies first in Settings → Policies. The links are /policies/terms-of-service, /policies/refund-policy, /policies/privacy-policy and /policies/shipping-policy.

The checkbox blocks the cart's Check out button. Express checkout buttons (Shop Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal) skip it, on the product page and on the cart page. If you must have every customer tick the box, turn off Show express checkout buttons in the Cart section and remove the Buy it now button from your product pages.

Countdown timer ​

"Check out within 09:42 to get today's offer".

  • Duration: minutes, counted from the moment the shopper first opens the cart in this visit.
  • Text: [time] becomes the countdown.
  • Text after it ends: shown at 00:00, for example Complete your order to secure your items.

Only for real deadlines

The timer doesn't end any offer by itself: prices don't change when it reaches zero. If nothing really expires, a countdown is fake urgency, which shoppers notice and which consumer-protection laws (EU, UK, US FTC) treat as misleading. Use it for real time-limited offers, or a neutral message such as "Items in your cart aren't reserved".

Trust badges ​

Up to three icons with short text, for example 30-day returns, Fast shipping, Expert support.

  • Layout: Horizontal or Vertical.
  • Icon + Text per badge.

Text, Image, Payment icons, Custom Liquid ​

  • Text: any short message, for example Free samples with every order.
  • Image: a banner, with an optional link.
  • Payment icons: the cards and wallets your store accepts, taken from your payment settings automatically.
  • Custom Liquid: for an app snippet or your own code.

Drawer appearance ​

Click Cart drawer for the drawer's own settings:

  • Color scheme, Drawer width (desktop), Full screen width on mobile.
  • Layout on phones: Compact (only the checkout button stays fixed, the rest scrolls; most room for the items) or Fixed (top and footer blocks stay in place).
  • Backgrounds for the title bar, top area and footer.
  • Empty cart: heading, text, button and a Suggested products collection.
