Turn on the cart in your theme

Switch on the Cart Drawer app embed so your store shows the new cart instead of your theme's own.

The cart runs through an app embed called Cart Drawer. While it is off, shoppers see your theme's cart, and the app keeps its rewards paused at checkout so nothing is given away that the cart did not show.

Turn on the app embed

  1. On Cart settings, open Turn on the cart in your theme in the Setup guide and select Open theme editor. The Not in theme badge at the top of the page opens it too.

The embed has no settings of its own. Everything about the cart is set in the app, on Cart settings.

If you turned it on in another theme

The app checks the theme your shoppers see. If you turn the embed on in a theme you have not published yet, Cart settings says Your cart is set up on a draft theme, and shoppers get the new cart once you publish that theme.

While the cart is only on a draft, its rewards still work at checkout for carts the new cart has drawn, so you can place test orders from the draft theme. Shoppers on your live theme are not given any of them until you publish.

Turn it off

To go back to your theme's cart, turn off Cart Drawer in App embeds and select Save. Cart settings then shows Your cart is not on your live theme, and the app pauses its automatic discount at checkout until you turn the embed on again.
