Rail cart

Choose a cart drawer or a cart page, add a free shipping progress bar, a gift note and a few upsells. This page explains each part and where it is set.

Drawer or page

Go to Theme settings > Cart > Cart type.

Drawer (default): the bag opens in a panel on the side, so shoppers stay on the product page. It opens automatically when something is added to the bag.
Page: adding a product, or choosing the bag icon, goes to the cart page.

Whichever you pick, the dedicated cart page always exists (for example from the link at the bottom of the drawer or from a bookmark).

Cart page sections

Choose Cart in the template picker. The page has two sections.

Cart items

Show free shipping bar default on: Shows the progress bar above the items. The amount is set in Theme settings > Cart.
Color scheme: Default Scheme 1.

Each line shows the product image, title, selected options, unit price where it applies, line price, any discount, a quantity control and a remove button. Changing a quantity refreshes all lines and totals.

Its default scheme is Scheme 2. It is made of blocks you can reorder.

Subtotal max 1: The subtotal, including cart-level discounts, plus a note about taxes and shipping. Setting: Show shipping row.
Cart note max 1: A note field. Turn the note on or off under Theme settings > Cart.
Checkout buttons max 1: The checkout button and, optionally, accelerated checkout buttons. Setting: Show accelerated checkout buttons (Shop Pay, PayPal and other wallets, based on your payment settings).
App: Blocks from apps.

Free shipping bar

Set Free shipping threshold in Theme settings > Cart to the order amount that earns free shipping, in your store currency. The bar shows the shopper how far they are and then switches to "Free shipping unlocked". Set it to 0 to hide the bar everywhere.

The bar is a display only

The theme cannot create a free shipping offer. The real shipping rates and free shipping conditions come from your Shopify shipping settings (Settings > Shipping and delivery) and are shown at checkout. Use the same amount in both places so what shoppers see matches what they pay. If you sell in other currencies, the bar converts the amount using Shopify's exchange rate for the shopper's market, so the converted figure can differ from the free shipping condition you set for that market.

Cart note

Turn on Enable cart note (on by default) to let shoppers add a gift message or delivery instructions, for example in the cart drawer or on the cart page. The note is saved with the order, and you will find it on the order page in the Shopify admin. Add a Cart note block to the cart footer if you removed it.

Upsell collection

Choose a collection under Theme settings > Cart > Upsell collection. In the cart drawer, products from it appear under Pairs well with, so shoppers can add small extras such as accessories or care products. Pick a collection of low-priced, low-effort products without many options. Leave it empty to hide the upsell area.

Tips

Taxes: when your prices include tax, the cart says so. This follows your Shopify tax settings.
Empty cart: a friendly empty bag message with a link back to shopping is shown automatically.
Discounts: automatic and code discounts appear on lines and in the totals when they apply. Discount codes are entered at checkout.
