Shopping cart in Online Store Customize Where is the shopping cart drawer

Store Design

Topic summary

A developer is trying to locate and customize the shopping cart drawer to integrate a custom Shopify app they’ve built.

Key Points:

  • The cart drawer visibility depends on the theme (e.g., Dawn supports it) and can be accessed via Online Store > Customize by clicking the cart icon.
  • Cart display type can be toggled between ‘Drawer’ and ‘Page’ in Theme Settings under ‘Cart Type’.
  • The developer confirmed their Cart Type is set to Drawer but couldn’t find customization options.

Solution Provided:

  • Apps typically cannot directly inject content into cart drawers unless specifically designed for that purpose.
  • The cart drawer code can be edited directly at: Online Store > Edit code > cart-drawer.liquid

Status: The technical location for customization has been identified, though app integration feasibility depends on the specific app architecture and theme compatibility.

The cart drawer is only available on certain themes, like Dawn. In the Online Store > Customize section, click on the cart icon or add an item to see it. If it’s not appearing, the theme might not support it or it might be set to show a cart page instead of a drawer. You can check under Theme Settings for a ‘Cart Type’ option.

It depends on the app and the theme, but in most cases, apps can’t directly inject content into the cart drawer unless they’re specifically designed to do so.
