Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureCartStar replaces your theme's cart with a slide-out drawer: recommendations, a progress bar toward free shipping, free gift, and discounts. Gifts run on a Shopify Function, so nobody reaches the threshold by adding the gift itself. After checkout, one more offer can charge the same card, so what a shopper accepts joins the order they just placed.
Normalize Slide Cart Drawer replaces your theme's native cart with a slide cart drawer you design in a visual editor. No theme code required. Drag in a free shipping bar, recommended products, a discount code field, cart notes, promo banners, and custom HTML. Settings load inline with the theme, so the cart drawer opens instantly, styled independently, and works as a side cart or mini cart on mobile.
- Slide-out cart drawer that replaces your theme cart, or works alongside it
- Progress bar toward free shipping, gift or a percentage off
- Product recommendations drawn from what your customers buy together
- Post-purchase upsell that adds to the order a shopper has already paid for
- Create and manage multiple cart templates
- Publish draft or live templates by store
- Drag-and-drop cart component ordering
- Configure colors, spacing, and typography
