The cart drawer is rendered through a shared snippet rather than a section schema, so its behavior is primarily driven by global cart settings and cart state. It handles empty-cart messaging, item list rendering, subtotal areas, optional recommendations, and checkout actions in an overlay-style drawer. Because there is no regular section schema here, most customization comes from theme settings, cart content, and the supporting cart snippet structure. Cart Drawer overview

Key implementation notes

The cart drawer is rendered through a shared snippet, so there is no regular section settings panel for it.
Cart settings, line items, upsell logic, and customer cart state all influence the final drawer experience.
Test the empty state, a cart with multiple items, and the checkout action area before publishing changes that affect the drawer.

​
Best practices

  • Start with the structural settings first, then refine decorative styling after the layout feels settled.
  • Preview the section with realistic content length to catch spacing and wrapping issues early.
