Find your way around the cart editor
The cart editor is where you build and change your cart. To open it, go to Adoric Cart in your Shopify admin and click your cart in the Carts list. Its title bar says "Cart Drawer."
The cart editor has 3 parts: the top bar, the left panel, and the live preview. Let's take a quick tour.
The top bar
- Cart name: The name of your cart. Click it to rename the cart.
- Cart status: The switch that turns your cart on or off for shoppers. The cart shows Active or Inactive.
- Create A/B test: Adds the variant tabs A, B, and + next to the cart name.
- Activate inspector: Turns on inspect mode. Click any part of the live preview to open its settings.
- Preview products: Chooses the products shown in the live preview.
- Translate: Opens Edit translations, where you edit your cart text in other languages.
- Market: Previews your cart for a Shopify Market. It starts on Shop default.
- Discard and Save: Appear when you have unsaved changes. Save keeps them. Discard removes them.
The left panel
At the top of the left panel, there are 2 tabs: Cart and Empty cart. Use the Cart tab for the cart with products in it. Use the Empty cart tab for the cart shoppers see when it's empty.
The Cart tab lists these sections:
- Style: The template, colors, fonts, layout, Build with AI, and Custom CSS.
- Settings: When, where, and on which devices your cart opens.
- Sticky cart: A floating cart button.
- Body: Header, Rewards, Announcement, Banner, Cart items, Product upsell, Side product upsell, and Trust badges.
- Footer: Shipping protection, Order notes, Discounts, Summary, Buttons, Accelerated checkout, and Payment icons.
- Add custom HTML: Adds a block with your own code.
Turn sections on or off
Most sections have a switch on the right. Turn it on to show the section in your cart, or turn it off to hide it. Header, Cart items, and Buttons have no switch, because they're always shown.
Click a section's name to open its settings. In Body and Footer, drag a section by its handle to change its place in the cart.
The live preview
The live preview on the right shows your cart as you build it. Every change appears right away.
In the live preview, the accelerated checkout buttons are placeholders. Shoppers see the payment methods turned on in your Shopify settings.Check the result
When you're happy with it, click Save in the top bar. To show the cart to shoppers, turn on the Cart status switch in the top bar, so the cart shows Active.
