Cart Drawer
In Shopify, a Cart Drawer is used to let customers view and manage their cart without leaving the current page.
Why We Use a Cart Drawer in Shopify
Improves Shopping Experience: The cart drawer slides in smoothly from the side, allowing customers to quickly view the products they’ve added — without reloading or navigating to the cart page.
Faster Checkout Process: Shoppers can adjust quantities, remove items, or go straight to checkout instantly, which helps reduce drop-offs.
Keeps Customers Engaged on the Page: Since the cart opens in a small drawer instead of redirecting to another page, customers stay focused on browsing and adding more items.
Increases Average Order Value (AOV): Many stores display upsell or cross-sell recommendations inside the cart drawer to encourage customers to add more products.
Provides Instant Feedback: When a customer adds an item, the drawer appears right away — confirming that their action was successful.
Mobile-Friendly Shopping: The drawer layout is responsive, providing a smooth experience for mobile users too.
