What Slide does

Core features

Customize to match your brand

Colors, text, and layout — tailor the cart drawer to fit your storefront without touching Liquid.

Free shipping progress bar

Encourage larger orders. The bar automatically updates as customers add items to their cart.

Discount code & gift note

Add an optional discount input field and let customers include a gift message with a configurable character limit.

Terms before checkout

Add your terms text and link. Optionally require customers to accept terms before checking out.

Multiple cart designs

Create and manage many carts — keep one Active at a time. Only one Active cart is live at once.

Adding the block to your theme

Theme editor

Open Theme Editor

In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes → Customize.

Add the "Halo Cart Drawer" block

Use the Theme Editor to add the "Halo Cart Drawer" block to your desired template or layout.

Save and publish

Save and publish your theme changes. Once your cart is active and added to your theme, customers will see it on your store.

Cart configuration

All options

Cart name & status

Label your design for easy recognition. Set Status to Active or Inactive — only one Active cart at a time.

Customize background, text, buttons, borders, and shipping bar colors throughout the cart.

Set a cart title and an empty-cart message shown when there are no items in the cart.

Threshold amount

Set a target amount (e.g., $50). The bar fills and messages update as customers add items until the target is reached.

Threshold messages

Set a "Before" message shown until the threshold is reached, and an "After" message shown once the threshold is reached.

Show an input field and customize the button and labels. Customers can apply discount codes directly in the cart.

Let customers add a gift message. Set a character limit to control message length.

Terms & checkbox

Add your terms text and link. Optionally require a checkbox before customers can proceed to checkout.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I have more than one active cart at a time?

No. You can create many carts but only one cart can be Active at a time.

My cart doesn't appear on the storefront. What do I do?

Make sure you added the "Halo Cart Drawer" block in your Theme Editor. Ensure your cart status is Active in the app. Save and publish your theme. If it still doesn't appear, confirm the block is added to the correct layout.

Can I customize the cart colors?

Yes. You can customize colors throughout the cart. Fonts follow your theme's styles.

How does the free shipping bar work?

Set a target amount. As customers add items, the bar fills and messages update until the target is reached.

Can I add a discount input field?

Yes. Enable the discount input and customize the labels and button text.

Is the terms checkbox required?

No. It's optional. If enabled, you can make it mandatory before checkout.
