Cart upsell widgets – Design

Cart upsell widgets help you increase order value by showing recommended products directly in the cart. Customers can add extra items without leaving the cart.


🛠️ Where to find Cart upsell design settings

  1. Go to app > click Settings

  2. Click Design

  3. Click More views

  4. Choose one of the cart upsell options:

    • Cart Related

    • Cart Add on

    • Cart Inline Offer

    • Cart Recently viewed products

Each option is designed for a different cart experience, but they share similar design controls.


1) Choose a layout (Template)

The Template controls how upsell products appear inside the cart.

Available templates may include:

  • Vertical – stacked cards (best for carts)

  • List – compact rows

  • Carousel – horizontal scrolling (less common in carts)

Recommended for carts: Vertical or List, it is easy to scan and mobile-friendly.


2) Control size and quantity

Maximum width

Sets how wide the upsell widget can be.

  • Example: 1170 for full-width carts

  • Smaller values work well for drawer or sidebar carts

Number of products

Controls how many upsell products are shown.

  • Example: 3 → keeps the cart clean and focused

  • Too many products may overwhelm customers

Tip: 2–4 products usually perform best in carts.


3) Set widget placement (Position)

Depending on the cart upsell type, you may see placement options like:

  • Use app block in theme editor (recommended)

  • After a HTML element

  • Inline inside cart items

Inline cart offers

Some cart widgets provide a shortcode / HTML snippet.

Example:

  • Copy the provided snippet

  • Paste it into your cart file (e.g. cart-items.liquid)

  • This allows upsells to appear between cart items

⚠️ Only required for advanced or inline cart setups.


4) Choose visible elements

Decide what customers see for each upsell product:

  • Variant select

  • Sale label

  • Price

  • Add to cart button

Best practice for cart upsells:

  • Price

  • Add to cart button

  • Sale label (optional)

  • Variant select (optional, keeps cart simpler)


5) Style with colors

Use the Colors section to match your store design:

  • Heading & subheading

  • Product title

  • Price & old price

  • Sale label & background

  • Button text & background

Tip: Use the same button color as your main “Checkout” or “Add to cart” button for consistency.


6) Preview your cart upsell

The Preview panel shows how the upsell widget will look in the cart.

Use it to check:

  • spacing inside the cart

  • readability on smaller screens

  • button visibility

⚠️ Some cart types may show limited or no preview, this is normal. Always test in your real cart.
