What it is
When a shopper adds a product, the Aftersell Cart opens as a drawer over your storefront. You design that drawer in the cart editor from a set of blocks (the product list, a checkout button, upsells, rewards, banners, and more) and style it with global and per-block design settings.Requirements
- A Shopify store with the Aftersell app installed.
- The Aftersell Cart app embed enabled in your theme, so a published cart renders on your storefront.
Key concepts
- Carts: a cart is one complete drawer experience. See how carts work, and only one is live at a time.
- Blocks: the building pieces of a cart. See how blocks work.
- Design settings: global and per-block styling, plus custom CSS.
- Tests: A/B test one cart against another and read the analytics.
- SDK: extend the cart with JavaScript.
Getting started
- Create a cart. It starts from a working default layout.
- Add and arrange blocks to build the experience you want.
- Customize the look with design settings and, if needed, custom CSS.
- Preview it, then publish.
- Optionally, test variations and extend with the SDK.
