The shopping cart icon displays the number of items in a customer's cart and directs them to checkout. Here's how to customize it:

Version 7.1 Styling

  1. Click [Edit] in the upper left corner
  2. Hover over header and click [Edit Site Header]
  3. Click [Add Element]
  4. Toggle [Cart] on
  5. Click the cart icon then the pencil icon
  6. Choose your style:
    • Icon: Select cart, basket, or bag icon and set size
    • Text: Enter custom text (up to 10 characters)
    • Border: Choose shape and style (outline or solid)
  7. Toggle [Show "0" in Cart] to display zero items
  8. Click [Save]

Hiding the Cart Icon (Version 7.1)

  1. Click [Edit]
  2. Click [Edit Site Header]
  3. Click [Add Element]
  4. Toggle [Cart] off
  5. Click [Save]

Note: When hidden, the cart appears at bottom when items are added. Color can be changed in site styles under [Colors] > [Buttons].

Important Considerations:

  • Cart icons automatically appear when items are added
  • Some templates display permanent header icons
  • Express checkout disables cart display
  • Only hide cart with express checkout or subscription products
  • Template families like Brine, Farro, Tremont, and York offer additional styling options through site styles
