Designed to increase engagement, reduce abandoned carts and boost sales, making shopping smoother and more enjoyable than ever.

Key Benefits:

You can now build and manage multiple Cart Drawers from one place, so you can design, test, and schedule different cart experiences without losing your current setup. Only one Cart Drawer is Live on your storefront at a time, and all others are saved as Drafts.

Once you've created your first Cart Drawer, you can build and manage multiple Cart Drawers (up to 15 in total), so you can plan ahead and switch between cart experiences whenever you want. Your Cart Drawers live on the Slide Cart Drawer list page, split into two sections:

To create another cart drawer, follow the quick and easy steps below:

📝 You can have up to 15 Cart Drawers total. Once you reach 15, the Add New Cart button is disabled. Delete a Draft Cart Drawer to free up a slot.

The Cart Schedule feature lets you set a Draft Cart Drawer to go Live automatically at a specific date and time. It's ideal for planning Black Friday launches, seasonal promotions, or any time-sensitive campaign in advance, without needing to be online at the moment it goes live.

⚠️ Only Draft Cart Drawers can be scheduled. A Live Cart Drawer cannot be scheduled.

📝 The modal shows your store's time zone (for example, "Time zone: (GMT-05:00) US & Canada"), and the date and time fields default to the current date and time. Scheduling always uses your store's time zone.

Once scheduled, the Cart Drawer row shows a calendar icon and the scheduled date below the Cart Drawer name (for example, "Scheduled for: Apr 28, 7:33 AM").

📝 Scheduled Cart Drawers sort to the top of the Drafts section, ordered by their go-live date (soonest first). Unscheduled Drafts appear below them.

If a Cart Drawer already has a schedule, the ⋯ menu shows Reschedule instead of Schedule:

To remove a schedule entirely, click Unschedule in the modal. This returns the Cart Drawer to standard Draft status.

When the scheduled date and time arrive (in your store's time zone):
