Welcome to the Kaching Cart app – a simple yet powerful tool to build a high-converting, fully customizable cart experience for your Shopify store.
Follow this quick guide to get started in just a few minutes.
💡 Tip: On the app’s main page, you’ll also find a built-in Quick Setup Guide. It walks you through the essential activation steps like enabling the app block and opening the cart editor. You can follow that guide directly, or continue below for a more detailed walkthrough with extra customization tips.
1. Set Up and Enable Your Cart
To begin, go to the main page of the Kaching Cart app.
Here, you’ll find the key steps to get your cart live:
Click “Go to cart editor” to customize your cart’s look and features
In the cart editor, turn on the Cart app toggle at the top of the screen
This enables the cart drawer and prepares it for use on your storefront.
2. Customize Your Cart Drawer
After activation, stay in the cart editor page to fine-tune the experience:
🧩 General
Set the cart position, background, and styling preferences.
🧱 Top Bar
Customize the title and display the item count.
⏳ Timer (Optional)
Add urgency with a countdown like “Your cart will expire in 10 minutes”.
🎯 Promotions Progress Bar (Optional)
Encourage upsells by unlocking rewards based on cart value or item quantity.
🛒 Products in Cart
Control how products are shown – including quantity and variant selectors.
📦 Product Upsell (Optional)
Add discounted offers directly in the cart with custom layouts and styles.
✅ Trust Badges (Optional)
Reinforce security and trust with icons with text above the checkout button.
🧾 Footer
Toggle advanced options like discount code entry, order notes, shipping protection and other.
3. Check Cart Drawer Compatibility
Before activating Kaching Cart, it’s important to make sure no other cart drawer apps are enabled — having more than one can cause conflicts.
On the Kaching Cart home screen, click on Open theme settings button next to Cart drawer compatibility check.
This will take you to your Shopify App embeds settings.
Turn off any other cart apps, and make sure only Kaching Cart is enabled.
Then click Save.
4. Activate the Theme Extension
The cart drawer won’t appear on your live store until the app embed is active. If you have activated it already, then you can skip this step.
Back on the main app page, click “Activate theme extension”
You’ll be taken to Shopify’s theme settings — just enable the Kaching Cart app embed (if it’s not enabled already) and hit Save
Once done, your cart drawer is fully connected to your store.
5. Optional: Sticky Cart
Want to keep a mini cart visible at all times?
Open Kaching Cart app and enable the Sticky Cart from the left menu
Customize icon, shape, size, and colors
Click Save
That’s it! You’re Live.
Your cart is now active, configured and styled for your store.
