Floating Cart Button (Sticky Cart)

The Floating Cart Button (also called Sticky Cart) is a button that stays on the screen while your customer scrolls. When they tap it, it opens your cart drawer.

This page only covers the floating cart button settings (enable, position, icon, badge, and device visibility).

Enable the floating cart button

In the app dashboard, open the editor for the Floating Cart Button / Sticky Cart. Switch Enable Floating Cart Button to On. Click Save in the editor. If you don’t want the button to show on your store yet, keep it enabled but set it to show on mobile only while you test. That way fewer customers see it.

Choose the button position

Use the Position setting to choose where the button sits on the screen. Most stores use a bottom corner so it doesn’t cover important page content.

  • Bottom right (common choice)
  • Bottom left
  • Left side or right side (if your theme has a lot of content at the bottom)
After you change position, check a few pages (home page, product page, cart page). Make sure the button does not cover chat widgets, cookie banners, or important buttons like “Add to cart.”

Pick an icon style

The icon helps customers understand the button is for the cart. In Icon style, choose the look you want.

  • Bag icon (popular for fashion)
  • Cart icon (classic for most stores)
  • Simple / outline vs filled styles (depends on your store design)
Match the icon style to your theme. If your theme uses thin outline icons, use an outline cart icon so everything looks consistent.

Style the badge counter

The badge counter is the small number on the button that shows how many items are in the cart.

What you can customize

  • Show/Hide badge: Turn the counter on or off.
  • Badge color: Background color of the circle/pill.
  • Text color: Color of the number.
  • Size: Make the badge smaller or larger.
  • Position: Where the badge sits on the icon (for example, top-right).

Recommended badge styles

  • High contrast: A bright badge with white text is easy to see.
  • Brand color: Use your main brand color for a clean look.
  • Readable size: Big enough to read on mobile, not so big that it feels distracting.
The badge updates automatically when customers add or remove items, so they always see the current cart count.

Set device visibility (desktop, mobile, tablet)

Use Device visibility to control where the floating cart button appears:

  • Desktop
  • Tablet
  • Mobile
In Device visibility, turn on the devices where you want the button to show. Preview your store on each device size to confirm the button looks right and does not block important content. Click Save. If your theme already has a cart icon in the header on desktop, you can show the floating cart button on mobile only to keep desktop clean.

Quick checklist

  • The button is enabled.
  • The position does not cover chat, cookie banners, or “Add to cart.”
  • The icon style matches your theme.
  • The badge is easy to read (good contrast and size).
  • Desktop / tablet / mobile visibility is set the way you want.
  • Make sure Enable Floating Cart Button is turned on.
  • Check Device visibility. You may have disabled the device you are testing on.
  • If you are viewing your store inside the theme editor, also test in a normal browser tab to confirm.
If your cart drawer is not showing at all, see the troubleshooting page about the cart drawer not opening (covered elsewhere in this documentation plan).

Most stores show the item count (how many items are in the cart). This helps customers quickly see if they already added something.

Show a small message when an item is added to cart, so customers get instant feedback. Add a fixed add-to-cart bar on product pages to reduce scrolling and improve conversions.
