Add shipping protection or an order addon to the cart

An Order addon is a switch in the cart that adds one product, like shipping protection or gift wrap. Create the product in Shopify first. Then add an Order addon block, pick the product and click Save.

This is the Order addon block inside the cart drawer. It isn't the Addons conversion block or an add-on section from the catalog.

Before you start

Create the product in Shopify. We don't create it for you. It must be active and available on your online store.

Set it up

1. In Shopify admin, open Apps → Section Store → Cart Drawer.
2. Click Edit on your cart.
3. Under Footer, find the Order addon card. For another addon, click Add block and pick Order addon.
4. Click the card to open it.
5. Click No product selected. Shopify's product picker opens.
6. Pick your product and one variant. If you tick more than one, we use the first.
7. Set Title and Subtitle. Your pick replaced the default title, "Shipping protection", with the product's name. It also cleared the default subtitle.
8. The block now uses the product's image. To change it, click Replace image and pick Shield check, Gift or a custom image.
9. Turn on the card's switch. A card you just added is already on.
10. Click Save.
11. Add a product on your storefront. The switch shows in the cart footer with its price.

How it works

• Flipping the switch on adds the product, quantity 1.
• Flipping it off removes the product.
• The price is the product's price in the shopper's market.
• The addon shows as its switch, not in the product list.
• When the cart empties, we remove the addon.
• At checkout it is a normal line on the order.

Should it count toward rewards?

Include in reward threshold is off by default. While it is off, the addon doesn't count toward the reward bar, and the order discount skips it. Tick it to count the addon.

What it can't do

• The switch always starts off. Shoppers turn it on. It can't start on by default.
• The price is fixed. It can't be a percentage of the cart.
• It adds one unit of one variant.

You can add as many addons as you like.

If it doesn't work

• Saving fails with "Please select a product": the switch is on with no product. Pick one.
• Shoppers see "Order upsell product is not configured": the block lost its product. Pick it again.
• The switch flips back with an error: the product is sold out or isn't available on your online store.
