Choosing and arranging your slots

Updated October 31, 2026 · 2 min read

The drawer is built from seven slots. You decide which ones appear and in what order from Side Cart → Slots.

The seven slots

This is what the Slots tab looks like with the default order — drag any row to reorder it, and use the tag on the right to see what can and cannot be changed.

Checkout & TotalsFixed

Fixed slots cannot be removed or reordered — Header always sits at the top and Checkout & Totals at the bottom; they are shown in the list only so you can see where the other slots sit. Cart Items can be reordered but never switched off. Optional slots can be freely reordered and toggled — the Cross-sell section is off by default until you configure a product source in the Cross-sell tab. The Progressive Discount row only appears when the Progressive Discount plugin is installed and active.

Reordering

Drag the slots in the Slots tab into the order that matches how your store sells, then click Save settings.

Turning a slot off

Use the toggle next to each optional slot and save. A slot that is off is skipped entirely when the drawer renders — it does not appear empty, it simply is not there.

Discounts and savings in the drawer

Whenever a cart line costs less than the product’s regular price — a sale price, a Smart Cross Sell bundle price or any other price change — Cart Items shows the regular price struck through above the current price and a green “Save …” line with the difference. Free gift lines are fixed: they have no quantity stepper or remove button.

Checkout & Totals lists the Subtotal, a row for each coupon and cart fee, and the Total. When at least one line is discounted, a “You save … on this order” line under the Total adds everything up: the line savings plus any coupons and discounts. Shipping and taxes are calculated at checkout.
