Open on Add to Cart

Control whether the cart drawer opens automatically when an item is added

Updated this week

Overview

This setting determines whether customers will immediately see the Upcart drawer after clicking "Add to Cart."
โ€‹

Where to Find It

Go to:
โ€‹Upcart > Editor > Settings > Cart Settings
Look for the checkbox labeled โ€œOpen cart drawer on add to cart.โ€

How It Works

Unchecked (Default Behavior, Sticky Footer Enabled)

  • The footer stays pinned to the bottom of the cart.

  • The checkout button is always visible, even when scrolling through a long list of items.

  • Ideal for improving conversion and reducing friction.

Checked (Sticky Footer Disabled)

  • The footer scrolls with the cart.

  • If there are many items, the checkout button may move off-screen.

  • Useful for stores with very tall or scroll-heavy layouts.

Best Practice

We recommend keeping the sticky footer enabled so the checkout button remains easily accessible at all times. However, feel free to test both modes to find what works best for your design.
