Dropdown
When a customer adds an item to their cart, a cart dropdown opens from the top right of the screen. If it’s closed, clicking the cart icon in the header will reopen it.
On mobile, the cart dropdown expands to fill the entire screen when opened.
Enable additional checkout buttons to complete their purchase using an accelerated checkout method. Users complete their payment with the checkout method displayed on the button.
Cart recommendations allow you to choose a collection in Theme Settings > Cart that will appear in the cart dropdown, making it easy for customers to add additional items.
Enable the Order notes setting in Theme Settings > Cart to display a text box where customers can leave special instructions with their order.
Turn on the Enable terms and conditions checkbox in Theme Settings > Cart if you want customers to agree to your terms before checking out. You can also assign a page in the Terms and conditions page setting to link it within the terms text.

The number of products shown in this section can be adjusted in Theme settings > Product tiles > Recently viewed.
You can also add various sections directly to the cart page template by clicking the (+) Add section in the sidebar.
