Cart experience

A smooth slide-out cart for faster, easier ordering

Display cart contents in a panel that slides open from the side without leaving the menu page, keeping customers in the flow until they are ready to check out.

In the Starter plan v1.2

What it does

Sending customers to a separate cart page every time they add an item breaks their browsing flow and increases the chance they abandon the order. The Sliding Cart extension keeps customers on the menu page while giving them instant access to their cart contents in a smooth side panel.

The cart slides in from the edge of the screen when triggered, showing everything in the basket with the option to proceed to checkout when ready. It is visually unobtrusive when closed and immediately useful when opened, giving customers the information they need without disrupting their meal selection.
