How to Enable the Cart Drawer in Shopify Broadcast Theme

Broadcast supports several cart behaviors, and switching between them is one setting — no code required.

Steps

1. In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes and click Customize on Broadcast.
2. Click Theme settings, then Cart.
3. Under Cart type, choose Drawer (slides out from the side), Page (a dedicated /cart page), or Notification (a small popup after adding an item).
4. Click Save.

Drawer is the most common choice, and it's worth knowing Broadcast's is genuinely feature-rich — free shipping messaging, a discount code field, gift notes, and upsell blocks can all live inside it, covered in their own articles below.
