There are multiple product tags that can be added to products in your store that relate to the Smart Cart. You will add these directly within the products themselves to allow them to take effect.

  • smart-cart-hidden

  • smart-cart-hide-qty

  • smart-cart-shipping-excluded

  • smart-cart-hide-bundle-options

To add or remove any of these tags on a product follow the documentation by Shopify, Follow step #1

smart-cart-hidden

Items with this product tag are NOT displayed as line items in the Smart Cart and their quantities are not included in the item count. Although, their line totals ARE included in the cart subtotal.

smart-cart-hide-qty

This will hide the quantity selector for any items containing this tag.

smart-cart-shipping-excluded

Items with this product tag are visually displayed as line items in the cart and the item count is included. But, the subtotal does NOT count toward unlocking Tiered Progress Bar tiers. Neither free shipping or the product tiers.

NOTE: The “smart-cart-shipping-excluded” tag will only work for Free Shipping and Free Product tiers, not for Order Discount tiers. An Order Discount will always apply to the order once the subtotal threshold is reached, even if the tagged product isn’t visually impacting the Tiered Progress Bar.


For example, if a store offers a promotion where customers receive free shipping at $50, a free product at $100, and an order discount of 10% at $150:

  • If the “smart-cart-shipping-excluded” tag is applied to certain products, these products won’t count toward the progress bar for free shipping or the free product tier. Therefore, if a customer adds an excluded item and their cart reaches $100, the Tiered Progress Bar will not show the free shipping or free product reward being triggered because the excluded product isn't being factored in.

  • However, when the customer adds enough products to the cart to reach $150, the order discount of 10% will automatically apply to the total, regardless of the "smart-cart-shipping-excluded" tag. The excluded product won’t stop the discount from being triggered once the subtotal threshold is met.

smart-cart-hide-bundle-options

Used for Shopify Bundles only. Will hide the bundle dropdown in Smart Cart for the associated item (recommended if the bundle item is a prebuilt bundle with no variants).
