The purpose of this document is to provide you with instructions on how to disable your platform's default cart feature and enable Rebuy Smart Cart, which is a robust and adaptable cart solution.


Disable Your Current Cart Drawer

To get started, go to your Shopify Admin and find the "Online Store" section within the sales channel. Click on the "Themes" option, and then select the theme you want to customize. Once you have chosen your theme, click on the "Customize" button to begin making changes.

On the left-hand side of the customization screen, you will see a column with various options. Look for the "Theme Settings" option and click on it to access the settings for your chosen theme.

Within the "Theme Settings" section, look for the option labeled "Cart." It may also be titled as "Cart Drawer" or "Cart Page." Click on this option to access the settings related to your e-commerce store's shopping cart functionality.

Under the "Cart" section, you should see an option to set the "Cart Type." Select the "Page" option from the dropdown menu and then click on the "Save" button to confirm the changes. This will ensure that your e-commerce store's shopping cart functionality is displayed as a dedicated page rather than as a drawer or popup.
