Where do I add CSS in my Legacy Smart Cart Code?

You can directly add custom CSS code to your Legacy Smart Cart through the Rebuy Smart Cart settings for further customization. Follow these steps to place your CSS code:

  1. Go to the Rebuy Dashboard.

  2. Click on Smart Cart in the side navigation.

  3. Create or select the Smart Cart you wish to edit.

From here, you can add your custom CSS to modify the appearance and behavior of your Legacy Smart Cart to better suit your store's needs.

Before making any changes, it's recommended to create a duplicate copy of your Live Smart Cart to test on first! You can view the changes in your Smart Cart copy using Rebuy Preview Mode

This tab provides the designated area where you can input and apply your custom CSS code for fine-tuning the appearance and functionality of your Smart Cart.


CSS Styling Tips for the Legacy Smart Cart

*Important Terms

Selectors: This is what you're styling. .rebuy-cart__checkout-button { } is the selector. This specifies the element you're targeting for styling changes, with curly brackets following the selector used to enclose the CSS properties.

For example .rebuy-cart__checkout-button { } means you're targeting the Checkout Button
element.

Properties: These are the styling changes you're making to the element's selector. Properties get placed between { } background: is a styling property. You'll then give the property a value. background: #fff changes the button color by using a color hex.

Comment code: Comments are enclosed in /* and */ in CSS. This is used to add notes or explanations. Comment code does not run as code. They're helpful for reminding yourself or informing others about what a specific part of the code is for.


Style the Checkout Button, Subtotal Text, and Price in Legacy Smart Cart

The Checkout Button, along with the Subtotal, are crucial elements in the Legacy Smart Cart. By default, these elements may appear in a standard color. Customizing their appearance can help them stand out, encouraging customers to proceed with their purchase and improving the overall shopping experience.

In most cases you can make changes to the styling of your Smart Cart by updating your Rebuy Theme Settings. This allows you to customize the look and feel of your cart to match your brand and website design.

The Before and After images showcased below illustrate the transformation from the default green to a customized appearance. With code, you can modify the Color, Button Border, Roundness, and Font. Also incorporate a Button Hover Effect.

These changes enhance the button's prominence and ensure it aligns seamlessly with your website's overall theme!
