What is the Cart Add-On App?
The Cart Add-On is a customizable toggle within Rebuy's Smart Cart. It enables merchants to offer optional services—such as gift wrapping, express shipping, or shipping protection—directly in the cart. Customers can easily opt-in by toggling the service on or off.
Note: Due to Shopify's policies, apps must display costs and obtain explicit buyer consent before adding optional paid items. Therefore, the Cart Add-On cannot auto-add products to the cart.
Do You Require Shipping Protection Services?
Please be advised that Rebuy does not offer inherent shipping protection or product insurance. You may choose to use an alternative shipping protection application with an integrated Rebuy technology partner, such as Route.
This application functions as a convenient toggle switch for upsell options, specifically for applications that are not currently directly integrated with Rebuy's Smart Cart.
