  4. Integrate with Your Site: Paste the copied script into your Squarespace site’s code injection section. Save your changes, and preview the customized cart drawer on your site.

Notable Properties

  • position: You can set the drawer to appear on the left or right side of the screen using the position property. This allows you to align the drawer with your site’s design and user experience preferences.

position: 'right' // options: 'right', 'left'
  • effect: Choose how the drawer appears with the effect property. Options include a sliding or fading effect, providing a smooth and engaging user experience.

effect: 'slide' // options: 'slide', 'fade'
  • restrictShowOnUpdateUrls: property lets you define a comma-separated list of URLs where the cart drawer should be restricted from appearing automatically upon cart updates.

In this example, the cart drawer will not automatically appear on the /landings and /promotions pages even if the cart is updated.

restrictShowOnUpdateUrls: '/landings, /promotions',
  • The checkoutButton settings are a vital part of the Custom Cart Slide Out Plugin, residing in the Checkout group of the Editor. These settings allow you to customize the appearance and text of the checkout button in the cart drawer, ensuring it aligns with your website's design and branding.
