Checkout

The Checkout page and its switches

The Checkout page links to your design and your install, and holds the switches for how the cart reaches your checkout.

How your checkout takes over

You paste one line of code into your theme yourself, and the Shopify page shows you the line and where it goes. From then on, Check out on your store opens your Sling page. We tick the confirmation when we can see the line on your storefront. If we cannot look, you confirm it by hand.

Design and brand

This card opens the checkout builder. It says Set up once you have published a design from the builder.

The switches

  • Skip cart and go straight to checkout: only if your theme or a bundles app skips the cart drawer. Our script then also catches add-to-cart clicks and checkout links. Changes reach your storefront within about 5 minutes.
  • Check out only the item just added: works only while skip cart is on. Anything else in the Shopify cart stays there and is not included.
  • Shoppers can remove items in checkout: each item gets a Remove link that asks once. The last item can never be removed.
  • Shoppers can remove order bumps: an accepted bump gets the same Remove link.
  • Show + tax next to the total before the address is entered: for stores that add tax on top. Elsewhere the switch is shown but cannot be changed.

All of these are off until you turn them on.

Minimum cart value

Enter an amount and the pay button stays closed until the cart reaches it. Shoppers can still open the checkout. Leave the field empty for no minimum. The article on adding the Sling script has what counts towards it.
