Components for cart functionality including the drawer, item display, and checkout.

Cart button

Open the cart drawer and show the current item count. Typically placed in your site header.

Properties

How it works

Canvas: Shows the button with a static count (or "0") for layout purposes.

Live site: Subscribes to the TGC cart state. Count updates in real-time when items are added or removed.

Basic usage

1. Drag Cart button into your header or navbar

2. Enable Show count to display the badge

3. Connect Cart target to your Cart modal section

When clicked, the button opens the cart drawer/modal.

Count badge

The badge shows the total number of items in the cart (not unique products).

Custom icon

Use the Icon slot to replace the default cart icon with your own:

1. Select the Cart button

2. In the layers panel, find the Icon slot

3. Replace with any Framer component or SVG

Styling

Cart list

Container for cart items inside the cart drawer. Repeats the Cart item template for each product.

Properties

How it works

Canvas: Shows placeholder items for layout purposes.

Live site: Subscribes to the TGC cart state. Renders one Cart item for each product in the cart. Updates automatically when items are added, removed, or quantities change.

Basic usage

1. Inside your cart modal/drawer, drag in Cart list

2. The Item template slot contains a Cart item component

3. Customise the Cart item's layout and styling

4. Design the Empty state for when the cart has no items

Empty state

The empty state appears when the cart has no items. Design it to:

• Inform the customer the cart is empty

• Encourage them to continue shopping

• Optionally include a link back to your shop page

Example: "Your cart is empty. [Continue shopping]"

Scrolling behaviour

For carts with many items, wrap the Cart list in a scrollable container:

1. Set a max-height on the Cart list container

2. Set overflow to "scroll" or "auto"

3. The list scrolls while header/footer (subtotal, checkout) stay fixed

Styling

Cart item

Individual item display within the cart list. Shows product image, title, variant, price, and quantity controls.

Properties

How it works

Canvas: Shows placeholder data for layout purposes.

Live site: Receives item data from the parent Cart list. Displays real product info and handles quantity updates and removal.

Basic usage

Cart item is used inside Cart list as the item template. You don't drag it separately — it's already included.

To customise:

1. Select the Cart list component

2. In the layers panel, expand to find the Cart item template

3. Rearrange and style the elements

Displayed information

Quantity controls

When enabled, the +/- buttons allow customers to adjust quantity without leaving the cart:

• - decreases quantity by 1 (minimum 1)

• Hitting 0 removes the item (or use the remove button)

Remove button

The remove button deletes the item from the cart entirely. Consider styling it as:

• A small "×" icon

Basic usage

1. Inside your cart modal/drawer, drag Checkout button below the Subtotal

Checkout flow

When the customer clicks Checkout:

3. Swell creates a checkout session

4. Customer is redirected to Swell's hosted checkout

6. Swell handles order confirmation and redirect

Why hosted checkout?

Swell's hosted checkout handles:

• PCI compliance for payment processing

• Shipping calculations

• Tax calculations

• Discount/coupon codes

• Order creation and confirmation

This means you don't need to build checkout forms or handle sensitive payment data.

Customising checkout

The hosted checkout uses Swell's default styling. For brand consistency, you can customise checkout in your Swell dashboard under Settings → Checkout.
