Why your Cart Page is probably killing your sales. Slide out carts for the win.

70% of online shoppers abandon their carts—like getting to the checkout and deciding it's just not worth the hassle.

Let's face it: traditional Shopify cart pages are hurting your conversion rate more than you might realize. Forced page reloads, unexpected shipping costs, and unclear checkout processes lead customers straight into frustration—and away from finalizing their purchase.

In fact, Baymard Institute’s research found that 69% (nice.) of shoppers abandon carts specifically due to friction points such as unexpected costs, complicated checkout procedures, and unclear next steps. That's lost revenue, pure and simple.

Why Slideout Carts Matter

Slideout carts significantly reduce friction by keeping the shopping experience smooth, consistent, and intuitive. Instead of navigating away from the product page, customers see a sidebar appear with their cart details clearly visible and editable, maintaining context and allowing for immediate adjustments without disruption.

According to Baymard Institute, minimizing checkout friction can improve conversions by up to 35%. Slideout carts directly tackle friction points by:

  • Eliminating unnecessary page loads.

  • Clearly showing the total price, including shipping, reducing cart abandonment due to hidden costs.

  • Streamlining the checkout process with clear steps and minimal clicks.
