How to setup Essential Sticky Add to Cart

Sticky Add to Cart keeps the Add to Cart button visible as customers scroll through your product pages. This makes it easier for them to buy when they’re ready — and can increase conversions.

You can customize how it looks and works on both desktop and mobile. You can even show a countdown timer or announcement message for added urgency.

Setting up Sticky Add to Cart

When you first open the app, you'll see a simple 3-step setup guide:

1. Activate in your theme

   If the app isn’t already enabled, you’ll be prompted to activate it in your theme settings.

2. Click Customize

   This opens a preview window where you can adjust your sticky bar settings and see how they look on desktop or mobile.

3. Save and Activate

   Once you’re happy with the settings, save your changes and activate the bar.

Sticky Bar Settings

You can configure settings for both desktop and mobile. By default, desktop settings apply to both, but you can tweak mobile separately if needed.

Here’s what you can customize:

💡 General Behavior

• Show/hide the sticky bar on desktop, mobile, or both

• Show on sold-out products or not

• Choose what happens after clicking Add to Cart:
  • Stay on page
  • Go to cart
  • Go to checkout

• Decide when the bar appears:
  • Always visible
  • After scrolling past 'Add to cart'
  • When 'Add to cart' is out of view - will show the sticky cart before and after scrolling the add to cart button, when it's not visible. This setting makes sense for mobile since customers may need to scroll quite a bit from the top of the page to see the add to cart for the first time.

• Choose size:
  • Full width
  • Condensed (with adjustable width and offset) - this option works well when you have other floating elements on your online store.

Positioning & Layout

• Display at top or bottom of the page

• Add offsets to avoid overlapping with chat bubbles or app icons

  Template style:

  • Light, Dark, Solid, or Gradient background

    Customize:

  • Borders, shadows, and corner radius
  • Font type (theme font or custom)

Product Display Settings

Decide what product info appears in the sticky bar:

• Product image
• Name

• Price and compared-at price

  You can also:

• Adjust text size and colors
• Make product name bold

Variant & Quantity Selector

You can:

• Show or hide the variant and quantity selectors
• Customize font size, colors, borders, icons, and corner radius
• Apply different settings for mobile if needed

Button Settings

Customize the Add to Cart button:

• Edit text (use variables like product price)
• Change text and background colors
• Adjust size, border, and corner rounding
• Customize the “Sold Out” button separately
• For mobile, you can tweak the text size specifically

Announcement Bar & Countdown Timer

Enable a small announcement bar above the sticky cart.

You can:

• Add a message (emojis work!)

  Include a countdown timer for urgency:

  • Countdown to a specific date

  • Fixed duration for each buyer session

    Change labels and behavior when the timer ends:

  • Repeat
  • Hide
  • Show custom message

Mobile settings let you turn this bar on or off as well.

Display Settings

Choose where the sticky bar shows up:

• On all products
• Only on selected products or collections
• Exclude specific products or collections

• Feature a product on your homepage sticky cart

  (Great if you have a one-product store or a new release!)

Final Steps

Once you're done customizing:

• Click Save
• Click Preview to see it live
• Make sure it’s toggled ON in your theme

And that’s it — your sticky cart is live and ready to boost conversions!
