**Orbit Cart Drawer** is a slide-in cart experience designed to replace Shopify’s default cart page and allow customers to review and complete their orders without leaving the current page. When a product is added to the cart, the drawer opens smoothly, creating a seamless and modern shopping flow.

The Cart Drawer focuses on improving **conversion rate** and **Average Order Value (AOV)** by displaying interactive elements directly inside the cart, such as complementary product recommendations, free shipping progress bar, countdown timer, discount code field, cart notes, gift wrapping, and payment information.

All cart drawer blocks can be **enabled, disabled, reordered, and customized** directly from the app. The feature is fully compatible with Shopify OS 2.0 and most popular themes. Installation is fast and does not require any code changes, allowing merchants to get started in just a few minutes.
