Configure Shipping Protection and Gift Wrapping in Cart Drawer

Introduction

Want to offer customers a little something extra before they check out? With the Order Add-ons feature in Snap Cart Drawer, you can display optional services or products right inside the cart — like shipping protection, gift wrapping, or a complementary product from your store.

It's a great way to add value for your customers while increasing your average order value — all without disrupting the shopping experience. Let's get it set up!

Steps to Set Up Order Add-ons

Step 1: Open Snap Cart Drawer

From your Shopify Admin, go to Apps > Snap Cart Drawer, then click Edit on the cart you want to configure.

Step 2: Enable the Order Add-ons feature

In the cart editor, find Order add-ons in the left-hand menu under the Body section and toggle it ON.

Step 3: Configure your add-ons

Once enabled, the Order add-ons panel will appear on the right side with three built-in add-on types ready to configure. Toggle ON the ones you'd like to offer:

1. Shipping Protection Let customers opt in to protect their order against loss, theft, or damage during delivery.

• Title — Name shown to customers (e.g., "Shipping protection")
• Description — A short explanation (e.g., "Covers loss, theft, and damage during transit")
• Price — Choose how you'd like to charge:

  • Fixed price — One flat fee

    regardless of cart value (e.g., $5)

    

  • Tier price — Different prices based on cart total. Click + Add new pricing tier to set up multiple price ranges.

2. Gift Wrapping Give customers the option to have their order gift-wrapped before shipping.

• Title — e.g., "Gift wrapping"
• Description — e.g., "We'll wrap your order and include a handwritten note"
• Fixed Price — Set a flat fee for this service (e.g., $10)

3. Product Add-on Suggest a specific product from your store that customers can add to their cart with one click.

• Click + Select product to choose up to 3 products from your catalog.

Step 4: Customize the design (Optional)

Click the Design tab to adjust the appearance to match your store's branding:

• Title size & Title color
• Subtitle size & Subtitle color

Step 5: Save your changes

Once everything looks good, hit Save. Your add-ons will now appear live inside the cart drawer, ready for customers to select before checkout.

📝 Good to know

When you add Shipping Protection or Gift Wrapping, Snap Cart automatically creates them as real products in your Shopify Admin with the status set to Active — which means they may appear on your storefront.

To prevent this, go to Shopify Admin > Products, find the product (e.g., "Shipping Protection" or "Gift Wrapping"), and change its status to Unlisted. This way, the product is only accessible via a direct link and won't show up on your store for regular shoppers.
