Changelog
New features, improvements, and fixes in EliteCart
- New
Checkout Add-on
Read moreOffer a one-tap add-on right on Shopify Checkout - a compact card with a checkbox shoppers tick to add the product before paying. For example, priority handling on the shipping step, gift wrap on the order summary, or an extended warranty on a big-ticket order.
- Improved
Mobile-friendly admin + Built for Shopify polish
Read moreEvery EliteCart admin page now works on a phone - Cart Designer, Analytics, Plan, Start & schedule, Checkout modules - plus a polish pass against Shopify's Built for Shopify quality bar. For example, you can configure a Checkout Upsell from the Shopify mobile app without falling back to your laptop.
- New
Checkout Reward Bar (Beta)
Read moreYour shipping and reward progress bar now follows shoppers into Shopify Checkout - same Rewards V2 setup, same gift unlocking, no rebuild. For example, a shopper who is almost at the free-shipping threshold sees the progress on the checkout page instead of having to bounce back to the cart.
- New
B2B customer reward condition
Read moreShow or hide any cart reward based on Shopify's native B2B signal - run wholesale-only gifts or DTC-only sales without tagging a single customer.
- New
Checkout Upsells
Read morePlace product-recommendation blocks anywhere inside Shopify Checkout - order summary, information step, shipping step - powered by your existing flows, EliteAI Ultra, or a hybrid of both.
- New
Collection-scoped reward thresholds
Read moreTie a reward to spend inside a single collection instead of the whole cart - for example, free shipping after $75 of Jackets.
- New
EliteCart now available in German
Read moreThe full admin and storefront are now available in German, carefully localized by a native speaker.
- New
Advanced discount rewards
Read moreA new discount reward type with collection targeting, subscription exclusion, per-reward conditions, and scheduling - EliteCart configures the Shopify discount for you.
- Improved
Flexible rewards system
Read moreA complete overhaul of the reward bar: up to 20 rewards with per-reward scheduling, conditions, and hidden gift promotions.
- New
Low inventory notice
Read moreShow a low-stock alert on cart items and upsell products once inventory drops to a threshold you set - for example, "Only 3 left!" with a customizable message, color, and placement.
- New
Product reviews in cart
Read moreShow star ratings and review counts directly on cart items and upsell products.
- New
Per-flow promotional pricing
Read moreSet a percentage discount directly on an individual upsell flow, with visible strikethrough pricing on the product card, per-product overrides, and a custom promotion title - run a 20% off bundle on one flow without touching your global discount rules.
- Improved
Upsell discounts now have two types
Read moreUpsell discounts now come in two types - Promotional, a percentage with visible strikethrough on the product card, and Advanced, with fixed or percentage amounts plus collection targeting and buy-x-get-y; the higher discount always wins when both could apply.
- Improved
Countdown timers persist across pages
Read moreAnnouncement-banner countdown timers now keep counting as shoppers move between pages instead of restarting on every navigation - and when a timer hits zero its line, or the whole banner if that is all it held, hides automatically.
- New
Upsell source tracking
Read moreAnalytics now attributes every upsell conversion to where it happened - cart drawer, two-step cart, or product page - with per-source revenue, units, and average value in the dashboard.
- Improved
Full Smart Collection support for upsell triggers
Read moreEvery Shopify Smart Collection rule type now works as an upsell trigger, including metafield, product-category, inventory, and price conditions - collections that previously couldn't be used as triggers now work without any workaround.
- New
Skip upsells already in the cart
Read moreTurn on a per-flow toggle to automatically hide an upsell flow when any of its products are already in the cart - no more recommending the blue shoes a shopper just added.
- New
Subscription upgrades in the cart
Read moreShoppers can convert a one-time item to a subscription right in the cart drawer with a Subscribe & Save button showing the maximum saving, then switch frequency from a dropdown - capturing subscription revenue at peak intent.
- New
Gift eligibility enforced at checkout
Read moreA checkout-time validation now blocks orders that no longer qualify for their free gift, on every Shopify plan rather than Plus only - gifts, add-ons, and gift cards are excluded from the threshold, with localized error messages in nine languages.
- New
Automatic gift pricing for Shopify Plus
Read moreShopify Plus stores can turn any catalog product into a free gift without maintaining a duplicate - a Cart Transform function zeroes the gift's price in the cart and restores it if the shopper changes the quantity, so the same product still sells normally.
- New
Rich text formatting
Read moreCart text fields - upsell headlines, shipping messages, banner copy, add-on titles, and more - now support bold, italic, underline, custom font sizes, and a theme-aware color picker through a visual editor.
- New
Gift Health Assessment
Read moreAn automated Gift Health Checker validates each gift across six checkpoints - availability, free pricing, product type, search visibility, compare-at price, and collection membership - and offers one-click fixes for the common misconfigurations.
- New
Country-specific add-on visibility
Read moreProfessional plan stores can now show or hide each cart add-on by customer country - keep shipping insurance or gift wrapping out of markets where it causes customs problems, while still offering it everywhere else.
- New
SwitchThemes integration
Read moreEliteCart now works out of the box with every SwitchThemes theme - Baseline, Exhibit, Shapes, and Cascade - including instant header cart-count updates, set up with a single line in Cart Designer.
- New
Strikethrough on the cart total
Read moreWhen a cart- or product-level discount is active, the original total now shows crossed out next to the discounted total, including inside the "show total in checkout button" option - making the savings obvious before checkout.
- New
Unit price display
Read moreThe cart drawer now shows unit pricing automatically for EU and Swiss compliance - for example, €23.41/kg - with zero setup when products already carry unit-price data in Shopify.
- New
Gift product protection
Read moreCustomers can no longer add gift products to the cart on their own or open their product pages, so a free gift can't be claimed without meeting the reward - with a customizable message shown when a blocked add is attempted.
- Improved
Instant cart opening and loading indicators
Read moreThe cart drawer now opens instantly on Add to Cart with a shimmering skeleton instead of waiting for Shopify to confirm, and a spinner appears in the checkout button during updates - the cart feels immediate even on slow connections.
- New
Schedule settings
Read moreAutomatically show or hide add-ons and announcement banners by day of week, time window, and date range, with full timezone and daylight-saving handling - ideal for same-day-shipping cutoffs and weekend delivery notices.
- New
Product savings display
Read moreItems with a compare-at price can now show how much the customer saves, inline with the price or on its own row - for example, a "Save $20.00" badge that reassures shoppers right at the point of purchase.
- New
Shipping insurance add-on
Read moreOffer percentage-based shipping insurance that automatically scales its price with the cart total, picking the matching price point as the cart changes - for example, 3% of the order value, with optional exclusion of gift cards and digital products.
- New
Smart image display
Read moreEliteCart analyzes your catalog on install to pick a consistent cart image aspect ratio and holds it everywhere, eliminating layout shift - or choose a preset ratio and fit mode yourself.
- New
Discount code field in the cart drawer
Read moreShoppers can apply discount codes right in the cart drawer instead of waiting until checkout, with live validation and an instant cart update - an email coupon now works before the customer ever leaves the cart.
- Improved
More reward bar display options
Read moreThe reward bar gains new display controls - always show reward icons even for a single reward, swap in custom images, use larger image sizes, and add vertical separators between rewards - all working with every reward type.
- New
Two-step cart
Read moreAdd a confirmation step between Add to Cart and the full cart drawer to confirm the add and surface complementary products - shown as a drawer or modal, fully customizable in copy, colors, and component order.
