Changelog

Choose what each upsell flow does when one of its products is already in the cart - hide just that product (the default), show it anyway, or skip the whole flow. For example, keep offering a refill the shopper already bought, or skip a bundle flow the moment any of its items is added.

Limit when an upsell flow shows based on who the shopper is and where they came from, on top of the cart trigger - for example, a members-only flow for logged-in customers, a wholesale flow for B2B buyers, or an offer matched to a UTM campaign.

Set up and preview your two-step cart - the "added to cart" confirmation that keeps shoppers on the page - directly inside the cart designer, under its own Two-Step Cart section. The live preview now switches to the two-step popup or drawer as you edit, so you can see every change instantly.

Build your own version of EliteAI™ Ultra with custom rules for which products get recommended and how they rank - for example, only recommend products under $50 from your Accessories collection, ranked toward bestsellers. Filters decide what is eligible, boosts nudge the ranking, and you can assign a different version to each surface.

Let shoppers type a line quantity straight into the cart instead of only tapping the minus and plus buttons - for example, changing a quantity from 2 to 12 in one step. It is an opt-in toggle under Product display.

Control upsells and EliteAI recommendations independently for your cart, product page, and two-step cart - for example, run frequently-bought-together on the cart but bestsellers on product pages.

The upsell that pops out from a checkout line item can now use a plain text link as its trigger instead of a button, and its savings label can show the discount as a percentage as well as an amount - for a lighter-touch nudge on the checkout page. For example, a discreet "Add a matching strap" link that reveals "Save $12 (30%)".

The promotion title on a discounted upsell flow now shows in each shopper's own language at checkout - set a separate title per language in the flow editor instead of one fixed wording for everyone. For example, German shoppers see "Sommerangebot" while English shoppers see "Summer Deal" on the same flow.

Show up to three upsell recommendations stacked vertically, each with an image beside the product details - a compact middle ground between the single-product Simple layout and the larger grid galleries. For example, surface three complementary add-ons in the cart without the footprint of a full grid.

Free gifts can now be zeroed out automatically on any Shopify plan, not just Plus - EliteCart sets up a native Shopify automatic discount that prices the gift at $0 in the cart and restores it if the shopper changes the quantity, so the same product still sells normally.

Offer 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.

Every 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.

Your 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.

Show 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.

The cart quantity buttons and upsells now follow Shopify's B2B minimum, maximum, and increment quantity rules - so a wholesale buyer adjusting a line snaps to a valid amount instead of hitting an error at checkout.

Place 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.

Tie a reward to spend inside a single collection instead of the whole cart - for example, free shipping after $75 of Jackets.

The full admin and storefront are now available in German, carefully localized by a native speaker.

A new discount reward type with collection targeting, subscription exclusion, per-reward conditions, and scheduling - EliteCart configures the Shopify discount for you.

A complete overhaul of the reward bar: up to 20 rewards with per-reward scheduling, conditions, and hidden gift promotions.

Show 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.

Show star ratings and review counts directly on cart items and upsell products.

Set 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.

Upsell 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.

Announcement-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.

Analytics 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.

Every 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.

Turn on a per-flow toggle to skip an entire upsell flow as soon as any one of its products is already in the cart - not just hide that one product. Ideal for flows that pitch alternatives to each other: once a shopper adds one of your three phone-case styles, the other two stop showing too.

Shoppers 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.

A 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.

Shopify 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.

Cart 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.

An 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.

Professional 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.

EliteCart 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.

When 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.

The 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.

Customers 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.

The 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.

Automatically 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.

Items 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.

Offer 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.

EliteCart 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.

Shoppers 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.

The 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.

Add 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.
