Changelog

New features, improvements, and fixes in EliteCart

  1. New

    Checkout Add-on

    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.

  2. Improved

    Mobile-friendly admin + Built for Shopify polish

    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. For example, you can configure a Checkout Upsell from the Shopify mobile app without falling back to your laptop.

  3. New

    Checkout Reward Bar (Beta)

    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.

    Read more
  4. New

    B2B customer reward condition

    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.

    Read more
  5. New

    Checkout Upsells

    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.

    Read more
  6. New

    Collection-scoped reward thresholds

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

  7. New

    EliteCart now available in German

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

  8. New

    Advanced discount rewards

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

  9. Improved

    Flexible rewards system

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

  10. New

    Low inventory notice

    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.

  11. New

    Product reviews in cart

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

    Read more
  12. New

    Per-flow promotional pricing

    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.

    Read more
  13. Improved

    Upsell discounts now have two types

    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.

    Read more
  14. Improved

    Countdown timers persist across pages

    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.

    Read more
  15. New

    Upsell source tracking

    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.

    Read more
  16. Improved

    Full Smart Collection support for upsell triggers

    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.

    Read more
  17. New

    Skip upsells already in the cart

    Turn 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.

    Read more
  18. New

    Subscription upgrades in the cart

    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.

    Read more
  19. New

    Gift eligibility enforced at checkout

    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.

    Read more
  20. New

    Automatic gift pricing for Shopify Plus

    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.

    Read more
  21. New

    Rich text formatting

    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.

    Read more
  22. New

    Gift Health Assessment

    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.

    Read more
  23. New

    Country-specific add-on visibility

    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.

    Read more
  24. New

    SwitchThemes integration

    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.

    Read more
  25. New

    Strikethrough on the cart total

    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.

    Read more
  26. New

    Unit price display

    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.

    Read more
  27. New

    Gift product protection

    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.

    Read more
  28. Improved

    Instant cart opening and loading indicators

    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.

    Read more
  29. New

    Schedule settings

    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.

    Read more
  30. New

    Product savings display

    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.

    Read more
  31. New

    Shipping insurance add-on

    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.

    Read more
  32. New

    Smart image display

    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.

    Read more
  33. New

    Discount code field in the cart drawer

    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.

    Read more
  34. Improved

    More reward bar display options

    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.

    Read more
  35. New

    Two-step cart

    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.
