One cart drawer, 18 ways to convert.
Photon Cart is a Shopify cart drawer app with 18 optional modules, including upsells, Buy X Get Y and a free shipping goal bar. Merchants get those jobs in one fast drawer instead of a stack of separate apps.
// Overview
What is Photon Cart?
Photon Cart replaces the stack of cart apps most Shopify stores accumulate. Upsells, free shipping goals, gift tiers, Buy X Get Y offers, trust badges and checkout add-ons all live in one drawer, and you switch on only the modules you need.
It is built by Photon Apps, a product studio of Simplileap Digital LLP in Bengaluru. Discounts are created as native Shopify automatic discounts, so checkout always honours what the drawer promised, and the drawer script loads after the page so your storefront never waits on it.
