ConvertCart settings

Configure ConvertCart branding, content, discount codes, recommendations, and tracking.

ConvertCart settings control the appearance, content, and behavior of your ConvertCart pages. Access them at ConvertCart → Settings in the Cadence app.

Settings tabs

ConvertCart settings are organized into six tabs:

Colors

Control the visual appearance of your ConvertCart pages:

Setting Description
Page background Background color of the cart page
Header background Color of the top header bar
Text color Primary text color
Card background Background of product cards
Banner color Promotional banner background
Checkout button Color of the primary checkout CTA
Notify me button Color of the back-in-stock notify button
Accent color Highlights and secondary elements

Use your brand colors for a consistent experience. Changes preview in real-time.

Layout and typography

Control structural and typographic elements:

Setting Description
Border radius Corner rounding for cards and buttons
Header branding Show logo, store name, or both
Logo URL URL to your store logo image
Logo size Small, medium, or large
Font family System default or custom font
Font URL URL to a custom web font (if using custom font)
Show product images Display product images on cart cards

Content and behavior

Customize the text customers see on ConvertCart pages. Each cart mode has its own heading, body text, and CTA label:

Cart mode When it appears
Replenishment Customer is due to reorder
Cross-sell Customer is shown a recommended product
Lapse prevention Customer is at risk of churning
Subscription upsell Customer is primed to subscribe
Reorder General reorder experience
Manage Subscription management (if enabled)

Additional content settings:

  • Empty cart message — shown when no products are in the cart
  • Subscription option text — label for the subscribe-and-save toggle
  • Subscription terms — terms displayed alongside subscription option
  • Notify me labels — text for back-in-stock notification buttons

Use placeholders like {product_name} and {first_name} where supported for dynamic personalization.

Recommendations

Control cross-sell product suggestions shown on ConvertCart pages:

Setting Description
Enable recommendations Show/hide product suggestions on cart pages
Max recommendations Maximum number of suggested products (1–10)

Recommendations appear on replenishment and lapse cart pages, suggesting complementary products the customer hasn’t tried.

Offers

Apply Shopify discount codes to ConvertCart purchases by prediction type:

Prediction type Discount setting
Replenishment Optional discount code for reorder messages
Cross-sell Optional discount code for cross-sell messages
Lapse prevention Optional discount code for win-back messages

Discount codes must already exist in your Shopify admin (Settings → Discounts). Enter the exact code name in ConvertCart settings. The discount is applied automatically when the customer checks out through ConvertCart.

Note: Nudges display the same discount codes configured here (shown in the Offers tab of Nudge settings as read-only).

Tracking

Configure analytics tracking for ConvertCart sessions:

Setting Description
UTM source UTM source parameter appended to checkout URLs
UTM medium UTM medium parameter
UTM campaign UTM campaign parameter
Custom tracking snippet Additional tracking code injected on ConvertCart pages

UTM parameters help you track ConvertCart traffic in Google Analytics or other analytics tools.

Best practices

  • Match your brand — use the same colors, logo, and fonts as your storefront for a seamless experience
  • Keep copy concise — customers are one tap from checkout; don’t over-explain
  • Test discount codes — verify codes work in Shopify before adding them to ConvertCart settings
  • Use lapse discounts sparingly — a small win-back discount on lapse prevention can boost conversion without training customers to wait for discounts on replenishment
