Cart and checkout settings


Through the Cart and checkout settings section, you can customize your order finalization page by changing the logo in the shopping cart section, activating animations for better conversions, and attracting user attention.  
1. Checkout logo – In order not to distract customers in your store, your checkout page does not contain a header (the top of the pages in your store). Instead of a header, you can upload a logo to your store that is displayed on this page and that returns customers to the store's homepage when clicked.

Enable button animations – Enable this option if you want to direct your customers' attention to the buttons (such as "Save and Continue") that are pressed to proceed to the next steps to finalize orders. When the option is activated, the user's attention will be more focused on the buttons to continue the process of finalizing the order. The buttons will move for a second to attract the user's attention if he has not yet completed his order.
