Advanced customizations

In case you want to apply advanced customizations to a cart theme, you can add a different styling to each shopping cart section. ConvertPlus Cart Editor allows you to customize each segment of the cart in a different way, as part of your goal of giving customers a personalized payment experience.

Advanced customizations have priority over the changes made from the Branding menu. For instance, if you edit the color of the links from the Branding menu to red, all the links from the page you are editing will be red. However, by setting the link color from the Cart items section to blue, you are overwriting the customization for this section, and the links color from the Cart items segment will be blue.

Cart Items

Add a different styling to the cart items section from the shopping cart page, by clicking on the Cart items drop-down list. Customize the display of product title, image, quantity and price in the cart by editing the properties of these elements. You are able to add a detailed styling to the coupon box by clicking on Promotion, and you can do advanced customizations to the Delete button, Cart total, and Taxes elements.

Billing details

You can customize the second section of the checkout page by clicking on the Billing details drop-down list. Add your own design to the text properties, background color and border types that compose the environment into which shoppers enter their billing information.

Payment details

You can apply different styling to the payment details section by editing the properties from the Payment details drop-down list. Add a different design to this section by customizing properties such as border type, background color, font size and type to give shoppers a unique experience when they are adding their payment information.

Footer

Click on the Footer drop-down list to start customizing the footer element. You can apply different styling to properties such as border, text and background color.
