The cart widget is delivered as a Shopify app embed. App embeds are switched off by default in every theme, so this is the one step you must do yourself.
1

Open the Setup Guide

Open the app. The Setup Guide card is at the top of the home page and shows how many steps you’ve completed (for example, 1 / 3 completed).
2

Click Enable App Embed

Expand Initial Set Up and click Enable App Embed. Your theme editor opens in a new browser tab with the app embed already selected.
3

Switch it on and save

In the theme editor’s App embeds panel, make sure Cb Customer Cart Widget is on, then click Save (top right).
4

Confirm in the app

Return to the app tab. The app re-checks your theme about 10 seconds after you clicked the button, and the step shows an Activated badge. If you took longer, reload the home page.

​
From the theme editor

If you prefer to do it by hand:
  1. In Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes.
  2. Next to your live theme, click Customize.
  3. In the left sidebar, click the App embeds icon.
  4. Switch on Cb Customer Cart Widget (from CB Customer Cart Manager) and click Save.
The app checks your live (published) theme. If you switch on the embed in an unpublished theme, the Setup Guide won’t show it as activated — and shoppers won’t see the widget — until that theme is published.

​
When you change themes

App embeds are saved per theme. If you publish a new theme, or a fresh copy of your theme, switch the embed on again in that theme.

​
Previewing in the theme editor

While you’re inside the theme editor, the widget behaves slightly differently so you can see it easily:
  • It’s shown on every page, regardless of your page visibility settings.
  • If the popup is enabled, it opens after about 2 seconds so you can check how it looks.
Your real visitors still see the widget only where your settings allow.

​
What the setup guide checks

The Setup Guide has three steps. Each one is ticked automatically: You can also tick a step yourself by clicking its circle, or hide the whole guide from the ⋯ menu → Dismiss. When all three steps are done, the guide hides itself.
