Configuration options

In Settings > Upsells > Sidebar Cart, you can configure:

  • Styling: Colors, fonts, and spacing to match your theme
  • Upsell display: Whether to show upsells in the cart and how many
  • Bundle display: How bundle items are grouped and displayed

Cart upsells

When you create cart upsells in Bonde, they automatically appear in the sidebar cart. The upsells are triggered based on cart contents and can include discounts. See Cart upsells for details on creating upsell offers.

Bundle display

When customers add bundles to their cart, the sidebar cart:
  • Groups all bundle items together under a header
  • Shows the bundle name and total price
  • Allows expand/collapse to see individual items
  • For subscription bundles, shows the delivery frequency

Subscription display

For subscription items, the sidebar cart shows:
  • The subscription frequency (e.g., “Delivers every 30 days”)
  • Any subscription discount applied
  • Visual grouping for subscription bundles

Troubleshooting

Sidebar cart not appearing?
  • Make sure the Bonde app embed is enabled in your theme
  • Check that the sidebar cart is enabled in Settings > Upsells > Sidebar Cart
  • Some themes have their own cart drawers that may conflict—you may need to disable the theme’s cart drawer
Cart upsells not showing?
  • Verify you have active cart upsells configured
  • Check that the trigger conditions match the current cart contents
Bundle items not grouped?
  • Ensure bundles are added through the Bonde bundle widget
  • Check that the sidebar cart is properly initialized
