## Configuration options

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

* **Enable/disable**: Turn the sidebar cart on or off
* **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](/upsells/cart) 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
