  2. Search for Mini Cart in the widget panel.
  3. Drag it onto the canvas in the top-right header area.

Common Use Cases

Place the Mini Cart in the site header so customers can always see their cart total while browsing. Use Open Dropdown for a quick preview without navigating away from the current page.

Tips & Notes

Tip: Use a contrasting badge colour so customers immediately see when items have been added to their cart.
Note: Configure the Cart page in Goose → Settings → Pages → Cart Page.
