### How to set it up?

To set up a new Custom Cart Message you can open the Theme Editor and click on Theme Settings > Cart. The options for this are under the 'Message' headline:

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: The Message itself does not generate a promo code. If you plan on using this message in a similar way be sure to set up a promo code first.\
