## Empty cart buttons

In Palo Alto, you have the option to show up to three upsell buttons when the cart is empty.

To set this up you need to first create a new navigation menu. Start by heading over to your Online Store > Navigation and clicking on '*Add menu*':

You can give it any name you want, we will call ours 'Cart menu'.

Note: You can only show up to three buttons so you should only add up to three links in your menu.

Lastly, you need to open up the Theme Editor and click on Theme Settings > Cart.

Under **Empty cart** click on 'Select menu' and choose the menu you just created.

## Free shipping message

*Dynamic message to encourage increased items per transaction.*

Add a free shipping message in the cart drawer to help your customers know how close they are to free shipping. The value fills up and changes as items are added to the cart.

### How to setup

Enable the 'Free shipping message' from the Theme Settings -> Cart tab and set the value from the 'Minimum spend for free shipping' field.

Modify the message text as needed. Keep the `|| amount ||` custom short-code to reference your set value from the Cart settings.

Once the required amount is reached a message will show up too:
