The most underrated Shopify CRO move: rewriting the text inside the cart drawer.
Most stores leave it on defaults.
"Your cart" "Subtotal" "Checkout"
Functional. Forgettable.
The cart drawer is the last screen before someone commits to spending money.
Every word in it is doing emotional work whether you realize it or not.
Small changes that actually move the needle:
Change "Your cart" to something with momentum. "Almost yours" or "Ready when you are."
Add a one line reassurance under the items.
Free shipping over $X, easy 30-day returns, ships within 24 hours. Whatever makes the wallet open faster.
Replace the generic "Checkout" button text. "Complete order" works. "Get my order" works better.
Add a soft upsell right above the checkout button, not below the items. People scan from CTA up, not from top down.
Most Shopify stores spend hours optimizing the homepage and zero on the cart drawer.
The cart drawer is where the money actually changes hands.
Treat it that way.
