Cart Drawer Add-On Checkbox for Free Gifts and Order Notes
The Opportunity
A lightweight cart-drawer app that lets merchants add custom checkbox offers such as free samples, gift wrap, or add-ons, and writes the selection into the order note or line item properties. It helps merchants capture simple customer choices without theme coding.
"Merchants want to add a checkbox in the cart drawer for a non-product option and record the choice in the order note, but they do not have an easy no-code Shopify app solution."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Provide a cart drawer widget builder with checkbox toggles, conditional text, and order note/line item property syncing. Merchants can place the widget above totals, customize labels, and map checked states to notes like 'Scoop: Yes'.
Target Audience
Shopify merchants using cart drawers, especially food, gift, cosmetics, and sample-based stores
Competitive Landscape
Some cart customization apps, theme-specific cart apps, and upsell apps with limited checkbox support
Implementation Notes
Build an app block or theme app extension for cart drawer placement, support cart attributes/order notes, allow checkbox-based rules, ensure compatibility with common drawer themes, and provide styling controls plus conditional text output.
Evidence from Merchants

"If checked it should say something like ‘Scoop: Yes’ in the Order note."
