What's new in Swift Cart

A big update focused on button customization and accessibility. Merchants asked for more control over the checkout button — here it is.

• New
  Custom checkout button text — set any label you want: "Pay now", "Complete my order", "Proceed to checkout", etc.
• New
  Button border radius control — choose between sharp, rounded, or pill-shaped checkout buttons to match your brand aesthetic.

  Accessibility — all interactive elements in the cart drawer now have proper ARIA labels and keyboard focus states.
• Fix
  Color picker on Safari 17 — resolved an issue where the color picker would close unexpectedly on Safari 17 macOS.

Mobile experience overhaul. After analyzing session data, we found over 60% of cart views happen on mobile — so we made sure every pixel is sharp on small screens.

• Improved
  Mobile cart layout — completely re-engineered for small screens. Better spacing, larger tap targets, smoother slide animations.
• Improved
  Color rendering on OLED screens — improved color accuracy on OLED/AMOLED displays common in flagship Android and iPhone devices.

  Cart drawer open/close animation — new smooth slide + fade animation when the drawer opens and closes.
• Fix
  Cart title overflow — fixed a bug where very long cart titles would overflow outside the drawer header on mobile.
• Fix
  iOS 17 scroll lock — resolved an edge case where body scroll would remain locked after closing the cart drawer on iOS 17.

Live preview redesign and new color options. This release focused on making the settings panel feel more professional and intuitive.

• New
  Redesigned live preview — the settings panel now shows a side-by-side, real-time preview of your cart drawer as you make changes. No more guessing how it'll look.
• New
  Item separator color — control the color of the divider lines between cart items for even more precise branding.
• New
  HEX color input — type a HEX code directly into the color fields instead of only using the color picker. Paste your brand colors in seconds.
• Improved
  Settings load time — the settings panel now loads 40% faster thanks to code splitting improvements.
• Fix
  Dawn theme conflict — fixed a CSS conflict with Shopify's Dawn theme that caused the cart background color to not apply correctly.

Color system improvements and the first round of bug fixes based on early merchant feedback.

• Improved
  Color picker redesign — new full-spectrum color picker with hue/saturation/brightness sliders. Much easier to nail your exact brand colors.
• Improved
  Color contrast checker — the settings panel now warns you if your text color has poor contrast against your background color (WCAG AA standard).
• New
  Recently used colors — the color picker now remembers your last 5 used colors for quick access across sessions.
