You can get up and running in just a few simple steps. After installing the first thing you will have to do is select a plan. Find the plan that best fits your needs and press the corresponding button at the bottom of the page.

![doc image](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/apd/docs/getting-started/getting-started-1.jpg)

Once you select a plan you’ll be directed to the installation page. Advanced product descriptions requires a minor edit to your theme to function properly. This page contains an auto-installer and manual instructions. We recommend running the auto installer. After backing up your theme, select the theme you would like to install on and press “Perform installation”.

![doc image](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/apd/docs/getting-started/getting-started-2.jpg)

Once the installer completes press the continue button. If the installer failed please follow the manual instructions or contact us at apd@apphq.co.

![doc image](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/apd/docs/getting-started/getting-started-3.jpg)

After pressing continue you’ll be directed to the main settings page. This page contains all the global settings (defaults) for your descriptions. Here you can change colors and select your description style.

![doc image](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/apd/docs/getting-started/getting-started-4.jpg)

Now that you’re configured lets create a description. Navigate to the product page you wish to add a description to. From here click the “more actions” button and find “Edit advanced description”.

![doc image](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/apd/docs/getting-started/getting-started-5.jpg)

This will take you to the description editor page where you can manage your advanced description. On the left you’ll find product level settings as well as a reordering too. On the right you’ll see editors for your different sections.

![doc image](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/apd/docs/getting-started/getting-started-6.jpg)

Once completed press the save button on the top right. That’s it! You’ve just created your first advanced description. Visit your product page to see it in action.

Getting started with Advanced Product Descriptions

There are two options to create an advanced description. The first option is to navigate to the default shopify product admin page and click the “Edit advanced description” link inside of “more actions”.

![doc image](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/apd/docs/create/create-1.jpg)

The second option is to go to the products page (located in the header) and click on the product you wish to edit.

![doc image](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/apd/docs/create/create-2.jpg)

Both options will take you to the description editor page where you can create sections and configure your advanced descriptions.

How do I create an advanced description?

Deleting an advanced description is done through the editor page. The best way to find your description is to visit the descriptions page available through the header.

In August 2021 Shopify released its new online store 2.0 framework. With this new framework adding the advanced descriptions snippet is easier than ever.

### Step 1: Go to customize theme

Start by navigating to Online Store > Themes > Customize theme from the Shopify admin dashboard.

![step 1](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/7CyVzZlHMNg9uqTyzbRPgM/9fc1fbfe23e662195c1c939ce4fc1b1a/step_1.png)

### Step 2: Select the product page

Once the editor loads select the product template from the top center dropdown.

![step 2](//images.contentful.com/ola7x25rff97/2HbZxEvM8MbztzJlrwRzgb/b6136e5f5f8bc3fa5f4fb9108d489276/step_2.png)
### Step 3: Add a block

The last step is to add the advanced description block to your theme. We have two options.

__Advanced Description__ - This block will display the advanced description and nothing else.

__Advanced Desc + Fallback__ - This option will display the advanced description if one exists and otherwise display the standard Shopify description.

![step 3](//images.contentful.com/ola7x25rff97/4Jk2yiokjwWAdmG4r8FTE1/3c6def10fe4d6046ffd5a0c963878533/step_3.png)

Excellent app is LOVE IT! help me to make my descriptions so much organized and well presented, the best of all, THE SUPPORT I was having some challenges for my lack of knowledge and I got answers very quickly.

This app is great! It makes the product descriptions so much sleeker and best of all, since we're just starting out, we're taking advantage of the free plan. Originally, our product descriptions were long and scrolling, but now with the accordion, they improve the user experience, creating a more manageable product page. Additionally, customer service is 5-star. I had trouble getting the app installed because of an issue with our theme, and Robert was a great help. He had it fixed within a day, and we started to see our conversion rates climb. Thank you to the team that made this app possible and for great customer service!!

I used this app to better layout my description into easy to manage sections and i must say it is fantastic. it saves taking up alot of screen space. again a++++++++.

Very helpful and useful, the majority of these apps cost $50-$60 per month. With this app you can just get the same options a lot cheaper. Highly recommended.

Amazing app and brilliant customer services! Highly recommended! Got my store setup in no time and this app improved the website a lot.

Advanced Product Descriptions

A Shopify cart drawer app complete with upselling, rewards and announcements. Increase average order value and improve customer experiences.

After installing Slide Cart, you can get up and running in a few simple clicks.

Certain themes already has a cart drawer / popup cart built in. If your store does you will want to disable it before enabling slide cart. An option to disable it is generally found in theme settings. Head to Online Store > Themes > Customize. 

![getting started 1](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/slidecart/docs/getting-started/getting-started-1.jpg)

From here check in theme settings for an option to disable it. Every theme is different, on the default theme it’s under “Add to cart notification”. Disable it and save your settings.

![getting started 1](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/slidecart/docs/getting-started/getting-started-2.jpg)

Now that we’ve cleared the floor for Slide Cart we can head to the app settings page and enable it via the toggle switch located in the header. This will activate the cart on your live store.

![getting started 1](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/slidecart/docs/getting-started/getting-started-3.jpg)

Optionally you can change the settings to match your theme better. If your store has a dark color scheme use “dark mode”. We also recommend setting the accent color to your theme’s primary color.

Getting started with Slide Cart

Changing Slide Cart’s language is done the settings page. Start by navigating to the language section and clicking the button to reveal the fields. 

![enable rewards](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/slidecart/docs/language/language-1.jpg) 

From here you can alter all the language used in the cart. Remember to save your settings once complete.

How do I change Slide Cart’s language

Announcements are only available on our premium plan. Once upgraded adding announcements items is easy. 

From the settings page scroll down to the announcements module section. From here you will find a form where you can create announcements. You can create as many as you’d like.

![add announcement](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/slidecart/docs/announcements/announcements-1.jpg)

Once complete toggle the enabled checkbox and save your settings.

![add announcement](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/slidecart/docs/announcements/announcements-2.jpg)

If a cart has multiple announcements they will be displayed in a slider. You can reorder announcements using the drag handles in table.

How do I make cart announcements?

Uninstalling Slide Cart is as simple as deleting the app. If you preformed the fast install you will want to remove the pasted in snippet, and if you added cart count data attributes you will want to remove them as well.

How do I uninstall Slide Cart?

Upselling items is only available on our premium plan. Once upgraded adding upsell items is easy. 

From the setting page find the Upsell Module section. Once found click the empty box or add product button.

![Add upsell item](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/slidecart/docs/upsell/upsell-1.jpg)

A new window will pop up where you can select the product you wish to upsell. Once selected click the add button on the bottom right corner.

![Add upsell item](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/slidecart/docs/upsell/upsell-2.jpg)

Repeat the process if you wish to additional items (max of five). Once complete toggle the enable checkbox and save your settings.

![Add upsell item](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/slidecart/docs/upsell/upsell-3.jpg)

If a cart has multiple upsell items they will be displayed in a slider. You can reorder the items using the drag handles in table.

How do I upsell items in my cart?

Cart Rewards is for premium users only. Once upgraded setup is easy.

From the settings page scroll down to the rewards module section. In this section you’ll find a multitude of options to set up rewards. Let’s go over each of the fields.

- **Minimum amount** is $ amount needed for the customer to unlock the award.
- **Pre-Unlock text** is the text displayed before they unlock the reward. This should be something motivational (Example: Spend $15 more and receive free shipping!)
- **Post-Unlock text**  is the text displayed once the customer has reached the minimum. If you’re using auto discounts you can say something like “Congrats free shipping unlocked”. If Your using coupon codes you can say something like “Free shipping unlocked! Use code FREESHIP at checkout”.
- **Change shipping text when reward active** Enable this field if you want to change the shipping row once the minimum is met (Example: “Calculated at checkout” > “Free”).
- **Shipping text once reward is met** this is where you place the replacement text.

Once you’ve edited your settings toggle the enable checkbox and save your settings.

![enable rewards](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/slidecart/docs/rewards/rewards-1.jpg)

**Important:**

You are required to manually create an automatic discount or coupon code to match your settings. We highly recommend using automatic discounts over coupon codes.

![enable rewards](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/slidecart/docs/rewards/rewards-2.jpg)


How do I use the rewards module?

If you theme's cart count is out of sync you will have to preform a code edit to fix it.

The edit is simple, add attribute `data-cart-count` to any html tag you want Slide Cart to populate with the cart count.

```<span data-cart-count>{{ cart.item_count }}</span>```

Not comfortable making code edits? Please contact us at slidecart@apphq.co  and our team will be happy to perform this edit for you.

Why is my theme’s cart count wrong?

There are three reasons why an upsell item may not appear. 

1. The product is out of stock or unavailable. Verify that your product / variants are in stock and available for sale. 
2. The upsell product is already in your cart. An upsell item is only displayed when it’s not already in the users cart. 
3. The products handle has changed. The handle is a part of the url (example: mystore.com/products/<handle here>). If this is the case, delete and re-add the upsell product **(in the app not the actual product)**.

Why is my upsell item not appearing?

</div>

Shopify loads plugin scripts after everything else on the page. If your store uses a lot of plugins and images it can really slow things down for Slide Cart. You can dramatically speed up Slide Cart by manually pasting the “fast install” code below your <body> tag.

From the settings page copy the snippet to your clipboard.

![fast mode snippet](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/slidecart/docs/fast-mode/fast-mode-1.jpg)

Start by navigating to Online Store > Themes > Edit Code

![fast mode snippet](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/slidecart/docs/fast-mode/fast-mode-2.jpg)

From here open the layout/theme.liquid file and paste the snippet just below your `<body>` opening tag. Remember to save your changes.

![fast mode snippet](https://cdn.apphq.co/apphq/slidecart/docs/fast-mode/fast-mode-3-alt.jpg)

Installing the fast install snippet

Slide Cart checks for the variable `window.SLIDECART_FORMAT`. If it doesn’t find it Slide Cart will fallback to its own format. If you’d like Slide Cart to use your money_format preform a fast install. Alternatively you can paste the snippet below in your `<head>`. 

```<script>window.SLIDECART_FORMAT='{{shop.money_format}}';</script>``` 

Need help? Send an email to slidecart@apphq.co and we’ll be happy to assist you.

Why is Slide Cart not using my money format?

Slide Cart works with most currency converters once you install the fast install snippet. This snippet provides Slide Cart with your stores money_format and make it far more likely to work with converter apps. You can find details instructions on installing this snippet [here](https://apphq.co/documentation/why-is-slide-cart-loading-slow).

If your converter is still not working or you need help installing the snippet, don't hesitate to [reach out.](https://apphq.co/support).

Slide Cart callbacks and methods

If your pixel events are not firing try enabling "compatibility mode" from the Slide Cart settings page. This setting will default the behavior to your theme and be far more likely to fire events.

![compatibility](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/1xHw8PhJWUi9CVQwPUrgxy/dbfc489350f18a12d4b99ca999f0ba54/compatibility.jpg)

Using Slide Cart with Also Bought

A more automated way to use Slide Cart with Weglot is currently being worked on. In the Weglot integration is possible using a custom script.

__Pre-requisites:__

1. Set up Weglot on your store with the desired languages.

2. Make sure you've installed the fast-install snippet. Detailed instructions can be found [here](https://apphq.co/documentation/why-is-slide-cart-loading-slow).

__Step 1: Determine the two-letter language code.__

Before we add the custom script we must figure out the language code(s). A detailed list can be found [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes). For example if I was translating to German the code would be "de".

____Step 2: Add the custom snippet__

Once you've determined the code copy and paste the snippet below into your theme.liquid file, just below the closing `<body>` tag.

    <script>
      window.SLIDECART_OPENED = function() {    
        var lang = document.querySelector('html').getAttribute('lang').toLowerCase()

        if (lang == "nl") {
          window.SLIDECART_STATE().settings.rewards_pre = "Spend *{{ amount }}* more for 10% off"
          window.SLIDECART_STATE().settings.rewards_post = "10% off activated!"
          window.SLIDECART_STATE().settings.rewards_amount = "100.00"

          window.SLIDECART_STATE().settings.aupsell_heading = "Recommended Products"
        }
      }
    </script>

____Step 3: Add your translations__

Once the snippet is pasted in, change the language code inside of the snippet on line 5.

For example, If I was translating to spanish I would change `if (lang == "nl") {` to `if (lang == "es") {`

Afterwards translate all of the text within the quotes below and hit save.

____Step 4: Test your store__

Everything should be working at this point, give your store a test. If anything goes wrong please contact us and we'll help you get setup.

Once the pre-requisites have been met place the following snippet below the fast install snippet.

Slide cart creates a far better user experience and was designed to convert.

Increase conversion rates

The app is exactly what we looked for. Very easy and quick to set up. The design is clear and enhanced customer's experience. There is an option to offer more products at the checkout which is great to increase sales. The technical support is excellent and very prompt. Fully recommended.

Awesome app and one of the best customer support you'll ever experience from Robert. If you need a better cart for your online store, this is the app. Very easy to use, integrate and awesome design. If you have any questions or request, Robert is very accommodating and replies very fast. Definitely, one of the best apps in Shopify.

The only Shopify app you need! Slide Cart has revolutionized my store making the user buying experiences seamless. Robert was on hand throughout the whole process making the integration easy. Cannot recommend this app enough!!

This is the App you want. I tried every single cart app in the Shopify store. Usually there is always something that doesn't work or the layout just looks cheap. This one was my last option and I just hit the jackpot with it. The App is working fast, the layout is great, it doesn't come with any unnecessary features that slow down your shop. It just works more that great. Easy to use, all important features like cross-selling and upselling modules. It also allows you to put those quick checkout buttons inside the cart so customer can checkout even quicker. Thank you so much.

Slide Cart

Customizable sticky add to cart bar with upselling, countdown, and analytics and more.

### Step 1: Select a plan

After clicking the install button you'll be prompted to select a plan. The free plan gives you the basic functionality and the premium gives you access to design settings, upselling, countdown timers, analytics and more.

![select-plan](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/7GQOxdarVAMDi9UAE0SyXx/53075a7864eaed5aca129d14a627ca10/select-plan.png)

### Step 2: Create a backup

After selecting a plan you'll be taken to the snippet installer page. Before we install the app we'll want to create a backup theme.

In a new tab head to Online Store > Themes. Find the theme you plan to install on and click Actions > Duplicate theme. 

![create-duplicate](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/7d0g1qDWGXDJuVnDjhE5Rp/11f37125d062e0800a18a0d843493fbd/create-duplicate.png)

This should create a backup theme for us to use in case something goes wrong (highly unlikely).

### Step 3: Run the snippet installer

In order for Super Bar to work a small code snippet had to be placed within your theme.liquid file. The auto installer should work for 99% of cases. Select your target theme and click install.

![run installer](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/706NCNS4kzR1taXja8iK08/3f4299be64ae602e9b3f85b6ed3416a8/run_installer.png)

It will make you confirm that you've made a backup before proceeding. It should then only take 20 seconds to install. Once complete click the continue button:

![continue](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/7mzjbvLVQUUhR5BRebfikG/02b11434a65aa36fc7227c5be77877b6/continue.png)

If the auto-installer fails we have detailed manual installation instructions available [here](https://apphq.co/documentation/how-to-manually-install-super-bar-on-a-theme). You can also contact us at __superbar@apphq.co__ if you need assistance.

### Step 4: Enable the app

By default, Super Bar will be disabled. You can toggle the app on and off via the toggle switch locted on the top right. Enable the app.

![enable](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/vIzvhSQFf85vn7ihSSadf/6476e3ce7f7bcde8b27992fb91a671c6/enable.png)

### Step 5: Test that it's working

At this point the sticky add to cart bar should be active on your product pages. Head to your online store and verify that it is working.

### Step 6: Configure

Now that the app is working the last step is to configure it to your liking. You will find tons of configuration options. It should mostly be self explanatory. If you have any questions please check the rest of the documentation or contact us at superbar@apphq.co . 


Getting Started with Super Bar

In some rare cases Super Bar will not be able to automatically add the snippet to your theme. Not to worry though, manual installation is a breeze.

### Step 1: Copy the snippet

Start by coping the manual installation snippet found on the installation page.

![copy-snippet](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/7gJ1yZr9CWxY5utTYugYbz/609530e3956d32d4c8f03f7d014ac09c/copy-snippet.png)

### Step 2: Duplicate your theme

Next you'll want to head to Online Store > Themes and make a duplicate of your theme. This is done as a precaution in case anything goes wrong. 

![create-duplicate](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/7d0g1qDWGXDJuVnDjhE5Rp/11f37125d062e0800a18a0d843493fbd/create-duplicate.png)

### Step 3: Open the code editor

Open the code editor on your theme by going to Actions > Edit Code.

![edit-code](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/4WyQ7mRXhu3guaYj4U4DTb/5a6af5df954dbd18c4dde946f9a46370/edit-code.png)

### Step 4: Open the theme.liquid file

On the left sidebar you'll see a big list of all the files that make up your theme. Open the __theme.liquid__ file located in the layout section.

![open-theme](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/6Go91C7C0XeN3Tonm5jfqi/ca88a3c8dbd5f339b7b860df8ab9500d/open-theme.png)

### Step 5: Paste in the snippet before the closing body

Scroll to the bottom of the file and locate the closing __`</body>`__ tag. __Make sure it is `</body>` exactly and NOT `<body>`__. Paste the copied snippet on a new line above.

![paste-snippet](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/1MlrNQRIoPl8J0NgfNSTpu/1a48fe7f7f616b4c61b3bb45d653aa72/paste-snippet.png)

How to manually install Super Bar on a theme

On the Super Bar settings page you will find the "__Trigger point__" setting. This setting controllers how many pixels down the page Super Bar should reveal itself. The lower the number the sooner it will display.

To show Super Bar at all times you'll want to set this number to zero.

![trigger-point-zero](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/4lw2DC1Czs4Xv25D6Ieqjt/c0398a408e51755fa06488187be03fc9/trigger-point-zero.png)

How do I show Super Bar at all times

On the Super Bar settings page you will find the "__Trigger point__" setting. This setting controllers how many pixels down the page Super Bar should reveal itself. The lower the number the sooner it will display.

![trigger-point](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/4xWOYxYDuMHxvlXU7nN0R9/7273fd72a2ab7ecfedad95d9f11dc7b0/trigger-point.png)


How do I control when Super Bar displays

### Built in Slide Cart support

We are actually the developers behind the #1 cart drawer app on Shopify [Slide Cart](https://apphq.co/apps/slide-cart). Slide Cart works with Super Bar out of the box, and I'd highly recommend checking it out.

### Using another app or a theme's cart drawer

Using a third party cart drawer will be a little more difficult. __If you're not familiar with your cart drawers workings you'll have to contact its developers__, but the basic steps go like this...

#### Change the add behavior

Start by changing your add to cart behavior to nothing. This will stop any cart/checkout redirects that may be happening from Super Bar.

![nothing](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/oO20B8UG3B2gSUWPp9e58/a71739fc25c19fda4b805269c291c5e5/nothing.png)

#### Custom javascript

Next click the "reveal advanced settings" button. This will reveal the add to cart javascript field.

![js](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/3BY9QUurPu3ZOHKPlhTeCP/0b566b4ebc47286fdce4fbb29a7d0fa8/js.png)

In this field you can place any javascript you wish to run upon add to cart. The javascript will have the product and variant variables available to them. __Most cart drawers should have a function you can run here, but you'll have to check with the developers.__


How do I open my cart drawer upon add to cart

If something else on the page is overlapping Super Bar you will want to increase Super Bar's z-index value. This variable controls the apps vertical position on the page. The higher the value the more "on top" the app will be.

### Reveal advanced options

The z-index setting is behind the advanced settings button. Start by clicking the button.

![reveal](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/73GtPXs1NBXu9TZeP2PmYH/abc7ecc0767a31ea0d1094e7c6e29226/reveal.png)

### Increase the value

From here you'll see the z-index field. The highest possible value is __2147483647__ . A lot of other apps put their z-index very high by default.  We recommend using the max 2147483647 and only lowering it if problems arise.

![z-index](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/48nxXvfhQGWOGhFnaYUGK1/e9fdf1fdee3d474b2184839c26126dea/z-index.png)


What to do when other elements are overlapping Super Bar

### Kinds of upselling

Super Bar offers three different kinds of upselling. Here's a quick break down of each one.

#### Add to cart upselling

Add to cart upselling is the most specific and takes preference over all other kinds. Within the app interface you'll be able to create a table of rules "when X is added to cart sell Y". Super Bar will search the table of rules and if a match is found it will upsell that item. This kind of upselling only works on the product page.

![add-upsells](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/2ALhWJC8ifdmN4KULSKS5O/1acf4968a767be2a10bf865302d7f4f8/add-upsells.png)

#### Recommended product upselling

Recommended product upselling makes use of Shopify's [recommended product api](https://shopify.dev/docs/themes/ajax-api/reference/product-recommendations). Upon page load Super Bar will send the contents of your cart to this api and upsell whatever products come back. This is not customizable. If enabled this will be used if add to cart upselling comes up blank or is disabled.

#### Fallback upselling

Fallback upselling allows you to select products you wish to upsell if the methods above come up blank or are disabled.

![fallback](//images.ctfassets.net/ola7x25rff97/4UQEktG8WJZHFgCy8Z4gWn/d71440162812612a0e0560e67093e653/fallback.png)

### Offpage upselling

Offpage upselling allows you to sell upsell additional products while your customers are browsing other parts of your store (non-product pages). It works by showing Super Bar on page with the upsell methods above (excluding add to cart upselling).

 HelpHQ is built to be easily customizable and look great when plugged into any theme or design.

This App is brilliant, I used it to built my help center/FAQ page and it really works perfectly and is exactly what I needed. It has a very professional layout and design ( not like other apps out there) easy to use for customers as you can categorize you're FAQ questions in a very interactive way. It has customers feedback button (thumbs up/thumbs down) for each FAQs which is great for your store. I highly recommend it.

We needed to reduce the number of phone calls by providing self-help and general information to browsers & customers. This is so much better than dull old FAQs. we love it, Easy to set up and use. Highly recommended!

We wanted to create a professional help center page with all the faq and articles with an easy to navigate design. This is the only app that I found that does just that. Best of all it’s easy to use, (our old faq app was so slow and design terrible) so best of all, we reached out to the developer to request customizations and he implemented them for us in a day! Really great customer service!

The most professional FAQ APP you could hope for. 10/10. Worth every penny. Makes your shop very organized. Enterprise-class APP.
