Why Mini-Carts Waste AOV
Shoppers open the cart drawer constantly—but most themes only show line items:
- Missed accessories — warranties/add-ons never appear at decision time
- Extra clicks — leaving checkout intent to browse related SKUs
- Weak measurement — no impression/click feedback
- Theme friction — custom drawers without merchandising hooks
