On the cart drawer - if you are using a cart drawer the widget displays below the "Checkout" button.
During the checkout (Shopify Plus only) - you can position the Customer giving widget at any stage of the checkout process providing customer's the opportunity to add a donation to their order.
After checkout (Shopify only) - after the customer has made their payment you can give them the opportunity to add a donation to their order.
Anywhere in your store - Virtue's customer giving widget can be positioned on any page in your store.
This widget can be added anywhere on your store, but by default is added to your cart page under the Check out button.
Customers will be able to choose from three donation amounts and select the cause(s) you have provided. They are also free to adjust the donation amount in the cart, meaning they can give as much or as little as they desire.
