🧠 What you’ll learn

How to troubleshoot the Cart Page Date Picker block not showing on your cart page

📘 Overview

If the calendar isn’t visible after running Flare’s setup flow, it usually means:

The wrong block (or no block) is in the cart template.
The Slide-cart app embed is turned on (meant only for drawer carts).
Products in the cart are set as digital rather than physical.
Another delivery-date app or theme code is hiding the picker.

Run through the checkpoints below—each fix takes seconds in the Shopify Theme Editor.

🛠 Troubleshooting checklist

1 | Confirm Flare setup completed

Open Flare and make sure the Add to Theme step shows completed.

2 | Open the cart page in the Theme Editor

Go to Online Store → Themes → Customize.
Use the page selector (top centre) to switch from Home page to Cart.

3 | Add—or verify—the Cart Page Date Picker block

In the left sidebar, look for Cart Page Date Picker.
Block missing?

Click Add block → Apps → Cart Page Date Picker.
The calendar appears just above the Checkout button by default.

Wrong block added?
Delete any ***Product

Question 5

Do I have a Cart page or a Cart drawer (slide cart)?

Accepted Answer

${youtube}Watch: Cart Page vs Cart Drawer — Which one do you have?

You have a Cart Page if…

Clicking Cart loads a new page (/cart).
The cart fills the whole page.
The URL changes (Back button returns to the product page).

| Use this: “Cart Page Date Picker” App Block → Setup guide

|| Do NOT enable: "SLIDE CART Date Picker" App Embed — that’s only for cart drawers → Troubleshooting

Make sure the app embed (screenshot above) is TURNED OFF

You have a Cart Drawer / Slide Cart if…

Clicking Cart slides a panel in/out.
The main page stays visible behind the drawer.
The URL stays the same.
