Extending Product and Cart Pages

To add promotional widgets on new custom areas for cart or the product pages, update theme regions via the theme editor and then update applied regions on the promotional settings.

In BigCommerce, regions are specific locations in the Stencil theme template files where you can place a widget. You can add a region at the cart \ product file level using the format {{{region name="..."}}}.

Best Practice

Give a region name that is descriptive of the location and function.

1. Navigate to the Theme Editor: Admin > Channel Manager > Your Channel > Theme
2. Click on the Advanced button > Edit Theme Files

3. Open file templates/pages/cart.html for cart page or templates/pages/product.html for product page, add a new region:

   Custom Region

   {{{region name="..."}}}
   
   <!-- For Example: new region after submit buttons on cart page -->
   {{{region name="cart_below_submit_actions"}}}
   

   Note. You also can add new regions on nested components, for example, file c`omponents/products/product-view`
