To edit your shopping cart template, go to your BigCommerce admin and click Storefront. On your active theme, click the Advanced dropdown menu, then click edit files. If you’ve never edited your theme before, you may need to create a backup first.

Click on the cart.html template, locate where in the template you want the Partial.ly button to appear, then copy and paste the code from the integration tool.
