Creating Cart Templates
Build Shopping Cart Templates That Save Time and Boost Sales
Set it once. Deliver a better buying experience every time.
Why This Matters
Shopping Cart Templates in the Captura ecosystem help you:
Standardize the ordering experience for every parent
Reduce manual setup for every job
Increase consistency (and revenue) across your storefronts
👉 Less setup. Better experience. More revenue per job.
Start with the Right Approach
Keep your default template broad and flexible
Duplicate it for specific workflows (sports, seniors, direct ship)
👉 This keeps your setup fast and repeatable.
Create Your Template
Navigate to:
Shopping Cart → Manage Cart Templates → New
Step 1: Appearance Settings
Control how your storefront looks and feels
Feature | Recommended Setup | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
Template Name | Clear, descriptive (e.g., Sports Pickup – 8% Tax) | Helps your team quickly select the right template |
Wallpaper | 1600 Ă— 1200px, set to fixed or fill | Keeps branding consistent across devices |
Custom Messaging | Add checkout + gallery messages | Reduces questions and improves parent experience |
Image Options | Enable filters if needed | Adds flexibility for customers (not for Green Screen jobs) |
Checkout Options | ❌ Disable order notes | Prevents fulfillment errors and keeps automation clean |
👉 Clear setup here = fewer mistakes during busy seasons.
Step 2: Shipping & Handling
Define how orders are delivered and priced
Feature | Recommended Setup | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
Shipment Type | Pick-Up / Direct Ship / Customer Choice | Impacts fulfillment workflow and cost structure |
Minimum Order Amount | $1 or $0.01 (not $0) | Ensures profitability on small orders |
Shipping Rates | Flat rate with clear label (e.g., “Delivery Fee”) | Keeps pricing simple and predictable |
Pro Tip:
If you sell large/heavy items, include extra cost in product pricing—not shipping.
👉 Smart shipping setup protects margins and improves conversion.
Step 3: Tax Settings
Set it once—avoid issues later
Feature | Recommended Setup | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
Tax on Orders | Enable if required | Ensures compliance on product sales |
Tax on Shipping | Enable if required | Applies tax to delivery fees |
Digital Download Tax | Set separately if needed | Handles digital product requirements |
⚠️ If both order + shipping tax are off → no tax is collected
👉 Clean setup here saves time during reconciliation.
Step 4: Watermark Settings
Protect your images across the ecosystem
Feature | Recommended Setup | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
Watermark Type | Text or Image (PNG logo) | Protects your images from misuse |
Image Specs | 5:1 ratio, ≤ 500px width | Ensures clean display |
Watermark Position | Tiled Diagonal | Maximizes coverage and protection |
Watermark Thumbnails | âś… Enabled | Protects previews as well as full images |
👉 Better protection = less risk of image misuse.
