How to Add the Shopping Cart Element to Sparkforge Emails

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

The Shopping Cart Element is a drag-and-drop block in the Sparkforge Email Builder that displays product info, pricing, and checkout links inside an email. Use it for abandoned-cart reminders, product promos, and limited-time offers.

The Shopping Cart Element lets you add product cards with images, names, descriptions, prices, and checkout buttons directly into a Sparkforge email. It’s built for abandoned-cart reminders, product promos, and limited-time offers.

What the Shopping Cart Element does

It’s a drag-and-drop block. Each item supports an image, name, description, price, and a button link to your store or checkout page. The block doesn’t process payments — the buttons send recipients to your existing checkout flow.

Add the Shopping Cart Element

  1. Open Marketing → Emails → Templates in your sub-account.
  2. Open an existing template or click + New.
  3. In the Email Builder, click the Add Elements (+) icon in the left sidebar.
  4. Find Shopping Cart under the Elements section.
  5. Drag the block into the section of the email where the products should appear.

Configure the block

Click the Shopping Cart Element to open the Edit panel. From there you can:

  • Adjust layout and spacing — padding, margins, and alignment for a clean product grid.
  • Set product image, name, description, price, and button link for each item.
  • Match colors, spacing, and fonts to your brand.

Use the Visibility tab for device-based visibility or conditional sending rules. Preview on desktop and mobile before saving — verify each product link points to the right URL.

Common use cases

  • Abandoned cart reminders with a "Return to Cart" button.
  • Product recommendations after a purchase.
  • Limited-time offers with a "Buy Now" button and discount code.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Shopping Cart Element process payments inside the email?
No. The element displays product cards and button links. Buttons send recipients to your store or checkout page where payment happens.
Can I customize each product card individually?
Yes. Each card has its own image, name, description, price, and button link. You can mix products in a single block.
Does the block work on mobile?
Yes. The Shopping Cart Element is responsive. Always preview on mobile to confirm the grid breaks cleanly and links remain tappable.
What’s the best use case for this block?
Abandoned cart reminders are the highest-leverage use — recipients already showed intent. Product recommendations and time-bound promos are strong follow-ups.
