Step 2 – Add the App to a Cart Drawer (Code Required)

If your store uses a cart drawer, follow the steps below carefully.

Step 2.1 – Open your theme code

1. Go to Online Store → Themes

2. Click the three dots (…) next to your active theme

3. Select Edit code

Step 2.2 – Locate your cart drawer file

In the code editor, look for the file that controls your cart drawer.

Common file names include:

• cart-drawer.liquid

• drawer-cart.liquid

• mini-cart.liquid

• cart-notification.liquid

📌 Tip
Use the search function (Ctrl/Cmd + P) and search for “cart” inside the Snippets or Sections folders.

Step 2.3 – Insert the app container

Add the following code snippet where you want the VAT validation form to appear (usually near the cart totals or checkout button):

<div id="ooTaxExemption"></div> 

This element acts as the mount point for the VAT validation form.

Step 2.4 – Save and test

1. Click Save

2. Open your storefront

3. Add a product to the cart

4. Open the cart drawer

5. Confirm the VAT validation form appears

Very important – Theme Editor block is still required

⚠️ The code snippet alone is not enough

Even when using a cart drawer, you must also add the app via the Theme Editor:

• Go to Online Store → Themes → Customize

• Open the Apps section

• Add OO – EU Tax Exemption

The Theme Editor block loads the app logic.
The <div id="ooTaxExemption"></div> only controls where the form appears.

Without both:

• The form will not render

• VAT validation will not work

Common mistakes

❌ Adding the app only via Theme Editor
→ Cart drawer will stay empty

❌ Adding only the code snippet
→ App logic will not load

❌ Adding the snippet in the wrong file
→ Form does not appear

Quick checklist

✅ App added via Theme Editor
✅ <div id="ooTaxExemption"></div> added in cart drawer file
✅ Tested with product in cart

If all three are correct, the VAT form should appear and work as expected.
