Purpose
ARTSABERS Cart page — Variant F “The Focused Cart”. Aggressive audit application. Every non-essential is stripped or moved. Universal terse metaphor, WC composite parent+child, no cross-sell, no free gift picker, no BNPL, minimum surface between “here are your items” and “checkout.” This is the “how clean can the cart be” test.
Question this variant asks: does removing every secondary element convert better than showing them?
Direction
Kyber Hull — apply the direction from SAS1. Reuse the CSS gradient + panel-joint hairline background pattern from MAS51/MAS52. Fieldset border pattern from MAS52 for content-groups. Form primitives from MAS52. Real ARTSABERS product photography. Zero border-radius sitewide.
Metaphor discipline (LOCKED)
- Page title: Cart (terse, minimal)
- Shipment groups: Shipment 1 of 2 / Shipment 2 of 2
- CTA: Checkout → (terse, less loaded than “Secure Checkout”)
- No brand-voice metaphors on the cart itself
Sections (top to bottom)
1. Compact page header
- ~180–220px — the smallest header of any variant.
- Breadcrumb:
Home / Cart.
- Title in ember accent: Cart.
- Sub-line body: 3 items · 2 shipments.
- Trust chip strip: 24-hour UK dispatch · 30-day money-back · 1-year duelling warranty · 2,400+ five-star reviews.
2. Free gift — passive one-line note only
No banner. No picker. A single subtle one-liner sits directly above the shipment groups:
- Small gift icon + one line, all inline: Free Silver Coupler included with Shipment 1 · muted “Change →” link. Total height ~40px. Reads as a benefit note, not a demand.
3. Main cart — two-column split
Left column: shipments as bordered content-groups (MAS52 fieldset pattern).
Shipment 1:
- Legend: Shipment 1 of 2 · Arriving 12–14 August · FREE.
- Lede (single line): “Ships direct from our workshop.”
- Line items (WC composite parent + child):

https://artsabers.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/Carbon_Strike_1-768x768.jpg. CHILD: Blade — Ember-orange · Neopixel · 36″ · Duelling — 60×60 ember-tinted blade slot.

- Delivery: single line.
4. Order summary — right column, ultra-lean
Bordered content-group. Sticky. The shortest right column of any variant.
- Legend: Total (not “Order Summary” — signal minimalism).
- Compact cost table:
- Subtotal · $924.97
- Shipping · FREE (combined line — both shipments are FREE, so present as one)
- Discount · -$92.50
- Tax · at checkout
- Hairline
- Total (largest ember on page): $832.47.
- Small line: +240 points earned.
- Hairline
- Coupon VISIBLE: labelled “Discount code” input + Apply button + applied chip “SAVE10 · -$92.50 · Remove”.
- Hairline
- Trust row: SSL padlock (28–32px, ember, prominent) + 30-day money-back badge + 1-year warranty badge — the three key reassurances directly above CTA.
- Primary CTA full-width: Checkout →.
- Below CTA muted single line: Cart auto-saved · Sign in to sync.
- Payment icons: compact single row — Visa · Mastercard · Amex · Apple Pay · Google Pay. NO Klarna. NO “Coming Soon”.
5. NO cross-sell strip
Deliberately absent. Cart is commit-mode. Accessories belong on the product page, category page, or thank-you page.
6. Post-cart reinforcement band
Same as MAS51.
7. Site footer
WC composite line-item shape
Same WC-native pattern as Variants D and E: parent row (full shape) + child row (blade component — image slot + name only, no qty/price/actions).
- Parent row: hilt image (100×100) · product name + Saber Core tail · qty stepper · line price ember (unit omitted qty=1) · Save for later / Remove muted links.
- Child blade row: 60×60 blade colour slot (CSS-authored) · component name Blade — [colour] · [type] · [length] · [duelling]. No qty, no price, no actions. Indented.
Reuse from prior mockups
- Compact page header + trust chip strip — MAS51
- Panel-joint hairline background — MAS51
- Fieldset border content-group + legend on top border — MAS52
- Form primitives — MAS52
- Post-cart reinforcement band + site footer — MAS51
Kyber Hull styling
- Ember accent on prices, “FREE” labels, primary CTA, hairline dividers, coupon applied chip, SSL padlock, trust row icons
- Everything more compact than Variants D and E — smaller type on secondary content, tighter vertical rhythm
- Zero border-radius sitewide
- Blade component slot: dark carbon ground + blade-colour glow + subtle blade silhouette
- MAS52
--forge-red: #E63929 inherited for errors
