How can I add a shopping cart style icon on our site in the upper right hand corner of the site?

You are using the "Five" template which is one of the three oldest templates on Squarespace, having been released in 2012 before they launched any eCommerce features.

For this reason, the cart will appear as a pill shaped button in a fixed position, instead of appearing in the header. There are no cart options available within the site styles.

Although you could add some code to try to redesign or reposition the cart icon, it would be better to use one of the newer templates that have full support for eCommerce, for example one of the 40 Brine-family templates. You can preview one of these without affecting the live site.

Oh boy.  We have so much custom code sprinkled throughout our site and we just went live yesterday with our e-commerce.  I'll have to look into that perhaps in a month or two once things settle down. 

Until then, how can I make the "Shop" menu word standout?  It is possible to add a square around it or highlight/make it bold?

Thank you for your response!
