We just released a bunch of new gradient-related features for Divi 5 ! Gradient options have been consolidated into a new gradient picker panel, and with the introduction of a new gradient field type, gradients are now easier to manage than ever.

That is where a custom cart page can make a real difference. With Divi 5 , you can build a cart page visually using native WooCommerce modules, rather than relying on a generic layout or custom code. In this guide, we will show you how to create a custom WooCommerce cart page in Divi 5, style the cart products and totals, add trust signals, include optional cross-sells, and refine the layout for mobile.
