Follow the steps below to confirm that you’re using the latest code version and that the subscription cart assets were successfully upgraded for your store.
Before you start
- This guide goes through how to confirm if the upgrade was successful. This guide does not provide directions on upgrading the
subscription-cart-footer.liquid

Step 1 - Access a product page
- Navigate to a subscription product on your Shopify storefront.
