-#### Option 2: No Cart Button (Manual Control)
+**Position Options:**
+
+You can control where the cart button is placed relative to a target element:
+
+```html
+<!-- Place inside the target (default) -->
+<script data-cart-badge-button="header-cart" ...></script>
+
+<!-- Place above the target -->
+<script data-cart-badge-button="above:.header-logo" ...></script>

+
+<!-- Replace the target -->
+<script data-cart-badge-button="replace:.old-cart" ...></script>
+```
+
+**ID Auto-Prefixing:**
+
+Element IDs are automatically prefixed with `#` if needed:
+
+```html
+<!-- These are equivalent: -->
+<script data-cart-button="header-cart" ...></script>
+<script data-cart-button="#header-cart" ...></script>
+```
+
+#### Option 2: Floating Cart Button (Default)
+
+If no cart button attribute is provided, or if the target element is not found, the SDK automatically falls back to a floating cart button (bottom-right corner):
+
+```html
+<!-- Empty attribute = floating cart button without badge -->
+<script data-cart-button="" ...></script>
+
+<!-- Empty badge attribute = floating cart button with badge -->
+<script data-cart-badge-button="" ...></script>
