How to change the link that the shopping icon goes to

[AlienX_Central]

My current website is alienx.net. When the cart icon is pressed, it goes to alienx.net/cart. How do I make it so that when the cart icon is pressed, it goes to alienx.net/pages/cart? Also, is there a way to change the looks of the alienx.net/cart page?

You can edit this in your theme editor.

I'd probably start by reading theme.liquid Layout to see where things are inserted, I'm guessing you'll end up in a Section called header.liquid, or maybe a Snippet with a similar name.

Yes you can change the look of the cart page. Start by looking in the Template called cart.liquid, in your theme editor.

If you're not familiar with editing themes, here's a starter guide I wrote up: https://speedboostr.com/how-to-safely-edit-your-shopify-theme.

I took a look at some of the sections in the code. There has got to be a place where I can just change its destination from alienx.net.cart to alienx.net/pages/cart.

To change the look of the /cart you would customized the cart.liquid template or similar.

As for changing an icons url , that depends on where the icon is be it in a sidebar, a flyout menu or a static header on everypage.

If it's in the header often this is in file name header.liquid, or it's  part of theme.liquid

In more modern themes you'll want to look for routes.cart_url

Otherwise it should simply be an anchor tag that uses /cart in it's href attribute.
