I would like to add a checkout button just above (or below, depending on how it looks) the “Continue shopping” link on my cart page when there are items in the cart. Is there an easy way to do this?
Topic summary
Goal: Add a second Checkout button near the “Continue Shopping” link on the cart page, visible when items are in the cart (Dawn theme).
Feasibility: Confirmed possible with a small code edit. The store uses the Dawn theme (pixilated.com).
Technical approach (suggested):
- In Dawn, copy the “buy buttons” (Checkout) markup from sections/main-cart-footer.liquid (around lines 107–126) and insert it into sections/main-cart-items.liquid (around line 33).
- This involves editing Liquid templates (Shopify’s theme language) to duplicate the Checkout button positioning above/below the Continue Shopping link.
- GitHub links to the relevant Dawn files/line numbers were provided and are central to implementation.
Support offers: One responder offered hands-on help and services; another asked for the cart file or collaborator access to implement and verify the change.
Status: No code snippet was posted in-thread and no confirmation of implementation yet. The request remains open pending the merchant applying the file edits or granting access.

Yes, it’s absolutely possible. You can add a Checkout button above or below the “Continue Shopping” link on the cart page with a small code edit. I can help you with the exact code based on your theme.

Reach out if you need services to put it in place properly
To connect click profile-pic on forums for options.
For this, I need to add code inside the cart file. Either you can send me the cart file, or you can send me the collaborator code. I will check it and update you.
