Add SKU to display on checkout/cart pages - Symmetry Theme

Good afternoon,

Looking for some support adding the SKU field into our checkout and cart pages for visibility purposes if possible please?

We’ve managed to get the SKU to display on the product pages for the variants but this doesn’t follow through to the checkout and cart areas.

I’ve checked on the app store to see if there is a third party plugin that can do this but found nothing so far.

We currently use the Symmetry theme.

Many thanks!

Hi @OpalProducts ,
This is Theodore from PageFly - Shopify Page Builder App.

To display SKU on cart and checkout pages in your Shopify store with Symmetry theme:

  1. Manual editing (for developers): Edit cart-template.liquid and checkout.liquid to include {{ item.variant.sku }} in the product information loop.
  2. Shopify App (easier): Search for “cart SKU” or “checkout SKU” apps and choose one with good reviews.

Best regards,
Theodore | PageFly

Hi Theodore,

As mentioned, I can’t find an app on the store to do what I need. They all involve a lot more than we need, or give random permissions to a third party app that’s nothing to do with what we’re after.

We’re not trying to fundamentally change things but at a minimum, we just need to show the SKU underneath the product variant on the cart page - surely there is a simple way to do this?

The cart template code is basically empty, so I’m assuming it’s the sections tab that I’d need to edit for the symmetry theme.

Many thanks

For anyone looking at this thread, I managed to get to the solution myself, after a bit of testing.

I had to add this into the code on the sections tab > main-cart.liquid drop a line after line 42 and enter:

SKU: {{ item.sku }}

This drops the SKU in underneath the product title, by doing it this way it pulls the top level product or variant SKU through.

This now works how we needed it to :slightly_smiling_face:

Does this solution works at checkout?
