add to kart pop up notification (Sense)

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Issue: In the Sense theme, the add-to-cart popup only prompts customers to go straight to checkout. The merchant worries this skips cart review (quantities, fees), may confuse customers, and increase abandonment. They want to change the CTA to “Go to cart,” offer both “Go to cart” and “Checkout,” or show a confirmation without a checkout CTA. Screenshots of the popup on mobile and desktop were provided.

Latest guidance: A reply suggests setting the theme’s cart type to “Page,” which sends customers to the cart page after each add, but this removes the popup/drawer flow. Otherwise, changing the popup/drawer CTA requires either contacting the theme developer or adding custom code to include a “View Cart” button that links to the cart page.

Outcomes and status:

  • Options presented: switch cart type to Page; request theme support; or implement custom coding for a View Cart button in the drawer/popup.
  • No confirmation of changes yet; the thread remains open without a finalized solution.

Hello,

On my Shopify, when customers add to kart, an notification pop up on the page.
The problem is that it only suggest to go directly to checkout.
I find it a bit weird to skip the step of seeing your kart. In my opinion its a bit more logic to have a view on your kart first if you ever want to change quantity, check if the product is there without extra unexpected fees.
So im afraid if some customers click the pop up and arrive directly to checkout, its going too fast for them and dont know how to come back so just quit.
Is it possible to change the cta of that pop up ? Like replace by one cta “go to kart”. Or by two cta ("go to kar"t + “go to checkout”) so they chose a bit more.
Or if nothing possible, just one notification that inform the product is in the kart without cta to checkout.

You can see down there screens with notification and its both on mobile and desktop.

Hi @Nekortl . You can use cart type = page from your theme settings. Although it will redirect you to cart page each time you add something to the cart.

So, what you can do is:

  1. contact with the theme developer team

  2. or you will need custom coding in your theme to add a button(something like “View Cart”) in your cart drawer or popup notification which will redirect you to the cart page.
