Multiple Shopify store owners are experiencing an issue where the checkout button fails to display in their mini cart drawer (AJAX cart), despite the cart itself functioning normally.
Initial Troubleshooting:
No HTML for the checkout button appears in the source code
No console errors detected
Theme settings and cart template files appear correctly configured
Resolution for Original Poster:
Guleria identified and fixed the issue after receiving collaborator access to the store. The provided code snippet appeared to be from a product page rather than the mini cart template, suggesting a template file configuration problem.
Ongoing Cases:
At least two additional users (Samir2411 and Visore-store) report identical symptoms
For these cases, the checkout button is enabled in settings but remains invisible
In the theme editor, the button block is present (cursor outlines the area) but renders nothing visible
Guleria suggests checking cart drawer settings for enable/disable options or contacting via email for further assistance
The issue appears theme-specific and may require direct code inspection or collaborator access to resolve.

In my Shopify store, the checkout button is not showing in the AJAX cart. The cart opens fine, but there’s no checkout button visible. I haven’t made any major changes to the cart code.
hey, i have the same problem can you help me to fix it please?
the problem is the checkout and view cart buttons are not showing at all in the mini cart
Thanks for your respond, its already enabled and it is working but the only problem is the “Checkout Button” is not showing , otherwise it works on the normal cart but in the mini cart it’s not showing any buttons as you can see in the photo
It is the same for me, when testing the site I cannot see the checkout button when an item is placed in the cart, when going into the website editor I can see a “checkout button” placed as a block on the side but nothing appears, (when hovering over with my cursor it outlines the box, but does not show any black checkout box) Does anyone know how to fix this?? Would be much appreciated
