Checkout sends me to cart page instead of cart drawer

Removed because inbox keeps getting spammed by advertisements. And I cannot delete the message itself

@TrendBlend your cart drawer or page is a part of the theme, whereas checkout page is part of shopify system. Hence when you click on link it goes back to page only as it does not have any code added to open cart. Still you can ask actual shopify support about it and check checkout settings from customize settings.

This is possible with a bit of JavaScript, but I’d get professional help with it if you’re not familiar writing that.

Steps:

  • Include a script in theme.liquid that checks for the current page and makes sure it’s not the cart page
  • If it is the cart page, redirect to whatever page you want, with a url parameter like ?cart-drawer=openat the end (bonus, make the page configurable via theme settings)
  • Also have the script check for that url parameter on page load, if it exists, open the cart drawer right away, ideally using existing “open cart drawer” JS functionality in the theme

Hi,

Hope this will help

In Shopify, cart drawer (slide-out cart) is controlled entirely by your theme and JavaScript.

Most common causes:

  • Cart type setting in the theme, make sure it’s set to Drawer not Page
  • If the cart drawer JavaScript fails to load, Shopify safely falls back to the cart page
  • Third-party apps interfering
