Dawn Theme: How to remove the Add-to-Cart popup

Topic summary

Removing Dawn theme’s add‑to‑cart popup (cart notification) and optionally redirecting directly to the cart page.

No confirmed toggle in the theme customizer; a referenced GitHub issue mentions the feature but doesn’t provide a disable option. Users report mixed results and confusion.

Proposed approaches:

  • CSS-only: In component-cart-notification.css, set the cart-notification element to display:none to hide the popup. Works for some, but does not redirect to the cart and can cause the add‑to‑cart button to appear nonfunctional (differences between sticky vs regular ATC noted).
  • JavaScript changes: In cart-notification.js, redirect to /cart at the start of the open() function (and return), or remove the line that triggers the popup (this.open()). Alternatively, change the product.js onclick to route to the cart. These can affect other theme features; backup advised.
  • Advanced: Remove cart-notification Liquid/JS files entirely; requires developer skills.

Outcomes: Some users confirm success (CSS + JS), others still see the popup and requested direct assistance. One case reports unwanted auto-redirect to cart when logged in.

Open items: How to disable only the checkout section within the popup; reliable redirect without side effects. Code edits are central; one image illustrates the popup UI. No definitive resolution yet.
