Removing the “Return to cart” link on Shopify checkout for a one-product, direct-to-checkout flow.
Context: The store uses Ecomposer; the link lets customers navigate back to cart and then to unfinished pages. A screenshot and a screen recording (attachments central to the UI behavior) were shared.
Observations: Some stores appear to have no “Return to cart” link. An abandoned checkout email CTA led to a checkout page without the link.
Technical note: A commenter states only Shopify Plus merchants can modify checkout code. The email CTA likely bypasses the cart, so the breadcrumb (the path indicator showing how the user arrived) doesn’t exist, which may remove the link.
Unresolved point: The poster believes non-Plus stores achieve this via direct-to-checkout buttons, yet their own button still shows the link.
Action items: Provide the site URL and the direct-to-checkout button location for diagnosis; contact Ecomposer support or a page builder developer for app-side solutions.
Status: Ongoing; no confirmed method to hide the link without Shopify Plus.
How can I get rid of the “Return to cart” link on checkout? I am building a one-product store that takes customers directly to checkout. I am using Ecomposer to build my page but when a customer goes to checkout the link can take them back to the cart and from there they can go to my home page, collection page, etc… This is a big problem for me because none of those pages are built out. See screenshot of what I want to get rid of.
I know it is possible somehow because I have seen some stores without the return to cart link. Also, I tested my abandoned checkout email today and when I clicked the CTA it took me to a checkout page without the link. See screen recording of how the email CTA works.
hello, Balazs98. The thing is that only Shopify Plus merchants can alter the checkout code. The link doesn’t appear when you come through the email possibly because the breadcrumb (this line that shows the path you’ve crossed to get where you are) doesn’t exist.
None of the stores I saw do this used Shopify Plus, their checkout wasn’t altered in anyway. The common denominator in the stores which didn’t have a “return to cart” link was that they used a button which took customers directly to checkout. I am also using a direct to checkout button but for some reason the cart link is still there.
To have a better view of your problem, I can know the page you are building, I have worked as a page builder app developer before and I can totally help you with this problem.
Also you can ask Ecomposer to assist you
