How can I resolve checkout issues in my online store?

Topic summary

Checkout is failing across multiple Shopify themes; a temporary hot fix is to change cart form actions to point directly to /checkout. Back up your theme first and monitor Shopify’s status page for the official fix.

Key workaround: search theme files for <form action=“/cart” or {{ routes.cart_url }} and replace with /checkout. This redirects users from cart to checkout when submitting the form.

Theme-specific notes:

  • Dawn: edit main-cart-items.liquid and cart-drawer.liquid.
  • Kalles: edit cart_widget.liquid; disable the “Cart view” button.
  • Warehouse: edit sections/cart-template.liquid (around line ~350), change action to /checkout.
  • Prestige, Brooklyn, Supply: similar edit; search for the keyword “cart” to locate the form.
  • Debutify: snippet cart-page.liquid; change action from {{ routes.cart_url }} to /checkout.

Drawer cart (slide-out cart) behavior: if pressing checkout still goes to Cart, update the drawer’s checkout button and/or add value=“checkout”.

Alternative quick fix: replace the checkout button with a simple link Continue to checkout.

Notes/impacts: Google Tag Manager can remain; some users report the cart page no longer opens after the change. Images and code snippets are central to applying the fix.

Status: temporary workaround works for many, orders resumed; official Shopify resolution pending; discussion remains open.
