Topic summary

Goal: Prevent customers from bypassing age verification by hiding the cart drawer’s Checkout button when a knife is in the cart.

Context: Knives on cheffings.net are tagged KNIFE-EMAIL. The cart drawer (mini-cart flyout) currently allows checkout without age verification.

Solution shared: Add a Liquid snippet in theme.liquid (before ) to scan cart items for the KNIFE-EMAIL tag and conditionally hide the Checkout option when detected. Steps provided: Online Store > Edit Code > theme.liquid > insert code that sets a flag if any cart item has the knife tag, then use that condition to remove/disable the Checkout button in the drawer.

Result: The store owner confirmed the approach worked and thanked the contributor. A screenshot was shared to illustrate the outcome, but it’s not essential to understand the solution.

Status: Issue appears resolved regarding hiding checkout for knife-tagged items. The store owner indicated a follow-up question was sent, so discussion may continue for additional help.

The checkout button being this one:
