I want to add a small picture of an empty bag to my cart page but it’s not giving me any option to do so in my theme editor.

I know it’s possible because I’ve seen it on other stores. Could someone please show me how to do this.

Hi @Anonymous

Go to your Online store > Themes > Edit code > open main-cart-items.liquid, find this line of code

# {{ 'sections.cart.empty' | t }}

Add this code below the line of code above. Make sure you add image link in scr attribute
