How to change the destination of the continue shopping link

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Users are seeking to redirect the “Continue Shopping” button in their Shopify cart to different destinations, primarily the homepage instead of the default products page.

Initial Solution Provided:

  • Locate the cart template file (cart.liquid or cart-template.liquid) in the theme code editor
  • Find the “continue_shopping” code section using search (CTRL/CMD + F)
  • Modify the href attribute to redirect as desired
  • For homepage redirect: change href value to just “/”
  • A screenshot was shared showing the specific code modification

Key Technical Points:

  • One user recommends using {{routes.root_url}} instead of hardcoding “/” for proper homepage redirection
  • A YouTube tutorial video was shared for Dawn theme users
  • Different themes (Minimal, Turbo, Craft, Monaco) have varying code structures, making the solution theme-dependent

Ongoing Issues:

  • Multiple users report their theme code looks different than examples provided
  • One user wants to redirect to a specific collection URL rather than homepage, seeking the correct Liquid syntax
  • Another user reports the “/” method doesn’t successfully redirect to homepage in their Monaco theme

The discussion remains open with unresolved questions about theme-specific implementations.

Hi, I would like to link the continue shopping button in the cart back to the home page instead of the products page in the Minimal theme. From previous posts I’ve got as far as finding some code in cart-template.liquid which looks like this.

{{ 'cart.general.continue_browsing_html' | t: link: routes.all_products_collection_url }}

{% endif %}

but it looks very different to others that have been mentioned. No coding experience so advice on how to edit this gratefully received!

Thanks.

Hi, @Barbara16 !

I’m Miles from the Social Care team at Shopify. I’ll be happy to help you redirect your continue shopping button to “home” instead of product pages.

Go into your Shopify Admin and then click on Online Store > Themes and click on the “…” in the top right, and then click on edit code. Now click on cart.liquid (you might need to go further if noted like it might say you need to go to “/sections/cart-template.liquid”) and then look for the “continue_shopping” code. If you’re having trouble finding it, you can hit CTRL + F or CMD + F if you’re on a Mac and type in “continue” to find the code.

The piece you want to change is the “href = " part. You will want to delete everything between the quotation marks except for " /”. I took a screenshot here so you can see what it will look like!

Hardcoding is not the right way to redirect, you should change the href to {{routes.root_url}}.
Hope that helps

{% comment %}
<a
href=“{{ https://fermary.com/collections/jars-of-fermented-vegetables }}”
class=“cart-drawer__continue link-hover-arrow”

{{ ‘general.continue_shopping’ | t }}

{% endcomment %}

where can I get the equivalent code to what they have for my specific collection?

So instead of this routes.all_products_collection_url I want a specific collection to show

Also following the steps you gave does not take me to the home page {% comment %}
<a
href=“/”
class=“cart-drawer__continue link-hover-arrow”

{{ ‘general.continue_shopping’ | t }}
