How to change the destination of the continue shopping link

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.
