How to fix ongoing cart issues with the Dawn theme?

Hello, I am wondering if anyone has a solution to the ongoing cart issues the Dawn theme appears to be encountering. I have just recently opened my shop in Nov 2022 and am seeing many of the same issues from months ago have been raised, with Shopify claiming they were fixed…they’re not. I’ve had to change multiple items of code in order to resolve issues such as “Add To Cart” and to update or delete items in the cart.

I’m currently facing the issue where cart items can be updated (quantity increased or decreased), however this does not update in the cart automatically. The rubbush bin delete icon is not working either. The quantity numbers will change, however it is not reflected in the cart. The only way to see these changes is to proceed to the checkout.

My website it www.rawaffection.com.au
It’s now November 2022 and Shopify claimed this was an issue resolved for the Dawn theme 15th May 2022…not so.

The initial issue of the cart not performing any of the above actions and simply showing the loading icon forever, appears to have stemmed from the cart.js file. I have changed fetch(${routes.cart_change_url} to fetch(window.Shopify.routes.root + ‘cart/change.js’, config)

This changes the issue of the constant loading/no update, however it does not provide an updated cart (i.e. prices remain same and products remain in the cart if you have selected to change quantities or delete them). It does however change the quantities, price, items when you advance to checkout. Would greatly appreciate help with how to make this update appear in the cart and fix this very unpleasant problem ASAP.

Hi @Olive_Dragon ,
There are no cart drawer issues on the latest version of the dawn theme that is Dawn version 7.0.1
So you can install that theme on your store and just copy all your content of existing theme into the newer version of the theme.
I have checked your store and it does not have a lot of customization so it will be a very easy fix for you to migrate your store to dawn version 7.0.1.
You can add the latest version of dawn from the link https://themes.shopify.com/themes/dawn/styles/default
If you face any difficulty in migrating then you can hire someone or let me know as this is would be a very easy fix then looking for changing the codes.

Thanks & Regards

@kaalTechGeeks I am running the latest version of Dawn v7.0.1 and am definitely experiencing these issues. Not sure if you tried it when you went onto my store page, but there are the issues I raised happening.

@Olive_Dragon That’s really weird as I am also using the latest dawn version and i do not face any such errors on my store

can you please grant me collaborators access so that I can check and let you what is the real issue?

hi @Olive_Dragon

I also using Dawn theme 7.0.1 on many stores, but so far I don’t have any issue like your. Cart page and Cart drawer still work fine. I think you should try to use Dawn theme 7.0.1 on your store to verify that your issue is still existing on Dawn theme 7.0.1

Thank you, I had. There were issues in the original Dawn code that I have since modified in order to resolve this.
