How to remove add to cart and Cart Icon on Dawn theme and Shopify 2.0 Themes Straight to checkout?

Topic summary

Goal: remove the cart/add-to-cart options in a Shopify 2.0 (Dawn) store to send shoppers directly to checkout.

Suggested approach:

  • Edit theme code via Online Store > Edit code.
  • Open product.liquid (product page template).
  • Search for the snippet {{ product.metafields.product_page_metafields.addtocartbutton }} and remove it.

Notes:

  • The referenced snippet uses a metafield (a custom data field attached to products) to control display of the add-to-cart button. Removing it may hide the button on product pages.
  • product.liquid is the template file for rendering product pages; changes here affect how the add-to-cart appears there.

Limitations/unknowns:

  • The steps focus on hiding the add-to-cart on product pages; removal of the cart icon sitewide and automatic redirect straight to checkout are not addressed.
  • No confirmation of results or additional guidance (e.g., handling other templates, cart page, or checkout redirect logic).

Status: no resolution confirmed; further steps likely needed to fully remove the cart and implement direct checkout.

Summarized with AI on February 7. AI used: gpt-5.

So, I don’t really want a cart option on my store, I just want people to go straight to checkout - does anyone know how to remove the checkout from the product page but also just generally?

Thanks!
