How to remove checkout text from cart code?

Topic summary

Removing the checkout note (“Shipping and discount codes are added at checkout”) from the cart for a store with digital products only.

Guidance by theme:

  • Dawn: Edit main-cart-footer.liquid and remove the small element containing the note.
  • Debut: In cart-template.liquid, remove the taxes/shipping checkout note snippet; you may need to adjust button spacing afterward. Alternatively, contact Shopify Support (Standard plan and above) to use free design time to remove it.
  • Other themes: Use browser dev tools to locate the element in the relevant cart file (e.g., cart.liquid) and delete it.

Current outcomes:

  • Debut: OP removed the text by customizing the Buy Button’s text before embedding, and also received a code-based removal path.

New issue (Soul theme):

  • A user found a tax-note block in main-cart-footer.liquid using translation strings, but removing it didn’t change the cart message (“Taxes, Discounts, and shipping calculated at checkout”), which also shows a capitalization inconsistency and may be inaccurate. The message may be rendered elsewhere in the theme and requires a theme-specific fix.

Status: Partially resolved (Debut); unresolved for Soul theme.

@Chardia Since you using debut if your on standard plan and above contact shopify support and you can use some of your free design time to have such text removed.

Also would be a good time to remind them this text is pointless for digital products and there should be a check for that instead of always rendering.
