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.

Hi @Chardia ,

in the debut theme, find the following piece of code in the cart-template.liquid file.

{{ taxes_shipping_checkout }}

You might need to add a margin to the following element (which is the button element).

Hope this helps!
