Refresh Theme Mini Cart doesn't update after click on Add to Cart Button

Topic summary

A user is experiencing an issue with the Refresh theme where the mini cart (located in the upper right corner) fails to update automatically after clicking the “Add to Cart” button.

Current Behavior:

  • Mini cart only updates after manually refreshing the entire product page or clicking directly on the mini cart itself

Temporary Workaround:

  • User implemented a redirect to the cart page after adding items, but this prevents customers from continuing to shop seamlessly

Desired Solution:

  • Looking for a way to enable automatic mini cart updates while allowing customers to continue browsing without being redirected

The issue appears to be a theme-specific functionality problem affecting the cart update mechanism. An expert confirmed they could see the cart loading, but the original poster seeks a solution that maintains the mini cart’s real-time update feature.

Hey,
After the customer clicks on “Add to Cart” the mini cart on the right upper corner doesnt reload/updates automatically. Only after refreshing the whole (product) page or click on the mini cart.

Thanks in advance

Yes, I changed it (kinda workaround) so that the customer redirects to the cart page but is there a way, that he can continue shopping and to update the mini cart?
