Hi,
We have built a custom storefront using Storefront API which includes product catalog, details & cart. As per Shopify’s recommendation for checkout, we forward the checkout request to web checkout form wherein the users perform the payment & order confirmation.
The issue is we don’t have ‘cart’/‘return to cart’ link in the web checkout form. When we use Shopify’s out-of the-box storefront for cart & then redirect to checkout, we see the ‘return to cart’ link. Apparently the API approach is stopping the link from appearing.
Any idea/suggestions on how we can achieve it? We need ‘return to cart’ link in the web checkout form & on clicking the link, the user should be redirected back to the custom storefront.

Hi, this is a great question and I am also searching for an answer!
One idea (seen at https://takearecess.com) , but I dont know how to set it up with liquid is:
- create a shopify store (only used for redirect, the real action is still in your storefront)
- create a page in the shopify store that only serves the purpose to redirect to the checkout.
- extract the checkout id parameter and other necessary information
- redirect to that specific checkout
- make all other pages except the checkout page redirect to your storefront
- when the customer accesses the checkout page from within the shopify store through this redirect page, the “back to cart” should appear.
- so when the customer clicks on “back to cart” he will be redirected to your storefront
But I don’t know how to extract parameters from the URL and redirect internally to the cart with liquid.
Maybe you have an idea and the skills to do so?
Best

I am also looking into this. Did you ever find a solution?
Unfortunately I was still not able to solve this, as I don’t have the Liquid skills to pull it off
