Shopping cart is not visible, images in the backround

Topic summary

A user’s shopping cart popup displays with a transparent background, making it difficult to read due to background images showing through.

Root Cause:
The cart has transparency/opacity applied, likely from:

  • A color scheme with transparent background selected in Theme Settings > Color
  • Custom code affecting the cart drawer styling

Proposed Solutions:

  1. Check theme settings: Navigate to Theme settings > Color and verify the selected color scheme doesn’t use transparent backgrounds. Test with white or solid colors.

  2. Apply CSS fix: Add custom CSS to force a white background:

.cart-drawer__inner {
  background-color: #fff;
}

This code should be pasted in: Online Store > Themes > Customize > Settings > Custom CSS.

Status: Multiple community members offered to investigate further with store access. The user shared their store URL (bournelondon.myshopify.com) and password. One collaborator code attempt failed. A CSS solution has been provided but implementation confirmation is pending.

@user1646 can you please share this page link?

Hi @user1646

Welcome to the community.

It looks like your cart has a transparent background, instead of standard white. Check your theme settings, for cart and general, and see if you have all colors set. That also could be a custom code, but from the image, we can not get many clues and it is only guessing. If you want, please share a store link, and if the frontend is password-protected, then the password too.

Hello @user1646 ,

I hope you are well!

This is due to opacity which has been added to the cart popup. Can you please provide the store URL so that I can provide you the CSS which will fix the opacity and cart popup will appear automatically.

Hey @user1646,

The requested changes requires to do the custom code in your theme file. Could you please share the Store url and collab code in the p/m so that i can take a look and implement the requested changes.

Thanks

The collab code is wrong. Please send me the correct one.

@user1646

You have chosen a color scheme in Theme settings > Color that has a transparent background, or there is an issue in your code. Double-check you selected the color scheme and try to set different colors for a test, white should be fine

Please copy and paste the code below by going to the Online store >> Themes >> Customize >> Click on Settings icon to the left >> Scroll down to the bottom and paste it to the custom CSS tab.

.cart-drawer__inner {

 background-color: #fff;

}

It will change the color to White.
