Hide the cart

[bret1]

I don't want the cart to show up our main headers for our landing page. How do I hide it--until someone buys something?

thanks

Hello! I don't think we currently have an option to hide the cart before items are placed in it, as it can make the interface a bit confusing for some users. It's something we can certainly bring up with the team here, however.

I had started to set up a shop and the 'cart' appeared in my menu automatically, which is ok (although it would be great to be able to place it someplace else if desired).

But then, I decided to remove my shop because I haven't had time to put it together yet and want to wait until later.  Now, the 'cart' link in the menu won't go away even though the shop link is gone. How do I get rid of 'cart' until the time comes when I'm ready to put the shop back up? 

Thanks!

To hide the cart, go to Store > Setup and change your store mode to "buy now".

change store to Buy Now doesn't work. Now what should I try?

[Adam7]

After you changed your store mode did you re-publish your site, @rm3?

[sgodette]

Yes.  Cart still shows.

[Adam7]

In Store > Setup I still see your "store mode" option set to "add to cart", @sgodette. If you change that to "buy now" and re-publish it will remove the cart from your navigation.

hi, if I change the setting from "the cart" to "buy now".  Yes, the button "cart" hidden, but that mean we cannot put items to the cart, and once we click buy now.  The page will direct to checkout page immediately.  This is not what I need.  Can we change the cart icon to other icon type?  

[Adam7]

It's probably possible to change the icon through theme customization. If you're familiar with HTML and CSS you can do that by going to the Theme tab and clicking on "Edit HTML / CSS".

I'm sure this is no longer your issue, but in case someone happens to be looking for a solution to this problem and come accross this question, I figured I would post anyways. I had the same issue (huge headache), but I fixed it by going to "Settings", clicking on "Check Out" and then disconnecting the form of checkout service I chose.  Once I did that, I went back into "Edit Site" to make sure the "Cart" link was no longer there, and then I published the site.  This did the trick for me.  Hope this helps someone.

to add, this was the "Settings" under "Overview" (when you first log on), not inside the website edit area.

Hi there,

I too am having trouble hiding the cart. I'm in store set up but can't see the buy now option.

I've taken the shop off my site for now as it doesn't seem worthwhile.

Cheers,

Wanda

I switched your store mode to "buy now" for you, @wandafull88, though if you want to switch it in the future go to Store > Setup > Checkout, scroll down, then click edit for the advanced options and you'll see it there.

Thanks so much for your help

Not a problem!

Hi Brett I want to hide the cart too. My blog belongs there! you said to go to store, to start the process but I don't know where to look for that!

[PV11]

Where is 'store' Adam?

[Bernadette3]

Hi @PV1 It should be on your main dashboard under Settings>Checkout

Hi there! I managed, by mistake, to start a shop at my website. However I do not have a cart and now I cannot figure out how to get rid of the cart option in my menu. Could someone please guide me?

Hey @Smultron! Go to Store > Setup, and change the store mode option to "buy now", and then re-publish. That should remove the cart from your navigation.
