Change Empty Shopping Cart Text

Go to solution Solved by tuanphan,

How do I change the shopping cart text on the empty shopping cart page?

I added a custom font to the site for header 2 uses elsewhere, but apparently this capitalized and changed the "Shopping Cart" title also. I cannot figure out how to alter it in site styles. I don't need to change the font, I just would like it to be capitalized normally and not all caps.

Thank you so much for your help!! How would I also make the text lower case? And does this mean there is no way of editing this text within the styles section, but only with custom CSS?

 

Thanks so much!

Hi @tuanphan,

I am looking to change the font in the shopping cart text "your shopping cart is empty". Any idea on how I can achieve this?

Thanks.

@codefordummies

I'd like to suggest a small change to your CSS in Custom Design.

Remove or comment out the following.

.empty-message {
    visibility: hidden
}

.empty-message:before {
    visibility: visible;
    content: "Your shopping cart is empty/Votre panier est vide.";
    font-size: 20px
}

Add the following.

.empty-message:before {

  content: "Your shopping cart is empty/Votre panier est vide. ";
  font-size: 20px;
  
  }

.empty-message>span {

  display: none;
  
  }

This will keep the width of the original text from interfering with spacing. Plus you get the Continue shopping back.

Hi @creedon

This works thanks! Is there any way of doing the following:

"Your shopping cart is empty. Continue shopping | Votre panier est vide. Continuez à magasiner"

I would like to keep the link for the "Continue shopping" but also to have it in the "Continuez à magasiner" and to underline both of these as to make it evident that it is a link.

Thank you!

Remove or comment out the previous CSS related to changing the empty cart message.

Add the following to Design > Custom CSS.

/* english/french empty cart message */

#cart .empty-message {

  display: inline-block;
  
  }

#cart .empty-message [data-test="continue-shopping-link"]:after {

  content: '\00A0';
  
  }

#cart .empty-message:last-child:before {

  content: '| ';
  
  }

Add the following to Settings > Advanced > Code Injection > HEADER. 

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Add the following to Settings > Advanced > Code Injection > FOOTER.

<script>

  $( ( ) => {
  
    /* english/french empty cart message */
    
    let $e = $( '#cart' );
    
    if ( ! $e.length ) return;
    
    $e = $( '#cart .empty-message' );
    
    let $c = $e.clone ( )
    
      .find ( 'span:first' )
      
        .html ( 'Votre panier est vide.' )
        
        .end ( )
        
      .find ( 'a' )
      
        .attr ( 'href', 'https://www.terroir-imports.com/produits' )
        
        .find ( 'span' )
        
          .html ( 'Continuez à magasiner' )
          
          .end ( )
          
        .end ( );
        
    $e.after ( $c );
    
    } );
    
  </script>

This works perfectly @creedon! Any chance I could underline the "Continue Shopping"/"Continuez à magasiner" part?

Thank you!! 🙂

How would I change the text of the "continue shopping" link so it says something like "take me back to the homepage"?

Is there a way to change the [empty message on the] shopping cart?

Add the following Custom CSS:

.empty-message {
   visibility: hidden;
}
.empty-message:before {
   visibility: visible;
   content: "Your custom empty cart message";
}

Note that you'll need to save the CSS and then refresh the page to see the changes.
