Add a 'Continue Shopping' Link to shopping cart when products are in it

Site URL: https://www.skelafoods.com

Hey there!

Wondering if anyone knows how to add a 'Continue Shopping' button to the Shopping cart when there are existing products in it?

I'm using the 'Tremont' template.

site: www.skelafoods.com
Passcode: foods

The page is actually hidden as I'm currently developing it and we are going live asap...so the store page link is www.skelafoods.com/store-2 in case you need to add products to the cart to check.

THANK YOU!

Did you figure this out? I can't see any products to add to the cart to find out. I have the same problem.

Did you figure this out? I have the same problem. Thanks

Do you have an example?

Saw an old post sharing how to with code injection but I can't seem to access page settings for cart page to do the code injection. Any suggestions?

Can you share link to that post? We can check easier

Carrie, I've seen many posts on this and no solid answers. I checked with CS and the answer is that it is not possible to have the "Continue Shopping" button show up when there are items in the cart, which is completely inefficient. The agent said she would submit it to the Squarespace developers as a feature request. Our best bet is for everyone to shoot an email to customer support asking to add this feature. The more requests they receive on it, the more they'll consider it necessary. Please shoot them an email so we can get this added sooner than later. Cheers!

There's a solution here, available as a low cost add-on that will add a Continue Shopping button to the Cart:

Back in November I did a version that replicates the text version SS does for an empty cart, for a cart with items. I've freshened it up.

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

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

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

<script>

  $( ( ) => {
  
    /*
    
      add continue shopping message when cart has items
      
      Version       : 0.1d1
      
      SS Versions   : 7.0, 7.1
      
      Dependancies  : jQuery
      
      By            : Thomas Creedon < http://www.tomsWeb.consulting/ >
      
      */
      
    /*
    
      the following values are optional, if left empty default values will be
      provided. if the values have single quotes in them put a backslash before
      the single quotes. example: it's becomes it\'s
      
      */
      
    let notEmptyMessage = '';
    
    let continueShoppingLinkText = '';
    
    // do not change anything below, there be the borg here
    
    if ( location.pathname != '/cart' ) return; // bail if not cart
    
    if ( $( '.empty-message' ).length ) return; // bail if empty
    
    const selector = '[data-test=remove-item]';
    
    let continueShoppingLinkUrl = Static.SQUARESPACE_CONTEXT.websiteSettings
    
      .storeSettings.continueShoppingLinkUrl
      
    if ( ! continueShoppingLinkText )
    
      continueShoppingLinkText = 'Continue Shopping';
      
    if ( ! notEmptyMessage )
    
      notEmptyMessage = 'You have something in your shopping cart.';
      
    if ( continueShoppingLinkUrl != '/' )
    
      continueShoppingLinkUrl = '/' + continueShoppingLinkUrl;
      
    $( '<div class="not-empty-message">' +
    
      '<span>' +
      
        notEmptyMessage +
        
        '</span> ' + // space after the closing span
        
      '<a data-test="continue-shopping-link" href="' + continueShoppingLinkUrl +
      
        '">' +
        
        '<span>' +

      if ( $( selector ).length > 1 ) return; // bail if more than one
      
      $( '.not-empty-message' ).remove ( );
      
      $( document ).off ( 'click', selector );
      
      } );
      
    } );
    
  </script>

Let us know how it goes.
