Redirect from "/cart"

Hello.

Client is not using this function so would like this url to redirect to home, however it's not working.

I have this in URL mappings:

https://www.opsishealth.com/cart -> https://www.opsishealth.com/ 301

Also have tried relative urls, but they aren't doing anything either.

Maybe this page can't be redirected? I don't see it listed within my list of pages.

I think I am missing something simple.

Thanks for any advice.

That is what I needed. Thank you for your help!

As @paul2009 mentions the cart page can't be removed. However with JavaScript it is possible to redirect the cart to another URL. You have to be on a plan that allows JavaScript to run on your site.

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

<script>

  ( ( ) => {
  
    /*
    
      cart page redirect to url
      
      Version     : 0.1.0
      
      SS Versions : 7.1, 7.0
      
      By          : Thomas Creedon < http://www.tomsWeb.consulting/ >
      
      */
      
    const url = '[enter url here between single quotes replacing square brackets]';
    
    // do not change anything below, there be the borg here
    
    if ( location.pathname != '/cart' ) return; // bail if not cart page
    
    location.href = url;
    
    } ) ( );
    
  </script>

Let us know how it goes.

Hi guys.. I have a Commerce site for my artwork, but I do not want the shopping bag icon or checkout page AT ALL. I would prefer for customers to send me a form inquiring about artwork purchases instead of checking out via my page. How do I redirect my Shopping Bag icon (that I can't seem to fully remove no matter what code I use) to redirect to a contact/form page on Squarespace?

Please post the URL for a page on your site where we can see your issue.

A link to the backend of the your site won’t work for us, i.e. a url that contains /config/.

Please set up a site-wide password, if your site is not public and you've not already done so.

Post the password here.

Adding a site-wide password does not allow anyone to alter your site. It only allows those with the password to see your site.

Please read the site-wide password and how to share a link documentation to understand how they work.

We can then take a look at your issue.

As much as the extension would be helpful.. I am broke. I need to sell some artwork before purchasing more from Squarespace... thanks. A code would be more helpful. I really need a code to redirect my 'add to cart' button to my contact page. I really need my 'add to cart' button' to go elsewhere but the checkout page

Hi Creedon - I've sent a DM regarding my issues. Hoping that may be quicker and easier for me. Thank you!

Hi Creedon - please can you help me?

Please, if anyone can you help me... this is my business to help me with a financial crisis from the pandemic. Squarespace agents will not help me. This one redirect is preventing my website from being functional. please help me. I am frustrated and overwhelmed... all i want is a redirect code. please

Just as you charge for your paintings, I think it is fair to expect the developers to charge for the complicated code they write.  They need to earn a living from their work too, right?

If you need a free suggestion....why not create a contact form on a new page and then link to it from each product description? People can then contact you with ease.

HI @creedon Thank you so much for posting this javascript code injection solution. I was able to use this to redirect from the 'cart' page/button, but i can't get this approach to work to redirect from the 'checkout'/purchase button on the product page . This is more important as for me, when you are on the product/service page and you click the button to purchase (which ordinarily takes you to the SSL checkout), because this is the main call to action on the page and most people wont actually be using the cart button.

i did actually modify the code below where you had your if statement because i noticed that the url on the checkout pages always create a unique URL that always begins with 'checkout' but then allows for a specific instance of purchasing the product, so i figured the include() function would help here.  i know that the syntax works because i tested this format with with '/cart' instead of '/checkout' and it was functional, but for some reason this doesnt actually work when it comes to redirecting the checkout pages.

any ideas here why this code works with the cart page but not the checkout pages?

snippet:

    if ( location.pathname.includes('/checkout') ) location.href = url; // bail if not cart page
    return;

Custom code is not loaded for the /checkout page. It is a SS security feature.
