    Hi,

    How can I change the function of the add to cart and buy now buttons? (see picture)
    I prefer to add products to the cart with the add to cart button but not (re)direct the customer to the cart and with the but now button I want tot direct customers to the cart instead of going to the pay-section.

    Dear @Jacomijn,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    To modify the functionality of the “Add to Cart” and “Buy Now” buttons as per your preferences, you may need to make some adjustments either through the theme settings or by using custom code.

    1. To prevent the “Add to Cart” button from redirecting to the cart page:
    – Navigate to Theme Options > WooCommerce > Shop > Shop Page Layout (or similar, depending on your theme version).
    – Look for the option labeled “Redirect to the cart page after successful addition” and disable it.

    2. To change the behavior of the “Buy Now” button so that it redirects to the cart page instead of the checkout:
    – This may require custom development. By default, the “Buy Now” button is designed to take users directly to the checkout page.
    – You can override this behavior by customizing the button’s action using a child theme or a custom plugin. If you’re not familiar with coding, we recommend consulting a developer or reaching out to our customization team for assistance.

    Please let us know if you need further guidance or if you would like help implementing these changes.

    Best Regards,
    8Theme’s Team

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. I would like to get help with changing these functionalities.

    The solution 1 is not to be found in my theme options. And for solution 2. I need support anyhow. So if there is someone of 8theme that can do these small changes that would be great. Can you sent one of the customization theam members this request or how to proceed?

    Regards

    Dear @Jacomijn,

    1. Kindly navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Products tab, as shown in the following screenshot: https://prnt.sc/zWJo0SRyE-zC

    2. Please note that implementing the requested changes would require extensive customization, which falls outside the scope of the standard support services we provide. As an alternative, if you wish to redirect the cart page, we recommend removing the “Buy Now” button and using only the “Add to Cart” button. You may refer to the following screenshot for guidance: https://prnt.sc/NaTNuq84l26U

    Best regards,
    The 8Theme Team
