Hi GenerateSupport,

May you please share function snippet to change icon URL?

Right now it goes to http://10.0.0.103:8261/cart/ but I desire “checkout” instead like ⟶ http://10.0.0.103:8261/CHECKOUT/

Hi there,

Can you try this?

add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_cart_url', 'tu_custom_cart_url' );
function tu_custom_cart_url() {
    return 'URL TO YOUR CHECKOUT';
}

If anyone else needs, here is working version

add_action( 'template_redirect', function() {
    // Don't redirect if coming from checkout
    $referer = wp_get_referer();
    $is_from_checkout = $referer && strpos( $referer, 'checkout' ) !== false;
    
    if ( is_cart() && ! $is_from_checkout ) {
        if ( WC()->cart->is_empty() ) {
            wp_safe_redirect( get_permalink( wc_get_page_id( 'shop' ) ) );
            exit();
        } else {
            wp_safe_redirect( 'http://10.0.0.103:8261/checkout/' );
            exit();
        }
    }
});

* Cart is empty + cart icon clicked → Redirect to shop
* Cart has items + cart icon clicked → Redirect to checkout
* “Return to cart” clicked from checkout → Shows the cart page normally (no redirect loop)
