WooCommerce: Add Continue Shopping Button on Cart Page

gistfile1.php

<?php

/**
* Add Continue Shopping Button on Cart Page
* Add to theme functions.php file or Code Snippets plugin
*/

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_cart_table', 'woo_add_continue_shopping_button_to_cart' );

function woo_add_continue_shopping_button_to_cart() {
 $shop_page_url = get_permalink( woocommerce_get_page_id( 'shop' ) );
 
 echo '<div class="woocommerce-message">';
 echo ' <a href="'.$shop_page_url.'" class="button">Continue Shopping →</a> Would you like some more goods?';
 echo '</div>';
}

Simple and works! Thanks for sharing.

Can you please tell me how I can this button on the Checkout page?

For Cart & Checkout:

<?php
/**
* Add Continue Shopping Button on Cart Page & Checkout page
* Add to theme functions.php file or Code Snippets plugin
*/
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_cart_table', 'woo_add_continue_shopping_button_to_cart' );
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_checkout_form', 'woo_add_continue_shopping_button_to_cart' );

function woo_add_continue_shopping_button_to_cart() {
 $shop_page_url = get_permalink( wc_get_page_id( 'shop' ) );
 
 echo '<div class="woocommerce-message">';
 echo ' <a href="'.$shop_page_url.'" class="button">Continue Shopping →</a> Would you like some more goods?';
 echo '</div>';
}

Hi. Thanks for the code. Let's take it up a notch. How do you change the "Continue Shopping" URL instead of taking the user to the default Shop page, but to a different page, like Shop2 page?

Excellent. Thank you for posting this. Very helpful. And Smyczek, thank you for your addition.

Terrific. This is a big help. Thank you for posting this! 👍

Thank you bradleysa, this has been very helpful. Is there a way to make the button get the search page with your last searched results, instead of just the search page, in both the Cart and Checkout pages? I've been looking everywhere and i can't seem to figure it out. Thnx again.

Very helpful.

Thank you so much! Worked like a charm!

This still works and is still useful - and appreciated - just so you know. Thanks. Raymond

Thank you so much!

I was looking for hours to this, and it worked perfectly!

On Woocomerce higher than 3.0 this throws a notice, instead of woocommerce_get_page_id you can use wc_get_page_id to make it go away

thanx alot.

Fantastic!!! Thank's a lot :-)

Brilliant.

Genius! Than you!

Thank you so much :-)

Thanks a lot it is PERFECT!!!
Just one question is it possible to set the button just after the "APPLY COUPON" button?
Thank you in advance.

So, I put this in, and it adds the text but the link doesnt work? advice?

this code is working nicely but the "continue shopping" button disappears when I click the "Update cart" button, Is there a way to fix it?

Nice! Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Hard to believe that WooCommerce doesn't automatically add this functionality. Thank you so much!

Thanks so much for this!

I figured out how to change a couple of things:

1. Custom Shop URL
2. Move button to below the order summary
   woocommerce_after_cart_table instead of woocommerce_before_cart_table
3. Restyled

/**

• Add Continue Shopping Button on Cart Page
• Add to theme functions.php file or Code Snippets plugin
  */

add_action( 'woocommerce_after_cart_table', 'woo_add_continue_shopping_button_to_cart' );

function woo_add_continue_shopping_button_to_cart() {
$shop_page_url = home_url( '/negozio/' );

echo '

';
echo ' prosegui con gli acquisti';
echo '

';
}

Worked perfect, Thank you 😍👌

Its Works

That works perfect. Thank you very much for this snippet!

Still works like a charm. :)

Thanks ! Still good in 2021.
I'm no coder, but tweaked this slightly - plain button underneath cart, plus 'message' button above checkout.

/**
* Add Continue Shopping Button on Cart (& checkout) Page
*/

add_action( 'woocommerce_after_cart_table', 'woo_add_continue_shopping_button_to_cart' );

function woo_add_continue_shopping_button_to_cart() {
 $shop_page_url = get_permalink( woocommerce_get_page_id( 'shop' ) );
 
 echo '<div class="">';
 echo ' <a href="'.$shop_page_url.'" class="button">Continue Shopping</a>';
 echo '</div>';
}

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_checkout_form', 'woo_add_continue_shopping_button_to_checkout' );

function woo_add_continue_shopping_button_to_checkout() {
 $shop_page_url = get_permalink( wc_get_page_id( 'shop' ) );
 
 echo '<div class="woocommerce-message">';
 echo ' <a href="'.$shop_page_url.'" class="button">Continue Shopping</a> Not finished shopping ?';
 echo '</div>';
}

Thank you for the code @bradleysa and the update @photoMaldives

I went ahead and adjusted based on a bunch of various resources.

// Add continue shopping button to Single product page, Cart page and Checkout page.

/* Single product
https://www.businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-continue-shopping-button-single-product-page/
https://www.businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-visual-hook-guide-single-product-page/ */

add_action( 'woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_button', 'continue_shopping_button_to_single_product' );
function continue_shopping_button_to_single_product() {
 $shop_page_url = get_permalink( woocommerce_get_page_id( 'shop' ) );
 echo ' <a class="continue button" href="'.$shop_page_url.'">Continue Shopping</a>';

}

/* Cart

add_action( 'woocommerce_cart_actions', 'continue_shopping_button_to_cart' );
function continue_shopping_button_to_cart() {
 $shop_page_url = get_permalink( woocommerce_get_page_id( 'shop' ) );
 echo ' <a class="continue button" href="'.$shop_page_url.'">Continue Shopping</a>';

}

/* Checkout
https://www.businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-visual-hook-guide-checkout-page/ 
https://gist.github.com/bradleysa/7d1448253097784daf94 */

add_action( 'woocommerce_review_order_before_submit', 'continue_shopping_button_to_checkout' );
function continue_shopping_button_to_checkout() {
 $shop_page_url = get_permalink( wc_get_page_id( 'shop' ) );
echo ' <a class="continue button" href="'.$shop_page_url.'">Continue Shopping</a>';

}

CSS class continue button:

a.button.continue {
	background-color: var(--wp--preset--color--primary) !important;
	padding: 0.8rem 1rem !important;
        border: 2px solid #ebe9eb !important;
        margin: 0;
	color: #fff !important;
}

I noticed I had to add in the !important tag on most of the code to get it to work.
I am tested with the theme Twenty Twenty Two.

Let me know of any adjustments that would be helpful to do.

Thanks ! Still good in 2021. I'm no coder, but tweaked this slightly - plain button underneath cart, plus 'message' button above checkout.

/**
* Add Continue Shopping Button on Cart (& checkout) Page
*/

add_action( 'woocommerce_after_cart_table', 'woo_add_continue_shopping_button_to_cart' );

function woo_add_continue_shopping_button_to_cart() {
 $shop_page_url = get_permalink( woocommerce_get_page_id( 'shop' ) );
 
 echo '<div class="">';
 echo ' <a href="'.$shop_page_url.'" class="button">Continue Shopping</a>';
 echo '</div>';
}

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_checkout_form', 'woo_add_continue_shopping_button_to_checkout' );

function woo_add_continue_shopping_button_to_checkout() {
 $shop_page_url = get_permalink( wc_get_page_id( 'shop' ) );
 
 echo '<div class="woocommerce-message">';
 echo ' <a href="'.$shop_page_url.'" class="button">Continue Shopping</a> Not finished shopping ?';
 echo '</div>';
}

Everything I've tried from this thread works but I was wondering how to keep the button on the cart page the same way but have "continue shopping" show in the "have a coupon click here to enter your code" button instead of below it like the code above has it?

Awesome!!!!
