Shopping cart icon module

On some online stores there is a module that provides an icon linking to the shopping cart and showing the total amount of the items already on the cart. They look like this:

Is there such a feature available for Hikashop?

Hi,

Yes. You can do that with the HikaShop cart module.
Configure it to display in "mini cart" mode with only the price displayed and you'll have something similar to your screenshot, minus the cart icon. And the cart icon can be added to that HikaShop cart module with a bit of CSS or translation overrides:

On my site, the HikaShop Cart module goes to the checkout, not the cart.

Hi,

That's correct, the cart module's link will go to the checkout not the cart details page.
You have two solutions to change that:
- You can modify your checkout workflow to have only the cart view on the first step of your checkout in the HikaShop configuration. In that case, the first page of the checkout will only have the cart, and will be similar to the cart details page.
- You can edit the file product / cart.php via the menu Display>Views and change the URL of that link to your cart details page. You can just add such line at the beginning:

How can I modify your checkout workflow to have only the cart view on the first step of your checkout in the HikaShop configuration?

Hello,

To do that, you'll have to edit your checkout workflow via "Hikashop->System->Configuration->Checkout" and make sure you only have the "Cart" through your checkout workflow's first step.

Kind regards,
Mohamed.

I couldn't work out what to do following your previous instructions. Here's the relevant screen. What do I need to change?

Hi,

I would recommend you to first read this tutorial which explains how to modify your checkout workflow:
