Can you please check this? thanks Giuse")* Hi, Yes, that's normal. The cart display view, and the checkout view are meant to display supposing that the cart is not empty. So when the cart is empty, they need to redirect elsewhere. If you don't enter a URL in the "URL where to redirect when the cart is empty" setting, HikaShop will automatically redirect to a products listing so I recommend entering there the main URL of your shop. That's what merchants usually do.

Can you please check this? thanks Giuse")* Thanks Nicolas, but the behavior is a little different: 1) I create a "Cart" menu item and leave empty the "redirect when cart empty" parameter in HikaShop. 2) In the front-end, clicking on that menu item will redirect to the shop => some SEO tools notice a 301 redirect problem since the menu link does not point directly to the destination page (that's one problem). 3) I add a product to my cart, then the "Cart" menu item will not redirect and I can see my cart. 4) Now I remove the product from the cart, the cart is empty => the "Cart" menu item is still usable, it will not redirect to the shop even if the cart is empty, most probably since a cart was created althought without any product. I think this is not very consistent and why not leaving the administrator the option of not redirecting the cart even if empty? Since there is an option, when the option value is empty the redirect should be disabled in my opinion.

I agree that it's a bit inconsistent with when the cart has not been created yet. We'll change that up for the next version to make it consistent and add a hidden option to be able to change the behavior of the system (redirect or not when the cart is empty on the cart page).

Go in your PHPMyAdmin, open the hikashop_config table, and add a new entry with the namekey cart_show_page_redirect_on_empty and the value 0 and it won't redirect you when you try to access the cart page and you have an empty cart.

Can you please check this? thanks Giuse")* Hi, What you're describing as the "shopping cart" is not the shopping cart page. It's the checkout page. The checkout page can only be accessed with a cart. If you empty the cart from the checkout you will be redirected, there is no way around this. The cart_show_page_redirect_on_empty hidden parameter is for the cart page. You can see it on this page for example: [ yourwebsite.ir/%D9%85%D8%AD%D8%B5%D9%88%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AA/cart](https://yourwebsite.ir/%D9%85%D8%AD%D8%B5%D9%88%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AA/cart) And I can confirm that on this page of your website, if I empty my cart, I'm not redirected and I stay on this page. So the feature I talked about on this thread with @Giuse is working on your website too. It's just not what you thought it was.
