Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
Two things i noticed on Kickstart 2:
first:
The Link to the shopping Cart top right is named Checkout, which is not really correct.
i'd expect "Show Cart" or "Cart".
This gets worse once in the cart, as the real Checkout-button has a great similarity.
No big deal, but still...
second:
after adding an item to the cart, the "Empty" text top-right turns from black
to a light-blue "1 Item", the standard link color in kickstart's css.
But that text is not turning into a Link!
I'd expect the whole cart-block to turn into a cart-link, or always be one.

vasikethis is done intentionally in Commerce Kickstart Order module
Comment #3
sirtetthanks.
hmm, any insight behind the reasoning on that?
and what about the link-color on the item-count, without being a link?

storytellerjeff CreditAttribution: storytellerjeff commentedI think Sirtet has a point and this might be a great feature request (marking as such).
I just got a bit of real-world feedback from a couple of customers that I wanted to pass along about this (always a good idea to listen to our customers :). They emailed me to report a bug, because when they clicked the Checkout button, they expected to be taken to the 1st step of the checkout (rather than the cart page - they were looking for a way to jump right into the checkout from whatever page they were on). As well, they thought that the cart image (picto_cart.png) in the background was a clickable link which would take them to the cart page (and they assumed it was broken). Interesting feedback.
I would also add that having the blue link color Quantity summary should also be a link to the Cart Page (as you might expect with it using the site's link color - as Sirtet mentioned). I messed around in the Shopping Cart view trying to make this work but didn't have any luck.
Here's the feature request:
Perhaps the "Checkout" link could lead directly to the Checkout/*/checkout page - and allow the customer to begin checking out? That page already has a cart summary built in, so the customer is still getting a chance to see what they have selected, they just get to start checking out quicker (always a good idea). And then the Cart symbol in the block could lead to the cart page?
P.S. And the add-to-cart notification message also has "Go to Checkout" but takes you to the cart. Another module, I know, but thought I'd mention that as an additional feature request.

stanb CreditAttribution: stanb commentedFor Commerce Kickstart 7.x-2.11, the Checkout button link (top right) can be "re-linked" by clicking the contextual link to the right of the Checkout link to edit the view.
In the view, under "Footer", click "Commerce Line Item: Line item summary". Under Links, uncheck "Checkout" and check "View cart".
Another huge (IMHO) UX issue is that the Checkout button should be both at the top and bottom of the shopping cart form.
I've kludged this by adding a Header to the "Shopping cart form" view as a Global text area:
<a class=mycheckout href=checkout>CHECKOUT</a>
and setting Text Format to Full HTML. Adding a class will hopefully allow me to position the link where I want it and style it.
Yikes! There's got to be a better way!

lsolesen CreditAttribution: lsolesen commentedOne problem is also that if Checkout does not go for the cart, it is really strange on an empty cart. I agree that checkout should go to checkout and the cart should be linked. However, I cannot find a clever way to link the cart button.
