Wishlist - cart popup appears with link to checkout (March 2026)

Summary

If you are seeing a cart popup when products are added to the wishlist, please follow the instructions in this guide to disable the popup.

In March 2026, Squarespace introduced a new cart confirmation popup that appears whenever a product or service is added to the cart. This popup is not currently suitable for sites using the Wishlist plugin because it contains a Checkout button that allows customers to proceed directly to the Squarespace checkout, bypassing the wishlist process.

Why we currently recommend disabling it

At the moment, the popup is controlled entirely by Squarespace and does not provide reliable ways for plugins to customise the wording or behaviour. This means the popup will continue to display cart-based messaging such as "View Cart" and "Checkout", which does not reflect how the Wishlist plugin works. 

How to remove the popup

The popup can be disabled by adding the following text to the Custom CSS panel on your website:

/* Hide mini cart popup */
.commerce-mini-cart {
  display: none !important;
}

After saving the changes, the popup should no longer appear on your site.

Future plans

We plan to support this popup in a future version of the Wishlist plugin. However, we are currently waiting for Squarespace to introduce the necessary developer hooks that will allow us to safely customise the popup.

Customers with a support subscription

Customers with a Wishlist support subscription, who provided us with access to their site, should not experience this issue. We proactively update subscribers’ websites whenever updates are necessary. No additional manual effort is required by subscribers.
