How to Clear a Cart's Attributes in Shopify

If you're running an online store on Shopify, you might have encountered an issue where your cart retains certain attributes even after you think you've cleared it. This situation can be frustrating, especially if it affects the user experience. In this post, we're going to explore the question: "How can you clear a cart's attributes in Shopify?" Whether you're a developer or a store owner, this guide will provide you with the necessary steps and code snippets to resolve this issue efficiently.

The Problem: Cart Attributes Persisting

When you use the /cart/clear endpoint to clear your cart, it typically removes the products inside it. However, you might notice that the attributes associated with the cart do not get deleted, which might be a recent change in Shopify's handling of cart data or perhaps an unintended bug. Regardless of the reason, it’s crucial to find a workaround so your cart behaves as expected.

The Solution: Clearing Cart Attributes

Method 1: Clear All Attributes

To delete all cart attributes at once, follow the procedure outlined below. While it may seem a bit complex, this method effectively clears all the attributes from your cart.

Make an AJAX GET Request to Retrieve Current Cart Attributes: Use the /cart.js URL to fetch the current cart’s attributes.

Create a Null Object for Attributes: Convert the attributes received into a new object—where each attribute's value is set to null.

POST Update to Clear Attributes: Finally, send a POST request using /cart/update.js with your new object, effectively removing the attributes.

Here's how you can implement this in code:

Method 2: Clear Specific Attributes by Name

If you want to target and clear specific attributes rather than all of them, you can follow this simpler approach. This method allows you to specify which attributes you would like to nullify.

Prepare a Null Hash: Create an object with the names of the attributes you want to clear, assigning each a value of null.

POST Update to Clear Selected Attributes: Use the /cart/update.js URL to send the updated attribute information.

Here’s an example of how to execute this approach in code:
