Checkout page redirect to cart page

[tony_le3]

When users go to /checkout, they will be redirected to /checkout/cart.

1. Go to domain.com/checkout --> it will redirect them to /checkout/cart because there is no product

2. Add any product

3. Go to domain.com/checkout

4. User will be redirect to /checkout/cart

When looking at the Network from Chrome, the /checkout page was served by disk cache and redirect to cart.

Magento 2.3.2

PHP 7.2

MySQL 5.7

Using Built-In Cache

Sorry to necro, did you ever come across a fix for this?

I am currently having  the same problem except it is for mobile devices ONLY.

I can add a product, go the basket, click continue to checkout and the page will not reload, just load a blank themed checkout without redirecting.

Clicking on the continue to checkout button should go to /checkout/#shipping

Hello @tony_le3 

Magento’s checkout flow checks specific conditions before allowing access to the /checkout page:

Empty Cart Check: If the cart is empty, Magento redirects users to /checkout/cart.

Session Validation: Magento validates the user’s session to ensure that the cart and customer session data are valid.

Frontend Caching: Your browser might cache the redirect response, causing subsequent visits to /checkout to bypass Magento logic and immediately redirect to /checkout/cart.

Customizations: If there are customizations or third-party modules modifying checkout behavior, they might introduce additional conditions for redirection.

How to Fix or Adjust the Behavior

            Disable Browser Cache During Testing: Since the /checkout page might be cached in the browser, clear the cache or disable caching for accurate testing:

Debug the Magento Logic for Checkout Redirection

              Magento’s checkout controller includes logic for redirection. To debug:

Open Magento\Checkout\Controller\Index\Index.php.

Locate the execute() method, which handles the request.

             Cart validation:

if (!$this->checkoutSession->getQuote()->hasItems() || $this->checkoutSession->getQuote()->getHasError()) 
{ 
   $this->logger->debug('Redirecting to cart: no items or quote error.');

   $this->_redirect('checkout/cart');
    return; 
} 

Hope it helps !

It is like the system is treating an empty cart scenario the same as a checkout attempt, even when there’s a product. Have you checked if there’s a caching issue or a misconfiguration in the redirect logic? Maybe clearing the cache or downlaod honista reviewing the conditions for the redirect could help.
