Found a solution using Ajaxify cart (https://help.shopify.com/themes/customization/products/add-to-cart/stay-on-product-page-when-items-added-to-cart)
To get this to work with Slate, you need to follow the instructions and make a few changes once they are all followed. Here's what I did.
I had to take all the jQuery in the script tags and place it in a new file under scripts > vendor > vendor.js

$.extend(_config, params);
// Action
$(function() {
_init();
});
},
getConfig: function() {
return _config;
}
}
})(jQuery);
Shopify.AjaxifyCart.init();
Next I made sure that this file was being called to the main vendor.js file using this code in scripts > vendor.js
/*!
* ajaxify-cart.js
*/
// =require vendor/ajaxify-cart.js
Last thing I had to do was edit out the liquid markup that was in the ajaxify-cart.js file. Since it is a .js file the liquid markup was making it malfunction. Here's the lines where I replaced liquid markup:
if (newCurrency) {
$(_config.cartTotalSelector).html('<span class=money>' + Shopify.formatMoney(Currency.convert(cart.total_price, "CAD", newCurrency), Currency.money_format[newCurrency]) + '</span>');
}
else {
$(_config.cartTotalSelector).html(Shopify.formatMoney(cart.total_price));
}
}
else {
$(_config.cartTotalSelector).html(Shopify.formatMoney(cart.total_price));
}
It's a bit hacky but so far it is working with my slate theme.
I'm open to suggestions for improvement. Thanks.
