Owners of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 smartphone often face a situation when, after adding products in an online store, the “Basket” button suddenly disappears or ceases to display in the usual way. This is puzzling, especially if you are used to a certain interface on other devices.
Understanding how to navigate in your browser and various programs will allow you to instantly find your chosen products. In this article, we will examine all possible scenarios, from standard browsers to specific marketplace applications. Intuitive MIUI sometimes hides important elements to save space on the screen.
We'll look at not only standard access paths, but also solve typical problems when the cart icon stops responding to clicks. Redmi Note 7 has a screen diagonal of 6.3 inches, which gives enough space, but site developers often adapt content to narrower formats, hiding secondary elements. Let's figure out where to look for your purchases.
Search for a basket in the standard Chrome browser
The most common way to make purchases is to use the built-in Google Chrome browser. In mobile sites, the menu structure is often different from desktop. Usually, the shopping cart icon is located in the upper right corner of the page, but if it is not visible, try scrolling up the page to the very beginning.
In some cases, the site menu is hidden behind the "Hamburger" button (three horizontal bars). Click on it to reveal the full navigation menu. This is often where the "Baskbasket" or "My Orders" item is hidden.
If you're deep inside a product catalog, the site can automatically hide the header to improve your content experience. Swipe up to return the top bar. Also note the bottom of the screen - some modern online stores are bringing basic features, including a shopping cart, to the bottom navigation bar.
- 🛒 The cart icon is often in the top right corner of the screen in the site header.
- 📂 Check the side menu opened by the three-strip button.
- 👇 Scroll down to the end, sometimes the link is duplicated in the footer.
- 🖱️ On some sites, you need to click on the product thumbnail to see the purchase button.
⚠️ Note: If you have added a product but the counter on the cart icon hasn't updated, try updating the page. On Redmi Note 7, this is done by swiping down the screen or through the browser menu.
💡
Use the full version of the site in your browser if the mobile version is not working correctly. To do this, select the "PC version" option in the Chrome menu.
Features of the Mi Browser and Yandex browser
Many Xiaomi users prefer to use the standard Mi Browser browser or the popular Yandex. In these applications, the logic of displaying elements may differ. Mi Browser often has an “Unlimited Traffic” mode that can block the display of some basket scripts. Try turning off traffic savings in your browser settings.
In Yandex’s browser, there is a Turbo feature that compresses pages to speed up loading, sometimes causing dynamic elements like the shopping cart counter to stop updating in real time. Turn off the turbo mode to make the site work properly.
Also, consider that both browsers have built-in ad blockers. Aggressive blocking can accidentally hide the cart button if it is marked as an ad item. Try temporarily disabling protection or adding the site to exceptions.
| browser | Location of the menu | Possible problem | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chrome | Upper right corner | Caching the old version | Clearing the cache |
| Mi Browser | Bottom panel/Hamburger | Traffic saving regime | Turn off the savings |
| Yandex | Top line | Ad-blocker | Add to exceptions |
| Safari (iOS) | Lower bar | Not applicable. | Not applicable. |
The basket in the applications of marketplaces
When shopping through official apps like AliExpress, Wildberries or Ozon, the shopping cart is more explicitly accessed, usually a separate tab in the bottom navigation menu, but on Redmi Note 7, due to the specific screen resolution, the bottom bar can be overlaid with the Home button or swipe.
If you don't see the cart icon in the app, check to see if the system has Full Screen View mode for that particular application. Go to Settings → Screen → Full Screen Mode and make sure the application works correctly. Sometimes the MIUI system shell hides the bottom elements of the interface.
In some applications, the shopping cart is only available after logging in. If you are logged in as a guest, the system may not display the ability to save goods, register or log in to your account to gain full access to the functionality.
- 📱 The bottom navigation bar is the standard place for a basket in applications.
- 👤 Check the authorization status, the shopping cart may be hidden to guests.
- 🔄 Update the app via Google Play or GetApps to the latest version.
- 🚫 Turn off the store’s “Energy Savings” mode to keep background processes running.
☑️ Diagnostics of the annex
Problems with displaying the basket icon
There are situations where technically the shopping cart exists, but visually it does not appear on the screen of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7. This is often due to crowded browser cache.
To solve the problem, go to Settings → Apps → All apps. Find your browser or store app. Select Memory and click Clear Cache. Don't confuse Clear All with Lose Your Saved Passwords and Logins.
Another reason could be the scaling of fonts in the system, and if you set up a large font for ease of reading, the interface elements of the site can move beyond the visible area. Try to temporarily reduce the font size in the screen settings.
⚠️ Attention: Clearing the data (not the cache, but the data) will result in a complete reset of the application. You will log out of all accounts.

Alternative ways of accessing goods
If standard methods don't help you log into the cart on the Redmi Note 7, there are workarounds. Many sites allow you to view the contents of the cart through your personal account. Find a profile icon (human or avatar), enter the "Orders" or "Favorites" section.
You can also use the Google Assistant voice assistant, and try saying, "Open the cart [site name]." Sometimes the system finds a deep link to the desired section bypassing the main screen.
As a last resort, use the desktop version of the site. From the browser menu, select "Pak Version." The interface will change, and the basket button will appear in the usual place in the upper right corner, like on the computer.
- 👤 Personal account often contains a section with active orders and basket.
- 🗣️ Google voice search can open the right page directly.
- 💻 Switching to the full version of the site solves 90% of problems with layout.
💡
The most reliable way to avoid display issues is to use the official store app instead of a browser.
Configure the MIUI interface for convenient purchases
The MIUI shell on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 offers tools to improve navigation. Include Quick Apps in the menu of recent tasks. This will keep stores and browsers running in the background, keeping the state of the cart.
It's also useful to adjust the controls. Switching to gesture control instead of three buttons at the bottom frees up about 40 pixels of usable screen space, which can be critical for sites where the basket button is at the bottom.
Don’t forget to update your system software. Xiaomi engineers regularly release security patches and improve compatibility with web standards. Check for updates in Settings → About the phone.
⚠️ Warning: When installing system updates, make sure the battery is above 50%. interruption of the upgrade process may cause the smartphone to fail.
