Move Add to Cart button above product description - Pipeline 4

Note: If you're running Pipeline 4.3 or higher, this feature is already included in the theme, no code changes are required:
Pipeline 4.3 New Features

With the introduction of Pipeline 4, the position of Add to Cart button becomes easier to move manually in the code.

How to:

Always make a duplicate of your theme before adding any code. This will save you if anything goes wrong or if you decide not to use the added code in the future. We can not support or be responsible of any code changes that you make to your theme. For that reason, save yourself and make a duplicate first.

Make a duplicate before any code changes:

Next, open the Code Editor:

From your list of themes, find the Actions link for the theme you'd like to edit. Then select Edit code. Example draft theme:

Example if you're working from your main live/published theme:

When you find the line (usually Line 144), you will cut that line out to move it.

Example after:

Save the changes.

Now the Add to Cart button with other form elements will be positioned above the Product description and below the product title. 


Optional: Add extra space above the product description

If you find that moving the Add to Cart button has caused your product description to start immediately after, you can add this line of code to help push the product description lower.

Code:

/* -- code to add padding after add to cart button -- */
#AddToCartForm-product {margin-bottom: 1rem;}
/* - end - */

If you need more room, increase the value of 1rem; to 2rem; or 1.5rem;

Where to add the code:

From the Assets folder, open theme.scss.liquid:

Add the code to the very bottom of the file on a new line after all other code. Make a couple blank lines before pasting the code snippet. 

Example:

Save the file after adding your code.
