I know that this post is old but I found a snippet that actually works, maybe someone can be useful.

function edd_empty_cart_redirect() {
    $cart       = function_exists( 'edd_get_cart_contents' ) ? edd_get_cart_contents() : false;
    $redirect   = site_url( 'shop' ); // could be the URL to your shop

    if ( function_exists( 'edd_is_checkout' ) && edd_is_checkout() && ! $cart ) {
        wp_redirect( $redirect, 301 ); 
        exit;
    }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'edd_empty_cart_redirect' );

WooCommerce already redirect checkout to cart page if there are not products in cart, but you can change that and redirect to your custom page:

function wc_custom_template_redirect(){
    global $wp_query, $wp;
    // When on the checkout with an empty cart, redirect to cart page.
    if ( is_page( wc_get_page_id( 'checkout' ) ) && wc_get_page_id( 'checkout' ) !== wc_get_page_id( 'cart' ) && WC()->cart->is_empty() && empty( $wp->query_vars['order-pay'] ) && ! isset( $wp->query_vars['order-received'] ) && ! is_customize_preview() && apply_filters( 'woocommerce_checkout_redirect_empty_cart', true ) ) {
        $page_id = 62;
        wp_redirect( get_the_permalink( $page_id ) );
        exit;
    }

}
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'wc_custom_template_redirect', 0 );

Make sure the $page_id reflects ID of the page you want to redirect to.

can you please customise the code which will work with the easy digital download? — Iftikhar Alam, Jun 10 '19 at 19:17
