What it does
On a standard WooCommerce store, shoppers often have to hunt for the cart page to check what they have added or to head to checkout. This plugin puts a floating cart on every page of the store, so the cart contents are always one click away. Because the cart updates through AJAX, products appear in it as soon as they are added, and the page stays where it is. The layout is responsive, so it adapts to desktop screens and mobile devices alike.
The plugin is built to work with how WooCommerce already handles products. It supports WooCommerce AJAX add to cart, variable products and custom product order data, so items with options or extra inputs show up correctly. Taxes and shipping costs are calculated and displayed in the cart, giving shoppers a clear picture of what they will pay. From there, a checkout option lets them go straight to the checkout page. It suits store owners who want a quicker path from browsing to buying.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores that want an always-visible cart
- Shops selling variable or customizable products
- Store owners with many mobile shoppers
