A flexible cart without the usual cart page
Side Cart Pro adds a sliding cart to WooCommerce so shoppers can review and manage their selections without leaving the page they are browsing. The cart can show live information, support direct product changes, and provide a faster path toward checkout.
Customers can see real-time subtotal updates, add or remove items, adjust quantities, and review detailed totals. The side cart can also show taxes, fees, and discounts, giving shoppers a clearer view of the order before they continue.
Cart controls and checkout
Side Cart Pro lets customers manage product quantities directly inside the cart. Coupons can be applied from the side cart, with available coupon codes shown for quick activation. The cart can also display upcoming coupons, giving shoppers a way to see potential savings while deciding what to add.
One-click checkout options are available for PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, and Amazon. These options are intended to reduce lengthy form-filling by giving customers a direct checkout route from the side cart.
Recommendations and purchase incentives
You can add related products, upsells, cross-sells, or custom products to the side cart. Shoppers can add these recommendations without leaving the current page. The recommendation area supports three presentation styles: drawer, slider, and column. You can set how many products are shown and customize their appearance.
The rewards and checkpoints feature can display multiple progress bars for incentives such as free gifts, discounts, and free shipping. Progress can be based on the cart total or the number of items in the cart, helping customers understand how close they are to an available reward.
Shipping and saved items
The built-in shipping calculator lets customers update their shipping location directly from the side cart and view the resulting shipping fee. This means shipping information can be calculated without requiring a separate cart page.
With Save for Later, shoppers can move products from the active cart into a personalized saved list. Items remain organized and available to return to later, which is useful for customers who are still comparing products or deciding what to purchase.
Design and display settings
Side Cart Pro provides customization options for the cart layout and appearance. You can choose among different cart icons, set the cart width and height, adjust colors, and select a drawer, slider, or column layout where supported. The cart can be disabled on pages where it is not needed. A floating basket can display the number of items and can also be integrated into the site menu.
Cart notifications can provide real-time messages when the cart changes, keeping shoppers informed after additions, removals, or other updates.
Installation and setup
Install the paid plugin on your WooCommerce website and open its settings in the WordPress admin area. Choose the cart icon, layout, dimensions, colors, and display locations. Then configure quantities, checkout options, coupons, recommendations, shipping calculation, rewards, saved items, and notifications according to your store’s workflow. Review the cart on product and shopping pages before making it available to customers.
