No configuration is required actually.

The cart icon will be automatically displayed on all pages, except the checkout page.

The sidebar will open up when the user adds a product to the cart from the shop page or individual product page. All via AJAX…no refresh, thus speeding up the checkout process.

Your customers can also click on the shopping cart icon, to open up the sidebar cart pop-up to review their cart items.

On the side cart widget, your customers can –

  • View all coupons applied
  • Add a new coupon, remove a coupon
  • Modify product quantity
  • Delete product
  • View product price, subtotal, shipping cost, taxes, total
  • View notices like ‘coupon code applied successfully’, ‘can’t add more quantity of products’, etc. based on action taken.
  • Call to action button – link to the shop page or WooCommerce checkout page

This option helps users to access their cart from anywhere on the site, reducing the checkout time and increasing conversions.
