Overview

About this plugin

Try the live demo and add a product to see the cart drawer in action.

CartPops adds a slide-out side cart to your WooCommerce store, so shoppers no longer have to visit the cart page. Shoppers add a product, see their cart slide in, change quantities, apply a coupon and head straight to checkout, all without a page reload.

The drawer is light: no jQuery, and its styles and scripts only load where they are needed. It works with block themes, classic themes and the popular page builders.

What you get for free

  • Slide-out side cart. The cart drawer opens as an add to cart popup when a product is added, including from the product page, or only when the shopper clicks the cart. Quantities, removals, totals and coupons update in place.
  • Floating cart launcher. A floating cart icon with a live item count, like a mini cart that is always in reach. Place it anywhere with the Cart Launcher block or the [cartpops_launcher] shortcode, or let it appear automatically.
  • Upsells and cross-sells. Suggest products inside the drawer from your cross-sells, upsells or related products, with a random fallback so the section is never empty.
  • Coupon form. Shoppers apply and remove coupons right in the drawer. On small phone screens it folds into a “Have a coupon?” link.
  • Design that matches your store. Start from a preset, then fine-tune 24+ colors, separate dark mode colors, button text and layout with a live preview. Add your own CSS when you need it.
  • Blocks and classic themes. Cart Drawer and Cart Launcher blocks for the Site Editor, and automatic rendering on classic themes.
  • Settings import and export. Copy your setup from a staging site to your live store in a few clicks.

What Pro adds

CartPops Pro turns the drawer into a place where orders grow.

  • Free shipping bar and rewards. A progress bar shows how close the shopper is to free shipping, read straight from your WooCommerce shipping zones. Add reward tiers that unlock a discount or a free gift as the cart grows.
  • Shipping calculator. Shoppers can estimate shipping inside the drawer.
  • Bundle builder. Offer “frequently bought together” products with an automatic bundle discount.
  • Smart add-ons. Offer extras such as shipping protection, gift wrapping or priority handling, added to the order as a fee.
  • Smart Bar. Show messages, a cart expiry timer or a product spotlight at the top of the drawer, based on cart total, products or categories.
  • Hand-picked recommendations. Choose exactly which products to recommend, in your own order.
  • Conversion analytics. See what the drawer, bundles, add-ons and Smart Bar add to your revenue.
  • Second drawer button. Add a “Continue shopping”, “View cart” or custom link next to Checkout.
  • Elementor cart widget. Place the launcher with Elementor.

Every Pro plan includes every Pro feature. Plans differ only in the number of sites.
