Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity.

Overview

About this plugin

Sticky WooCommerce Header Cart adds a responsive sticky purchase bar to WooCommerce single-product pages.

When the main WooCommerce purchase area scrolls out of view, the plugin can keep important product information and the purchase action visible at the top or bottom of the screen.

0 is a complete modernization of the original Sticky WooCommerce Header Cart plugin.

Why use a sticky purchase bar?

Long product pages often contain galleries, descriptions, specifications, reviews, related products, and other content. As shoppers move down the page, the normal Add to Cart area may no longer be visible.

Sticky WooCommerce Header Cart keeps the purchase action accessible without requiring theme template edits.

Smart display modes

Choose how the sticky bar becomes visible:

After main cart leaves view

The sticky bar stays hidden while the normal WooCommerce purchase form is visible. It appears after that purchase area scrolls above the viewport.

After scroll distance

Show the sticky bar after the visitor scrolls a configurable number of pixels.

Product-aware purchasing

Simple products

Purchasable simple products can display quantity and Add to Cart controls directly in the sticky bar.

Variable products

Before a variation is selected, the sticky bar displays a Choose options action.

After WooCommerce detects a valid variation selection, the sticky bar can reflect the selected variation price and product state. The shopper remains connected to WooCommerce’s main variation form so required attributes and WooCommerce validation are not bypassed.

Grouped, external, and other product types

Products that require their own WooCommerce purchase flow are not forced into a simple-product Add to Cart process. The sticky action guides the shopper to the main product purchase area instead.

Lightweight by design

The plugin does not create custom database tables and does not require an external account, API key, analytics service, or remote tracking service.

Its purpose is intentionally focused: improve access to the product purchase action on WooCommerce single-product pages.
