Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Ajax Cart for WooCommerce makes buying smoother in two ways:

  • On the classic cart page (the [woocommerce_cart] shortcode most stores and classic themes use), totals are recalculated with AJAX as soon as a quantity changes — no “Update cart” click — with -/+ buttons around the quantity.
  • A side cart (optional): a cart drawer that slides in from the side — or a popup — when a product is added, with a floating cart button, a coupon form and a free shipping progress bar — on classic and block themes alike, on every page but the cart and checkout.

3), WooCommerce already updates quantities by itself; there the plugin adds a confirmation before an item is removed, and the side cart works the same.

No other hacks, code or theme changes are needed: the features are active as soon as the plugin is.

Free version features:

  • Automatically reload and recalculate the classic Cart using AJAX when quantity changes
  • Show -/+ buttons around item quantity on cart page
  • Show item quantity as select instead numeric field
  • Show user confirmation when change item quantity to zero — and, on the Cart block, before an item is removed
  • Side cart: a cart drawer that slides in when a product is added — or a popup in the middle of the screen — with a floating cart button and item count
  • Coupon form inside the side cart: apply or remove a coupon without leaving the page, the totals and WooCommerce’s messages right there
  • Your own look for the side cart: accent colour, the floating button’s icon and corner, and its texts (title, checkout button, empty cart)
  • Free shipping progress bar (“Spend $12.00 more for free shipping”) in the side cart, Mini-Cart, classic Cart and Cart block — the amount read from your free shipping method, or your own
