Mini Cart for WooCommerce adds a stylish, sliding mini cart (side cart) to your WooCommerce store. It lets customers view and manage their cart contents — without leaving the page they’re on.

A cart icon appears in your site’s menu bar and footer for one-click access. The moment a customer adds a product, the sidebar mini cart automatically opens, showing what’s inside and updating the cart icon count — all via AJAX, with zero page reloads.

If you run a WooCommerce store and want faster checkout, fewer abandoned carts, and a more modern shopping experience, this plugin is built for exactly that.

Key Features (Free)

Cart Icon Integration — Add a customizable cart icon to your site’s menu or footer.
Automatic Mini Cart Display — The mini cart slides in automatically when a product is added, giving instant visual feedback.
AJAX Add to Cart — Products are added without page reloads, for a smooth, fast shopping experience.
Animated Notifications — Visual cues confirm to customers that an item was added to the cart.
Shortcode Support — Place the cart icon anywhere on your site using a simple shortcode.
16 Cart Icon Styles — Choose the icon that matches your store’s branding.

How to Add a Cart Icon to Your Menu

There are two ways to add the cart icon to your navigation menu:

Method 1 (Free + Pro): Go to Mini Cart Settings in your dashboard, select a menu from the dropdown, and save. The cart icon appears at the end of that menu on the frontend. Docs
Method 2 (PRO Only): Go to Appearance > Menus, click Screen Options, and enable “Mini Cart for WooCommerce.” This lets you add the cart icon to multiple menus and control its exact position. Backend Demo

Footer/Body Cart Icon: A cart icon can also appear in your site’s footer, with 16 icon styles to choose from. You can hide it on specific pages or post types.

AJAX Add to Cart: No reload needed when a customer adds a product from the single product page — this speeds up the shopping flow, reduces server load, and improves overall site performance.
