Streamline the WooCommerce cart experience

Modern Cart Pro replaces the need to send shoppers to a separate cart page for everyday cart management. It adds a side cart, also called a cart drawer or sliding cart, that opens on the current page when a product is added or when the shopper selects the floating cart icon. A popup cart mode is also included for stores that prefer a centered overlay.

Because cart actions use AJAX, customers can add products, remove items, and update quantities without page reloads. The cart shows live, up-to-date totals while shoppers continue browsing. The default WooCommerce cart page remains available for compatibility, while the side cart gives customers a convenient way to review and manage their items from across the store.

Paid capabilities for increasing cart value

Modern Cart Pro adds product recommendations directly inside the cart. In-cart upsells and cross-sells appear at a point when customers are close to checkout, giving stores a practical way to present related or additional products. Product recommendations are also available for an empty cart, helping direct shoppers toward products when there are no items to manage.

A free shipping progress bar can show how close the customer is to the free-shipping threshold. The cart can also use a cart rewards progress bar with custom reward milestones, such as free gifts, discounts, or another incentive. These progress indicators update as products are added or removed.

The built-in coupon form enables customers to enter and apply discount codes inside the side cart. Totals update without a page reload. Modern Cart can also work with Power Coupons for WooCommerce for auto-apply and rule-based discounts. Express checkout is included in the Pro edition for stores that want to provide an additional path from the cart.

Store presentation and layout controls

Modern Cart Pro includes advanced color controls, custom icon uploads, and cart width controls. These options help adapt the cart presentation to the visual requirements of a store. The floating cart icon stays pinned in the corner of each page and includes a live entry-count badge, giving shoppers a consistent way to open the cart.

The extension works with simple, variable, grouped, and subscription products. Variable product attributes and subscription details display correctly inside the side cart. It is compatible with themes including Astra, Spectra, Blocksy, Kadence, GeneratePress, OceanWP, Hello Elementor, Storefront, Bricks Builder, Flatsome, Hestia, and Neve. It also lists compatibility with builders and extensions such as Elementor, Gutenberg, CartFlows, WooCommerce Subscriptions, and Cart Abandonment Recovery for WooCommerce.

Typical workflow

• Install and activate Modern Cart Pro on a WooCommerce website.
• Choose the side cart drawer or popup cart presentation.
• Enable the floating cart icon so shoppers can open the cart from any page.
• Configure recommendations, coupons, progress bars, express checkout, and visual controls for the store.
• Let customers review, update, and continue toward checkout without leaving the page.

Installation

Upload the Modern Cart Pro add-on through the WordPress dashboard, activate it, and configure its cart settings. The plugin’s admin area also provides access to changelog and knowledge base information. It connects to CartFlows services for those admin-panel requests; the supplied information states that no visitor data is sent for these read-only requests.
