Xootix Side Cart For WooCommerce
Xootix Side Cart for WooCommerce adds a slide-in cart interface that lets shoppers review items, adjust the cart, and continue toward checkout without relying exclusively on a separate cart page.
PluginNest file-validatedRecently addedUpdated Mar 16, 2026
Overview
This plugin is intended for WooCommerce stores that want cart access to remain available while shoppers browse. Its floating basket can expose the current item count, while the side cart provides a compact place to review the subtotal, remove products, and move toward checkout without a full-page transition. The settings offer control over icons, dimensions, colors, layout, and page visibility, so it can be adapted to a store’s header and theme rather than treated as a fixed widget. The main boundary is the split between the free and Pro editions. Coupons, shipping calculation, payment buttons, rewards, save-for-later behavior, and product recommendations are documented as Pro functionality, so they should not be presented as part of the base plugin. Installation is available through the WordPress plugin interface, while the developer documentation also covers translation, WPML, shortcode placement, and template overrides. Test add-to-cart behavior, cart fragments, checkout buttons, theme styling, caching, and payment integrations on staging before deploying, especially where a theme or another WooCommerce extension modifies cart behavior.
AJAX-based cart additions and cart management without a page refresh.
Floating basket displaying the number of items in the cart.
Controls for cart icons, width, height, colors, layout, pricing display, and page visibility.
Responsive side-cart presentation for desktop and mobile storefronts.
Pro options for coupons, shipping calculation, payment buttons, rewards, save-for-later, and upsells.
Developer options including a cart shortcode, translation workflow, WPML guidance, and theme template overrides.
Compatibility and setup context
- Requires WooCommerce as the underlying commerce platform; verify the installed WooCommerce version and cart configuration on staging.
- The WordPress.org listing reports WordPress 3.0.1 or higher and testing through WordPress 7.0.4; confirm those requirements against the current release before installation.
- WPML support is documented by the developer, with WPML String Translation required for the described workflow.
- Payment buttons require separate payment-plugin configuration and may depend on the buttons appearing on the standard WooCommerce cart page.
- Template overrides should be tested after theme changes because copied files in the theme can require maintenance when plugin templates change.
