Installation

Install and activate the plugin through the Plugins > Add New menu in your WordPress dashboard.
Go to Settings > QuantWP Side Cart to configure your display options, colors, and free shipping threshold.
Placement: Add the shortcode [quantwp_cart_shortcode] to your site.
- Tip: Look for a dedicated « Shortcode » widget in your theme or page builder (like Elementor or Divi). If one isn’t available, try an « HTML » or « Text » widget. If you still face issues, please contact our support team.

FAQ

How do I sync the Shipping Bar with WooCommerce Free Shipping?: Our shipping bar acts as a visual mirror. To ensure it matches your store settings:
1. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping and check your « Free Shipping » method.
2. Note the « Minimum order amount » you have set there.
3. Go to Settings > QuantWP Side Cart and enter that same value in the Free Shipping Threshold field.
How do I set up the Cross-Sell Carousel?: You have full manual control over which products appear in the cart:
1. Go to Settings > QuantWP Side Cart.
2. Use the Cross-Sell Selection field to manually pick up to 5 specific products ( simple and variable products are supported).
Does this work with any theme?: Yes. QuantWP is theme-independent. As long as you can place the [quantwp_cart_shortcode] shortcode in your header, footer, or page content, the side cart will function perfectly regardless of your theme or page builder.
Is the plugin compatible with the WooCommerce Store API?: Absolutely. The plugin is built specifically to leverage the modern WooCommerce Store API, ensuring high performance and fast AJAX updates even on high-traffic sites.
