Cart visibility

Show the cart in your site header for instant access

Add a floating cart icon to your navigation menu so customers always see their order total and can jump to checkout from any page.

In the Starter plan v1.0.2.1

What it does

When the cart is only accessible by navigating to a separate page, customers lose track of what they have added and are less likely to complete their order. The Menu Cart extension puts a cart icon with a live item count and total directly in your site header, so customers always know what is in their basket.

Choose from available icon styles, show or hide the item count and total price, and control whether the icon appears when the cart is empty. A primary navigation menu must be set up in WordPress for the cart to appear.
