To also make your theme’s existing header cart icon open the drawer: * **Known themes** (Astra, Woodmart, Storefront, Divi, OceanWP, Elementor Pro menu cart, Qode themes, and the default WooCommerce Mini Cart block) are detected automatically. * **Any other theme**: the plugin watches for the CSS selector your theme itself already uses to keep its own cart badge updated, and picks it up automatically— visible under BrahamCart General once your theme’s cart fragment has fired at least once on the site. * If neither of the above catches your theme’s icon, you can paste its CSS selector into the “Theme Cart CSS Selector” field under BrahamCart General. * Developers can register additional selectors in code via the `brahamcart_native_cart_suppress_selectors` filter, to suppress a theme’s own native cart panel when this plugin’s drawer opens. #### Free shipping bar A progress bar showing customers how much more they need to spend to unlock free shipping. The spend threshold is set directly in the plugin’s own settings (BrahamCart General) — no WooCommerce Shipping Zone configuration required. Once a customer’s cart crosses the threshold, shipping is automatically set to free at checkout. #### Milestone rewards Beyond free shipping, configure up to three additional spend-based milestones. Each milestone can independently be set to either: * **A discount** — automatically applies a configurable amount off the cart once the threshold is reached, shown to the customer as an auto-applied special offer( compatible with both classic and WooCommerce Blocks Cart/Checkout). * **A free gift** — automatically adds a specified product (or a custom name/image) to the cart as a zero-price item once the threshold is reached, and automatically removes it if the cart later drops back below the threshold. #### Cross-sells An optional “You might also like” section inside the drawer, either auto-populated or manually curated from specific products. #### Built for WooCommerce Blocks The milestone discount is displayed with a friendly label on both classic (shortcode) and block-based Cart and Checkout pages. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin zip via WordPress Admin Plugins Add New Upload Plugin, or extract it to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. WooCommerce must already be installed and active. 3. Go to WooCommerce BrahamCart to configure the free shipping threshold, milestone rewards, cross-sells, and coupon field. 4. Optionally add your theme’s header cart selector under BrahamCart General if it isn’t auto-detected. ## FAQ ### Does this work with my theme? The drawer itself works on any theme out of the box — it doesn’t depend on theme templates. Making your theme’s own header cart _icon_ open the drawer works automatically for several popular themes, and is auto-detected for most others. See the Description section above for details, or add a manual CSS selector if needed. ### Will it conflict with my theme’s own built-in cart panel? The plugin actively tries to suppress a theme’s native slide-out cart so only one panel opens at a time. This is automatic for several popular themes, and the plugin also attempts to detect and suppress unknown themes’ native cart panels dynamically. If your theme’s native cart still appears alongside the drawer, you can register its selector with the `brahamcart_native_cart_suppress_selectors` filter. ### Do I need to configure a WooCommerce Shipping Zone for the free shipping bar to work? No. The free shipping threshold is a setting inside this plugin (BrahamCart General) and is independent of your WooCommerce Shipping Zone configuration. ### Can I turn off the free shipping bar? The free shipping milestone is always active; only its spend threshold is configurable. ### Does this support WooCommerce Blocks Cart and Checkout? Yes. The milestone discount is displayed with a friendly, configurable label on both classic and block-based Cart/Checkout pages. ### Does the plugin work with Cash on Delivery or other fees? Once the free shipping threshold is met, all shipping rates for the cart are set to zero. If you use additional fees (such as a COD handling fee) alongside shipping, review how this interacts with your fee setup before enabling in a live store. ### What languages are supported? BrahamCart is fully internationalized (i18n ready). All customer-facing and admin settings text can be translated into any language using standard WordPress translation tools or translation plugins like Loco Translate and WPML. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “BrahamCart – App-Like Modern Side Cart for WooCommerce” is open source software.
