One lightweight plugin. Works with any theme — zero jQuery, zero page reloads. #### 🛒 Cart Modules **Side Cart (AJAX Drawer)** A smooth slide-in drawer from the right or left edge. Opens on add-to-cart, icon click, or both. Live quantity controls, item removal, and real-time subtotal — all without a page reload. Shows sale prices, savings badges, and WooCommerce notices inside the drawer. **Floating Cart Button** A persistent floating action button (FAB) fixed to a corner of the screen. Live item count badge. Hides automatically on cart and checkout pages. **Mini Cart — Shortcode + Widget** Place `[cartexa_cart_icon]` anywhere with a shortcode, or add the Cartexa Cart Icon widget to any widget area. Three icon styles: Bag, Basket, Trolley. **Nav Menu Cart Icon** Automatically inject the cart icon into any registered WordPress navigation menu — no shortcode or widget needed. #### 🚀 Conversion Modules **Free Shipping Progress Bar** Show customers exactly how close they are to qualifying for free shipping. Auto-detects your WooCommerce free shipping threshold. Custom messages with `{amount}` placeholder. **Trust Badges** Reassurance icons inside the drawer — Secure Checkout, Easy Returns, Fast Shipping, 24/7 Support — plus two custom text slots. **Stock Scarcity Messages** Low-stock warnings on cart items using real WooCommerce stock data. Configurable threshold and message template with `{qty}` placeholder. **Toast Notifications** Non-blocking “Added to cart!” notifications with product thumbnail and View Cart link. Auto-dismiss with configurable duration. Four position options. **Undo Remove Item** When a customer clicks the remove button, Cartexa delays the actual deletion and shows a countdown “Undo” toast. Configurable undo window (3– 10 seconds). #### ⚡ Performance * **Zero jQuery** — pure vanilla ES6 throughout * **Module-level loading** — disabled modules register zero hooks and load zero assets * **Smart enqueue** — CSS/JS load only on WooCommerce pages by default * **Single AJAX call** — one request refreshes the entire cart state * **WooCommerce Blocks** — Cart and Checkout Blocks compatible (Level 1 + Level 2 support) #### 🔧 Developer Features * PSR-4 namespaced PHP under `Cartexa\` * 25+ action and filter hooks for extensibility * Theme template overrides: copy to `{theme}/cartexa-smart-cart/` * Public JS API: `window.Cartexa.open()`, `.close()`, `.refresh()`, `.getData()` * Custom DOM events: `cartexa:drawer:open`, `cartexa:cart:refreshed`, and more * HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage) compatibility declared * Cart Refresh on Tab Focus — prevents stale cart data when switching browser tabs * Export / Import settings — backup and copy configuration between sites ## Screenshots [⌊AJAX side cart drawer — items, quantity controls, sale prices, savings badges, and trust badges.⌉⌊AJAX side cart drawer — items, quantity controls, sale prices, savings badges, and trust badges.⌉[ AJAX side cart drawer — items, quantity controls, sale prices, savings badges, and trust badges.

Yes. Cartexa injects all frontend UI via `wp_footer` — it does not override any WooCommerce templates. Tested with Astra, Kadence, GeneratePress, OceanWP, Flatsome, Storefront, Divi, Blocksy, Hello Elementor, Bricks, and Twenty Twenty-Five. ### Does it require jQuery? No. The entire frontend codebase is pure vanilla JavaScript (ES6). There is zero jQuery dependency. ### How do I add the cart icon to my header? Three ways: (1) Shortcode `[cartexa_cart_icon]` in any shortcode-ready location.( 2) The Cartexa Cart Icon widget in Appearance Widgets. (3) Enable Settings Nav Menu to auto-inject into your navigation menu. ### Can I enable all modules at once? Yes. Each module is independently toggleable and has zero overhead when disabled. ### Does it work with variable products? Yes. Variation attributes, images, and per-variation pricing all display correctly in the drawer and all modules. ### Is HPOS supported? Yes. Cartexa declares full High-Performance Order Storage compatibility. All cart operations use `WC()->cart` — no direct order table queries. ### Does it work with WooCommerce Cart and Checkout Blocks? Yes. Cartexa implements Level 1 (JS store API events) and Level 2 (Block page detection) support. The drawer, FAB, and Sticky Bar automatically adjust their behavior on Block-based cart and checkout pages. ### What happens to settings if I deactivate the plugin? Settings are preserved on deactivation. Only deleting the plugin triggers `uninstall. php` which removes all plugin data from the database. ### Can I export my settings to another site? Yes. Go to Cartexa Export / Import in the admin panel to download a JSON backup of your settings or import them on another site. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Cartexa – Smart Cart for WooCommerce” is open source software.
