        \n

        Does Cartexa work with my theme?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Cartexa injects all frontend UI via wp_footer<\/code> \u2014 it does not override any WooCommerce templates. Tested with Astra, Kadence, GeneratePress, OceanWP, Flatsome, Storefront, Divi, Blocksy, Hello Elementor, Bricks, and Twenty Twenty-Five.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does it require jQuery?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        No. The entire frontend codebase is pure vanilla JavaScript (ES6). There is zero jQuery dependency.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        How do I add the cart icon to my header?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Three ways: (1) Shortcode [cartexa_cart_icon]<\/code> in any shortcode-ready location. (2) The Cartexa Cart Icon widget in Appearance \u2192 Widgets. (3) Enable Settings \u2192 Nav Menu to auto-inject into your navigation menu.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I enable all modules at once?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Each module is independently toggleable and has zero overhead when disabled.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does it work with variable products?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Variation attributes, images, and per-variation pricing all display correctly in the drawer and all modules.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Is HPOS supported?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Cartexa declares full High-Performance Order Storage compatibility. All cart operations use WC()->cart<\/code> \u2014 no direct order table queries.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Does it work with WooCommerce Cart and Checkout Blocks?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        What happens to settings if I deactivate the plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Settings are preserved on deactivation. Only deleting the plugin triggers uninstall.php<\/code> which removes all plugin data from the database.<\/p><\/dd>\n

        Can I export my settings to another site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

        Yes. Go to Cartexa \u2192 Export \/ Import in the admin panel to download a JSON backup of your settings or import them on another site.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
