The mini cart for WooCommerce offers immediate access to cart details. It enhances the user’s interaction with your store. By using the mini cart shortcode, you can display a mini cart anywhere on your website. This includes a cart fly-out for a detailed view of cart items and totals. It gives users a seamless shopping experience.
With conventional checkout processes, the cart is often hidden, causing confusion among users about their selected products. The mini cart for WooCommerce solves this issue by providing complete cart details, allowing customers to continue shopping or checkout whenever they’re ready.

The GIF below shows the plugin working with a 2.5 second delay from when the customer changes the quantity and the cart updates. The Update Cart button remains on the cart page so that it can be used in other situations where the cart may need updating. Should the customer click the Update Cart button before the plugin updates it automatically, the cart will simply update the quantity.
