A big UX mistake on many eCommerce web sites is hiding access to the cart. After adding a product to the cart the visitors next logical step is to complete the purchase. Don’t frustrate your customers by making them search for the cart button!
This plugin adds a sitewide tab that displays the number of products in the cart. Clicking the tab or adding a product to the cart from a shop page will reveal the cart contents with a link to the checkout.
There are options in the Customizer to control the display.

The Live Carts plugin by BerryPress extends WooCommerce by adding real-time tracking of all customer shopping carts within your WordPress admin. It provides a complete list of customer carts, including their status (active, abandoned, or converted) and total value. Clicking a cart ID reveals more details, including all products and quantities in the cart.
Optionally, the plugin can display a cart ID on the frontend, visible to the customer. The admin interface supports searching for carts based on this ID. This allows store support to look up a customer cart if the customer provides their cart ID.
The plugin also calculates some basic cart statistics at Analytics > Carts, with date filtering based on the cart creation date.
