A cart your customers don’t want to leave.
ManageCart adds a customizable cart experience to WooCommerce with a live side drawer and floating cart button — quantities, coupons, and totals update instantly, with zero reloads.
Layouts
One cart, four ways to show it
Pick the presentation that fits your store — or let ManageCart choose the right one automatically on mobile.
Drawer, popup, or mobile bottom-sheet
Switch layouts below to see how the same cart adapts — a slide-in drawer on either side, a centered popup, or a native-feeling bottom-sheet for phones.
- Left drawer, right drawer, or centered popup on desktop
- Dedicated bottom-sheet presentation for mobile shoppers
- Optional auto-open the instant a product is added
Every change happens live
Quantities, coupons, and totals update the instant a customer acts — no reload, no wait, no reason to lose their place.
- Live quantity updates and item removal, no page reload
- Coupon apply and remove, built on WooCommerce’s own coupon routes
- Sale-price badges and a configurable low-stock badge
- Custom heading, product images, and variation details
- Show or hide the image, variation details, quantity controls, and remove button — each on its own switch
Try it — the demo cart above the fold responds to real clicks.
Always one tap away
A persistent floating button keeps the cart visible as customers browse — pick its corner, and let shoppers drag it out of the way if they’d like.
- Turn it on or off independently of the Side Cart
- Any corner, with precise pixel offsets
- Live item-count badge, hidden automatically when empty
- Customers can drag it aside — remembered in their browser
Match it to your brand, live
Colours, sizing, and border-radius apply instantly — with an admin preview so nothing goes live until you’re happy with it.
- Full colour, sizing, and border-radius controls
- Live admin preview before you save changes
- Applies to both the Side Cart and Floating Cart button

Questions
Before you install
