Biggest opportunity: Swap “cart”, “woocommerce cart” and “side cart” for “interactive cart”, “cart drawer” and “sticky cart”. “cart” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “interactive cart” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce cart” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “cart drawer” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “side cart” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “sticky cart” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →5.6%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 35.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,140 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 2 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Very good plugin. Everything works fine, also translations! I recommend.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Patricia Scrafield1.0y ago
First of all, I’d like to say this is my first unprompted review here on WP. Second- this plugin is a little goldmine in a sea of terrible plugins, waiting to be discovered. If you need a minicart, this is a terrific one. It’s free, it’s customizable- highly customizable, it’s easy to install and test. My shop builder’s minicart was terrible. I like my shopbuilder on the whole, but a lot of their modules don’t work well for me and don’t play well with others. The minicart, for example, took all the prices and smushed them together at the top of the panel. Nothing I could do (or they could do) could unsmush them. So I had to find another option. Building an e-commerce site has been astronomically expensive, beyond belief, and so I’m having to look to free resources. I went through a number of free plugins which were insanely buggy. I honestly didn’t have time, heart or patience for anymore mess and went for one last hurrah through the plugin catalogue. I think a minicart is an important item on a website. It helps customers feel anchored to their purchases and that’s important. In this socio-economic landscape, I think it’s courteous and responsible to allow customers easy access to a system whereby they can easily access a budgeting system. And there are lots of options to help customers stay tethered to the items they want to come back for. I’ll get to that in a second. This plugin allows you to have full control of navigating vertical and horizontal offset as well, which is perfect for anyone who has a sticky bar or small pop-up notifications. It also includes a space for coupons and other important things that are included in a Cart Page. I would like to see two things- I’d like to see a button that can take the customer to the Cart Page because there are plugins which exist outside the scope of standard woocommerce Cart Page things. For example, I have a plugin call MoreConvert which is a Wishlist, Multilist and Waitlist plugin. It also has a “save for later” feature which can only be accessed from the Cart Page where customers can, if they feel as though their carts are too much for them, can set certain items aside for later and come back to them later. It’s a second tab on the Cart Page which is built on the backend. It’s a terrific feature and I’d like my customers to be able to have access to it from any point of the sales deck. My company is a high end Celtic Sterling Silver Jewelry Company which, while it sounds niche, has a wide clientele, and people do come back for things after setting them aside. A plugin like that is paramount and having other plugins which facilitate it’s reach are very helpful, too. The second thing is, ultimately, finding a way to integrate with the “save for later” feature from MoreConvert, which I realize is a bit of a pipe dream, but it never hurts to plant the seed. Ultimately, this plugin is fantastic and really helped me close my day on an up note. I like everything about it and I am incredibly grateful that it’s free. Thank you for being so hospitable and generous. I can’t tell you what that means to me. If you need a minicart, THIS should be your minicart. Pick this one.

No support threads have been answered in months, and the devs mention this plugin will not work with WordPress blocks in one recent thread. Ajax add to cart functionality of this plugin has stopped working on block themes/maybe all themes

This is the best free cart plugin I have ever used, but I think the following CSS code should be applied by default: img.attachment-woocommerce_thumbnail.size-woocommerce_thumbnail {background-color: transparent !important;background: transparent !important;border:none !important}

I honestly feel like I’m working with a premium plugin. The quality is astounding, especially considering it’s completely free.—Tôi thực sự cảm thấy như mình đang làm việc với một plugin cao cấp. Chất lượng thật đáng kinh ngạc, đặc biệt là khi xét đến việc nó hoàn toàn miễn phí.
