Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 9:58 pm

When you add a mini cart to your WooCommerce store, you’ll want to display it prominently so that customers can easily add items to their shopping carts. There are a number of ways to display a mini cart in WooCommerce, and it all depends on what you want to achieve.

The simplest way to display a mini cart is to add a widget to your WooCommerce sidebar. You can find a wide variety of mini cart widgets available in the WooCommerce WordPress plugin marketplace, or you can create your own using the WordPress widget editor.

If you want to display a mini cart on the main WooCommerce website page, you can use the WooCommerce Featured Products widget. This widget shows the top products in your mini cart, and it’s easy to add.

Just insert the Featured Products widget code into your WooCommerce website’s header or footer, and you’re ready to go.

If you want to show a mini cart on individual product pages, you’ll need to use the WooCommerce Product Page Widget. This widget allows you to display products in a mini cart on individual product pages, and it’s easy to add.

PRO TIP: If you are using WooCommerce to sell products on your website, you may want to display the mini cart in the sidebar or header so that customers can see how many items they have in their cart and checkout easily. However, there is a risk that displaying the mini cart in this way may result in customer data being leaked if your website is not properly secured.

To avoid this, make sure that your WooCommerce installation is up to date and that you have taken steps to secure your website (such as setting up SSL). If you are unsure about how to do this, we recommend contacting a WooCommerce expert or your hosting provider for assistance.

Just insert the Product Page Widget code into your product pages, and you’re ready to go.

If you want to show a mini cart on a custom page, you’ll need to use the WooCommerce Custom Page Widget. This widget allows you to display products in a mini cart on custom pages, and it’s easy to add.

Just insert the Custom Page Widget code into your custom pages, and you’re ready to go.

Finally, if you want to show a mini cart on a specific product category page, you’ll need to use the WooCommerce Category Page Widget. This widget allows you to display products in a mini cart on category pages, and it’s easy to add.

Just insert the Category Page Widget code into your category pages, and you’re ready to go.

Overall, there are a number of ways to display a mini cart in WooCommerce, and it all depends on what you want to achieve. If you’ve got a specific requirement that you can’t find a widget for, or you want to create a custom solution, you can always contact the WooCommerce support team for help.
