About Side Cart & Upsell for WooCommerce

The free WooCommerce Side Cart, Mini Cart & Upsell plugin. Add Cross-Sells, Order Bumps & Product Add-ons to boost AOV — no coding.

Side Cart & Upsell for WooCommerce turns your default cart into a fast, AJAX-powered Side Cart (Mini Cart) — then fills it with Upsells, Cross-Sells, Product Recommendations, Add-ons, and Order Bumps built to lift your average order value (AOV).

Most free side cart plugins stop at the slide-out drawer and gate upsells, cross-sells, and conditional logic behind a paid upgrade. This one doesn’t. Product Recommendations, Cart & Checkout Upsells, Add-ons, Custom Conditions, and Automatic Discounts are all included free — no coding, no page builder required — and it works with any WooCommerce theme, including block themes and the WooCommerce Store API.

Use flexible conditional logic to personalize offers by user role, cart subtotal, products already in the cart, categories, and purchase behavior — then apply an automatic discount to any recommended or upsell product to make the offer easy to say yes to.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this side cart work with block themes and the WooCommerce Store API?

Yes. It’s fully compatible with modern block themes and the WooCommerce Store API, alongside classic themes.

Can I customize the Side Cart’s colors, text, and layout?

Yes. Colors, button text, icon position, and cart title can all be styled from the plugin settings without touching code.

Will this slow down my store?

It’s built on lightweight AJAX, so the cart updates without a full page reload, and upsell blocks only load on the pages where you’ve placed them.

Does the Side Cart replace the default WooCommerce cart page?

No. It adds a slide-out drawer alongside your existing cart page, so customers who prefer the full cart page can still use it.

Do I need the Pro version to show upsells, cross-sells, or product add-ons?

No. Product Recommendations, Cart & Checkout Upsells, Add-ons, Custom Conditions, and Automatic Discounts are all included free. Pro adds premium themes, popups, a rewards bar, and a free-shipping progress bar.

Can I target offers to specific user roles or cart totals?

Yes. Custom Conditions let you show or hide any recommendation, upsell, or add-on based on login status, user role, products already in the cart, item count, or cart subtotal.

Does the plugin support automatic discounts on upsell products?

Yes. Set a fixed amount or percentage discount that applies automatically the moment the upsell, recommendation, or add-on is added to the cart.

Is this compatible with Elementor, Divi, and other page builders?

Yes. It works with any theme or page builder — no coding required.

Does it work with variable products?

Yes! Upsells, recommendations, and add-ons support both variable and simple products. All of these selections are fully supported in the Pro Version.
