How Do I Add a Shopping Cart Icon in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 20, 2023 @ 5:58 am

If you’re using WooCommerce to sell products on your website, then you’ll need to add a shopping cart icon so that visitors can easily see how many items are in their cart and access the checkout page. Luckily, WooCommerce makes it easy to add a shopping cart icon to your site.

In order to add a shopping cart icon in WooCommerce, you’ll need to follow these steps:

    1. Log into your WordPress site and go to the WooCommerce settings page.

    2. On the WooCommerce settings page, click on the “Checkout” tab.

    3. On the Checkout tab, find the “Enable Cart Icon” setting and select the “Yes” option.

    4. Save your changes.

Once you’ve completed these steps, a shopping cart icon will be displayed on your website. Visitors can click on the icon to view the contents of their cart or go directly to the checkout page.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to add a shopping cart icon in WooCommerce, be aware that there is a potential risk of losing your data. This is because WooCommerce uses a database to store your data, and if you add a shopping cart icon, it will be stored in the database as well. There is also a possibility that the icon may not be compatible with your WooCommerce version, which could result in your site crashing.

If you want to change the style of the shopping cart icon, you can do so by editing your theme’s CSS file. For example, if you want to change the color of the icon, you would add this CSS:

.cart-icon {
  color: #ff0000;
}

You can also use CSS to change the position of the shopping cart icon or make it float so that it's always visible on your website.

Adding a shopping cart icon in WooCommerce is a simple process that only takes a few minutes to complete. Once you've added the icon, visitors will be able to see how many items are in their cart and easily access the checkout page.
