How Do I Automatically Add Items to My Cart in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 12, 2023 @ 4:04 pm

When running a WooCommerce store, there are certain automation tasks that can help make life much easier – like being able to automatically add items into a customer’s shopping cart. This increases conversions and sales while making the customer’s experience much smoother.

There are two ways this can be done:

  1. Use Built-In Functionality

You can find this option by going into WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > Automatic Adding To Cart.

From here – select what products get added and how many.

  1. Use A Plugin

There are many plugins with different features & prices available.

Some popular ones include:

  • WooCommerce Auto Add To Cart

This plugin makes it easy for customers adding products with options for what gets added & how many.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to add items to your WooCommerce cart automatically, be aware that this could potentially cause problems with your checkout process. If too many items are added to the cart, it could overload the system and cause the checkout to fail. Additionally, if the items that are being added to the cart are not compatible with each other, this could also cause problems.
  • WooCart Pro

This one includes all features from ‘WooCommerce Auto Add To Cart’ plus extras – like being able from any page on website & automatic coupon application.
