If you’re using WooCommerce to power your eCommerce site, you’ll likely want to display a “cart” icon somewhere on your site, so that users can easily see how many items are in their cart, and click to view the contents. There are a few different ways to do this.
1. Use a WooCommerce-Compatible Theme
Many themes available today are “WooCommerce-compatible”, meaning they have specific support for displaying a cart icon (usually in the header area). If you’re using one of these themes, all you need to do is enable the WooCommerce plugin and the theme will take care of the rest.
2. Use a Plugin
If you’re not using a WooCommerce-compatible theme, or if you want more control over where the cart icon appears on your site, you can use a plugin. There are many different plugins available that will add a cart icon to your site; some are free and some are paid. Do a search on the WordPress.org plugin directory or Google for “WooCommerce cart icon” to find one that suits your needs.
3. Add Code to Your Theme
If you’re comfortable working with code, you can add the necessary code directly to your theme. This is not recommended for beginners, as it’s easy to make mistakes that could break your site. If you go this route, be sure to create a backup of your site first.
Conclusion:
There are three main ways to add a cart icon with WooCommerce: by using a WooCommerce-compatible theme, by using a plugin, or by adding code directly to your theme. Choose the method that works best for you and your site.
