FAQ
-
How do I sync the Shipping Bar with WooCommerce Free Shipping?
-
Our shipping bar acts as a visual mirror. To ensure it matches your store settings:
1. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping and check your “Free Shipping” method.
2. Note the “Minimum order amount” you have set there.
3. Go to Settings > QuantWP Side Cart and enter that same value in the Free Shipping Threshold field. -
How do I set up the Cross-Sell Carousel?
-
You have full manual control over which products appear in the cart:
1. Go to Settings > QuantWP Side Cart.
2. Use the Cross-Sell Selection field to manually pick up to 5 specific products ( simple and variable products are supported). -
Does this work with any theme?
-
Yes. QuantWP is theme-independent. As long as you can place the
[quantwp_cart_shortcode]shortcode in your header, footer, or page content, the side cart will function perfectly regardless of your theme or page builder. -
Is the plugin compatible with the WooCommerce Store API?
-
Absolutely. The plugin is built specifically to leverage the modern WooCommerce Store API, ensuring high performance and fast AJAX updates even on high-traffic sites.
