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 checkout:
1. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Shipping and create a “Free Shipping” method.
2. Note the “Minimum order amount” you set there.
3. Go to Settings > QuantWP Side Cart and enter that same number in the “Free Shipping Threshold” field.
Now, the progress bar will reach 100% exactly when WooCommerce activates free shipping at checkout. -
How do I set up the Cross-Sell Carousel?
-
The carousel pulls data directly from WooCommerce:
1. Edit any product in your store.
2. Go to Linked Products > Cross-sells.
3. Add the products ( in cross-sell field currently) you want to recommend.
If an item in the cart has cross-sells assigned, they will appear in the side cart carousel. -
How does the Cross-Sell Limit work?
-
If a customer has multiple items in their cart, the total number of cross-sell recommendations could become very large. Use the Cross-Sell Limit field in our settings to keep the drawer clean. For example, if you set the limit to “5”, we will only show the first 5 available cross-sells, even if 30 are assigned.
-
Where can I use the cart shortcode?
-
You can use
[quantwp_cart_shortcode]anywhere shortcodes are accepted. It is compatible with all major theme header builders and page builders like Elementor.
