Cartly Documentation

Overview

A clean slide-out cart that opens when a product is added: customers change quantities, see how close they are to free shipping, discover a related product and go to checkout without leaving the page.

• Customers keep shopping instead of leaving for the cart page
• Free shipping bar pushes them to add one more item
• Checkout is always one click away

Best for: Any WooCommerce store

Installation

1. Download cartly-side-cart.zip from My account › My plugins or from your order email. Do not unzip it.
2. In WordPress, go to Plugins › Add New Plugin › Upload Plugin, choose the zip and click Install Now, then Activate.
3. Add a product to the cart: the side cart opens.

Requires WordPress 6.0+, PHP 7.4+, WooCommerce 7.0+. Works with any theme, block themes and page builders.

For developers

Customize the plugin from your theme’s functions.php or a small plugin, without editing its files (your changes survive updates).

Filters

• cartly_show

add_filter( 'cartly_show', function ( $value ) {
	// Change $value here.
	return $value;
}, 10, 1 );

Updates

Updates are free. When a new version is out, it appears in Dashboard › Updates of your WordPress site and you can install it in one click, or turn on automatic updates in Plugins. This works for the zip downloaded from your Woo-Plugins account; older copies can be replaced by downloading the latest version from My plugins. See the changelog.
