Is there any way to display the WooCommerce mini-cart on my WordPress site?

Question

I'm developing a website whereby I would like customers to be able to constantly view the contents of their cart so they can add/remove items on the fly (using WooCommerce).

The theme I'm currently using is Flatsome (with the UXBuilder)

I've noticed there is a template for the WooCommerce mini-cart in woocommerce/templates/mini-cart.php. This looks like what I want to be displayed on my page

I have a plugin called WooCommerce Product Tables that (I believe) displays this mini-cart like this

I was wondering if there is any way for me to display this as a fixed element (within a div perhaps) on my page?

I'm quite inexperienced, so any help is appreciated :)

Answer 1

First Create the shortcode on function.php

// Add Shortcode

function custom_mini_cart() { 
    echo '<a href="#" class="dropdown-back" data-toggle="dropdown"> ';
    echo '<i class="fa fa-shopping-cart" aria-hidden="true"></i>';
    echo '<div class="basket-item-count" style="display: inline;">';
        echo '<span class="cart-items-count count">';
            echo WC()->cart->get_cart_contents_count();
        echo '</span>';
    echo '</div>';
    echo '</a>';
    echo '<ul class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-mini-cart">';
        echo '<li> <div class="widget_shopping_cart_content">';
                  woocommerce_mini_cart();
            echo '</div></li></ul>';

      }
       add_shortcode( '[custom-techno-mini-cart]', 'custom_mini_cart' );

Then add this [custom-techno-mini-cart] short code anywhere on page.

Now add this inside your template

 <?php echo do_shortcode(['custom-techno-mini-cart']); ?>

Hope This will help you.

Make your layout according to your requirement in first point.

woocommerce_mini_cart()

Answer 2

As Bhoomi suggested, using woocommerce_mini_cart(); works however ajax cart doesn't update the minit cart.

Using this method I suggest to wrap mini_cart function with "widget_shopping_cart_content" woocommerce class, for example :

<div class="widget_shopping_cart_content"><?php woocommerce_mini_cart(); ?></div>

So with ajax add to cart, the mini cart is updated also.

You can use woocommerce_mini_cart() wherever you want to display your minicart.

This function loads the mini-cart.php template to display the mini cart.
