About this plugin
BrahamCart replaces your theme’s default “Add to Cart” behavior with a slide-out side cart drawer that works the same way regardless of which theme or page builder your store uses.
Theme independence, by design
The drawer renders its own markup independent of any theme template and auto-opens after every add-to-cart, on any theme, through a server-side WooCommerce hook — no theme-specific setup required for that part.
To also make your theme’s existing header cart icon open the drawer:
- Known themes (Astra, Woodmart, Storefront, Divi, OceanWP, Elementor Pro menu cart, Qode themes, and the default WooCommerce Mini Cart block) are detected automatically.
- Any other theme: the plugin watches for the CSS selector your theme itself already uses to keep its own cart badge updated, and picks it up automatically — visible under BrahamCart → General once your theme’s cart fragment has fired at least once on the site.
- If neither of the above catches your theme’s icon, you can paste its CSS selector into the “Theme Cart CSS Selector” field under BrahamCart → General.
- Developers can register additional selectors in code via the brahamcart_native_cart_suppress_selectors filter, to suppress a theme’s own native cart panel when this plugin’s drawer opens.
Free shipping bar
A progress bar showing customers how much more they need to spend to unlock free shipping. The spend threshold is set directly in the plugin’s own settings (BrahamCart → General) — no WooCommerce Shipping Zone configuration required. Once a customer’s cart crosses the threshold, shipping is automatically set to free at checkout.
Milestone rewards
Beyond free shipping, configure up to three additional spend-based milestones. Each milestone can independently be set to either:
- A discount — automatically applies a configurable amount off the cart once the threshold is reached, shown to the customer as an auto-applied special offer (compatible with both classic and WooCommerce Blocks Cart/Checkout).
- A free gift — automatically adds a specified product (or a custom name/image) to the cart as a zero-price item once the threshold is reached, and automatically removes it if the cart later drops back below the threshold.
Cross-sells
An optional “You might also like” section inside the drawer, either auto-populated or manually curated from specific products.
Built for WooCommerce Blocks
The milestone discount is displayed with a friendly label on both classic (shortcode) and block-based Cart and Checkout pages.
