The Menu Cart module injects a cart summary — an icon, item count, and/or cart total — into one of your site's registered navigation menus.
Selecting a menu
Under Select menu, choose which registered nav menu should receive the cart widget. Only menus registered by your theme or plugins appear in this list.
Display options
- Display cart — master toggle to show or hide the cart widget in the selected menu
- Show on cart page — show the widget when viewing the cart (enabled by default)
- Show on checkout page — show the widget on the checkout page (enabled by default)
- Display cart icon — shows a bag/cart SVG icon alongside the count or total (enabled by default)
Content
Choose what text the cart button displays:
| Option | Shows |
|---|---|
| Item count | "2 items" |
| Price | Cart subtotal or total |
| Item count + price | "2 items – $24.00" |
When showing a price, set Price to display to either Subtotal (before tax and shipping) or Total (the final cart total including fees).
Alignment
Set Menu alignment to position the cart widget within the menu: Left, Center, or Right. Defaults to right.
Custom CSS class
Add a custom CSS class to the cart wrapper for targeted styling from your theme or a custom stylesheet.
AJAX updates
AJAX cart keeps the count and total in sync with WooCommerce's cart fragments system — no page reload needed when items are added or removed.
