# CartPops

> CartPops is a WooCommerce side cart and cart drawer plugin for WordPress. It replaces the WooCommerce cart page with a slide-out cart that opens when a shopper adds a product, so customers can review their cart, unlock rewards and check out without leaving the page. The core plugin is free on WordPress.org; CartPops Pro adds tools that raise average order value.

CartPops 2.0 (released 2026) is rebuilt from the ground up on the WooCommerce Store API. It is block-native, with Cart Drawer and Cart Launcher blocks for the Site Editor built on the WordPress Interactivity API, and it also works with classic themes, Elementor and page builders. The cart stays in sync with the WooCommerce Cart, Checkout and Mini-Cart blocks.
