2 ratingsSide Cart & Upsell for WooCommerce turns your default cart into a fast, AJAX-powered Side Cart (Mini Cart) — then fills it with Upsells, Cross-Sells, Product Recommendations, Add-ons, and Order Bumps built to lift your average order value (AOV).
Most free side cart plugins stop at the slide-out drawer and gate upsells, cross-sells, and conditional logic behind a paid upgrade. This one doesn’t. Product Recommendations, Cart & Checkout Upsells, Add-ons, Custom Conditions, and Automatic Discounts are all included free — no coding, no page builder required — and it works with any WooCommerce theme, including block themes and the WooCommerce Store API.
Use flexible conditional logic to personalize offers by user role, cart subtotal, products already in the cart, categories, and purchase behavior — then apply an automatic discount to any recommended or upsell product to make the offer easy to say yes to.
