Easy Digital Downloads Add to Cart Pop-Up

Description

The Add to Cart Pop-Up addon replaces Easy Digital Downloads’ automatic cart redirect with a modal window that opens over the current page whenever the visitor clicks add to cart. This box displays the newly added item, the subtotal, and buttons to continue shopping or proceed directly to checkout, keeping the customer in the product context and reducing typical friction in digital stores with multiple downloads.
