Caddy Pro – The Smarter Side Cart Plugin for WooCommerce

Description

The Caddy Pro replaces WooCommerce’s traditional cart page with a sliding side cart, which opens over the store as soon as a product is added and allows adjusting quantities, removing items, and proceeding to checkout without reloading the page. The goal is to reduce the number of clicks between the product and payment, a direct benefit for those who sell on WooCommerce and see abandoned carts in the transition between screens.

Main Features of Caddy Pro

• Sliding side cart
  A panel that opens over the store with the cart contents updated in real time.
• Update without reload
  Quantity changes and item removals happen via AJAX, without reloading the page.
• Floating cart icon
  A fixed button on the screen displays the item count and opens the panel at any time.
• Appearance control
  Adjust colors, position, text, and opening behavior via the settings panel.
• WooCommerce themes compatibility
  Works on the standard product, variation, and coupon structure of the store.

Benefits of Caddy Pro

• Fewer steps to payment
  The visitor reviews the order and proceeds without leaving the product showcase.
• Continuous navigation in the store
  Adding items no longer interrupts the product discovery journey.
• Cart always visible
  The item count follows the user across all store pages.
• Installation without changing the theme
  It works by activating the plugin, without editing files or adding custom code.

For Whom Is Caddy Pro Recommended?

• Those who sell large catalogs (fashion, accessories, supplements) and need customers to keep browsing after adding items.
• You who notice a drop in conversion exactly at the transition from product page to cart page.
• Those who already run a WooCommerce store and want to shorten the path to checkout without redoing the theme.

Before Installing: Caddy Pro Requires the Free Caddy Plugin

The Caddy Pro is an extension: it adds paid features on top of the free Caddy plugin, from the same developer, and does not work alone. Install the free Caddy first via the dashboard (Plugins > Add New, searching for “Caddy”), activate it, and then upload the Caddy Pro .zip file. With both active, the Pro options appear in the Caddy settings.

How to Download Caddy Pro

The Caddy Pro is available for download here on Ultrapack. After saving the .zip file, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file and activate it. With the plugin active, the appearance and behavior options for the side cart appear in WooCommerce’s settings panel.

The practical difference with Caddy Pro is treating the cart as a constantly accessible interface element, rather than a separate destination page. For those who sell multi-purchase items, where the average ticket depends on customers adding several items in the same visit, keeping the storefront visible throughout the process directly impacts the item volume per order.
