The WC Auto Update Cart plugin enhances the standard WooCommerce cart by automatically updating the cart totals and contents when customers change the quantity of any product. This eliminates the need for customers to manually click the “Update Cart” button, streamlining their shopping experience.
What Happens When Customers Change Quantity
- When a user increases or decreases the quantity of a product in the cart, the plugin detects this change.
- The cart page refreshes automatically, updating item subtotals, totals, taxes, and any shipping fees dynamically.
- Customers see immediate feedback on their cart without extra clicks, making the process faster and more intuitive.
Important Notes
- The plugin requires the WooCommerce default cart shortcode
[woocommerce_cart]on the Cart page to work correctly. - Auto update triggers on quantity changes only; other cart changes (e.g., coupon application) still require manual update unless handled separately.
- You can optionally hide the “Update Cart” button when auto-update is enabled for a cleaner interface.
