Overview
Caddy is a high performance WooCommerce side cart plugin (also known as a floating cart, sliding cart, cart drawer, or mini cart) that improves your store’s shopping experience and helps grow your sales.

5 star plugin for years! – UPDATE 2026
by retroreiz·10 months ago·1 reply
UPDATE 25.03.2026:
I’ve been using this plugin for several years now, and I’m truly impressed by how actively and reliably it continues to be maintained.
The developer is constantly working to keep the plugin up to date, most recently even making adjustments to align with the latest WooCommerce API for the shopping cart. That’s anything but a given these days.
I’d especially like to highlight the support: Inquiries and issues are addressed quickly, and solutions are implemented promptly. It’s clear that there’s a genuine commitment to keeping the plugin stable and compatible in the long term.
For our purposes, the plugin continues to cover everything we need and the entire package is even available for free at this level of functionality. That’s truly remarkable.
Thank you very much for the ongoing work and the excellent support!
————————–
We would like to say thank you for the great plugin. We have been using the plugin for 4 years now. It performs extremely well. The support also helps in a very short time (less than 24 hours).
And all for free! What else is free these days!

Frequently Asked Questions
Changelog
3.0.2
- Fix: Cart item prices now remain tax-inclusive after quantity changes when WooCommerce is set to display prices including tax.
- Fix: Prices now display correctly for currencies with non-standard decimal settings (e.g. INR with 0 decimals, JPY). Previously all Store API prices were hardcoded to divide by 100.
- Fix: Cart item shortcode (
[cc_cart_items]) is now clickable regardless of whether Save for Later is active. - Fix: Shop page add-to-cart buttons no longer replace theme icons/markup with text, preventing layout shifts and preserving theme styling (e.g. WoodMart, Flatsome).
- Fix: Caddy Recommendations now display correctly for variable products (previously looked up variation ID instead of parent product).
