the 22 Asteris Cart modules for WooCommerce
Asteris Cart bundles 22 cart and checkout modules into one WooCommerce plugin: the side cart, cart page, floating button, add-to-cart popup, mobile sticky bar, empty cart page, shipping calculator, free shipping bar, coupon URLs, multi-step checkout, express checkout, urgency timer, trust badges, GDPR consent, sticky checkout button, pixel bridge, field editor, quote mode, login, safe mode and thank-you page. Each is listed below with what it does and which tier includes it.
Cart experience
- Side Cart — An off-canvas drawer cart that opens when a customer adds to cart, with real-time fragment updates over WooCommerce AJAX.
- Cart Page — Three modes for the cart page: default WooCommerce, an Asteris-styled classic layout, or skip-to-checkout that redirects the cart straight to checkout.
- Floating Cart Button — An always-visible floating cart icon with a live item-count badge.
- Add-to-Cart Popup — A confirmation modal after add-to-cart, with continue and checkout buttons and an optional cross-sell row.
- Mobile Sticky Bar — A bottom-of-screen sticky bar on cart and product pages for thumbs-first mobile shopping.
- Empty Cart Page — A custom empty-cart page with heading, body, call to action and an optional best-sellers grid, instead of WooCommerce’s flat empty message.
- Shipping Calculator — A postcode and country aware shipping calculator shown beside the cart totals, rendered even on virtual products, with country-priority sorting via geolocation.
- Free Shipping Bar — A multi-tier progress bar in the side cart and at the top of checkout that reads your real WooCommerce shipping zone and uses the actual min_amount, with a Site Health warning when the threshold matches no zone.
- Coupon URL — Auto-applies a coupon when a customer arrives via a /?coupon=CODE URL.
Checkout experience
- Multi-Step Checkout — A two-step, Shopify-style checkout built on classic WooCommerce hooks.
- Express Checkout — Surfaces Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and Amazon Pay, auto-detecting the supporting gateway, with a per-method, per-zone kill switch to control which express buttons appear by region.
- Urgency Timer — A countdown above the cart or checkout that, when it reaches zero, expires the cart server-side and releases the WooCommerce stock hold.
- Trust Badges — Security, guarantee and payment-method badges near the checkout button: a 16-badge SVG library, a payment-logo row, and cart-context-aware conditional display.
- GDPR Consent — An unbundled marketing opt-in per GDPR Article 7(2), shown to EU, EEA and UK customers, with salted hashed IPs, policy-version fingerprinting and personal-data export and erase support.
- Sticky Checkout Button — On mobile, when the real place-order button scrolls out of view a floating mirror appears; tapping it clicks the real button so every gateway hook fires identically.
- Pixel Bridge — Re-fires Meta, Google and TikTok purchase events on custom thank-you URLs, the most common reason checkout plugins break ad attribution.
- Field Editor — Add, remove and reorder checkout fields, with conditional logic and arbitrary meta keys, in a proper admin UI.
- Quote Mode — A manual-quote workflow for custom-priced products using real WooCommerce order statuses, cron-based expiry, reminder emails and per-product or per-category gating.
Revenue, growth and operations
- Login — Inline checkout login with returning-customer detection.
- Safe Mode — A global kill switch with three trigger paths (option, URL token, WP-CLI).
- Thank-You Page — A custom thank-you (order-received) page, working alongside the Pixel Bridge so attribution survives the custom URL.
