Cart Opening Direction

The Cart Opening Direction feature in Modern Cart for WooCommerce lets you control from which side of the screen the slide-out cart appears when opened. This gives you flexibility to match your site’s design and improve user experience.

You can choose to open the cart from the left or right side of the screen — making it intuitive for your audience based on reading direction or site layout.

Why Use Cart Opening Direction?

Setting the correct opening direction helps ensure your cart feels natural and unobtrusive. Here’s why this feature is useful:

  • User Experience: Align the cart behavior with your visitors’ reading flow — right side for LTR languages and left side for RTL languages.
  • Design Flexibility: Prevent overlaps with other elements like sticky menus or sidebars.
  • Accessibility: Enhance usability for multilingual or RTL-based sites.

How to Set the Cart Opening Direction?

Step 1: Navigate to the Modern Cart Settings, then click on the General Tab.

Step 2: Inside the General Tab, you will find the Cart Opening Direction setting.

Once saved, the cart will always slide in from your chosen side whenever a user clicks the floating cart icon.
